The gateway to Africa's
on-chain economy.
We help your project launch — and you keep 100% of your company.
LaunchLab is MANSSA®'s startup program: we help builders turn real-world assets into on-chain products. We run two groups a year ("cohorts") for web3 startups, banks, and fintechs across Africa. Each project plugs straight into infrastructure that already works — price feeds (oracle), identity and anti-fraud checks (compliance), the tools to issue tokens, and a ready-made wallet. In return, projects don't give us shares: they align with $MANSSA, the protocol's token. We call this alignment, not equity — and we explain exactly how it works below.
Four concrete
contributions.
« LaunchLab gives any builder — a web3 startup, a bank, a fintech — four ready-made pieces that normally take months to build: verified price data (the oracle), the compliance checks regulators require, the contracts that turn an asset into a token, and a wallet your users pay no fees to use. Each piece you don't have to build saves you months. In return, each project aligns with the ecosystem through $MANSSA, the protocol's token — no shares change hands. »
Funding you don't pay back
A grant — money you don't repay — from the MANSSA Foundation Treasury, between $250K and $2M USD per project. You receive it as you hit agreed milestones, not on a fixed schedule. It is non-dilutive: you take the capital without giving us any shares in your company.
KETZAL trust & compliance layer
Access to KETZAL — the layer that proves, on-chain, that your assets are real and your data is untampered. It gives you verified price feeds (the oracle), the identity and anti-money-laundering checks regulators require (KYC/AML), continuous proof that the assets exist (proof-of-reserve), and live monitoring of your data. It's included in the cohort, up to $400K USD of value. You don't build compliance from scratch — you plug into ours.
Tools to turn an asset into a token
Ready-made contracts to issue your token, manage it, and let holders redeem it for the real asset behind it (redemption). Every token is over-collateralised — backed by more real value than its price, a built-in safety buffer. A real asset — a bank deposit, an unpaid invoice (a receivable), a commodity like cocoa or gold — becomes a live on-chain token in weeks, not months. The regulatory groundwork is already done.
A seat at the governance table
Cohort projects get a seat in the DAO — the body where token holders vote on the protocol's decisions. The seat lets you observe but not vote, so you see how decisions are made from the inside. You also get a direct technical contact on the Security Council, the group of seven that safeguards the protocol, to help you integrate. Visibility and credibility, straight from the protocol.
How projects align
with the ecosystem.
Most accelerators take a slice of your company. We don't. Instead of shares, each project aligns with the protocol three ways: it stakes $MANSSA, it pairs its own token with $MANSSA in a liquidity pool, and it pays fees for the services it uses (oracle, compliance, tokenisation, wallet). The more projects build and use the stack, the more demand they create for $MANSSA — and that demand funds the next cohort. Your incubation contract sets the exact stake, pool size, and fees. They are negotiated within ranges that governance has set, and the whole arrangement is auditable on-chain by the DAO. The program runs within Morocco's digital-asset framework (Bill 42.25, overseen by the central bank BAM and the markets regulator AMMC) — so this is regulated infrastructure, not a side deal.
Four lanes.
One continental thesis.
« We build an ecosystem, cohort after cohort. »
We choose projects by what they're building, not by hype. The stack fits anyone with a real asset, a real customer base, or a real compliance problem who wants to solve it on-chain. "African-built" means a real one: an African team, an African problem, and revenue earned in Africa.
We align.
We build infrastructure.
« Every project we back keeps 100% of its company. The protocol earns from the ecosystem we build together — staking, liquidity, and service fees, never your shares. A model built to last. »
LaunchLab — operated under MANSSA protocol governance- 01You keep 100% of your company — no shares to us. You align instead through on-chain mechanics: staking $MANSSA, providing liquidity, and paying protocol fees.
- 02The stack is open to all kinds of builders: real-asset projects, web3 startups, banks, fintechs, and institutions that want to operate on-chain on infrastructure that already works.
- 03KETZAL plugs in verified price data and compliance from day one — identity and anti-fraud checks (KYC/AML) and continuous proof that the assets exist (proof-of-reserve) — so you meet regulators' requirements without building your own layer.
- 04Your incubation contract spells out the stake, the size of the liquidity pool, and the fees — all negotiated within ranges that governance has set, and open for the DAO to audit on-chain.

Founders plug into a stack that works.
Governance & Utility Token
The token you use to vote on the protocol and to pay for its services. As the protocol does more, $MANSSA captures more of that value. 10% of all $MANSSA funds LaunchLab and its grants.
Trust & Compliance Layer
The layer that proves, on-chain, that your assets are real and your data is untampered: verified price feeds, identity and anti-fraud checks, and continuous proof of reserve — included from day one.
Governance, kept in check
The body where token holders vote on the protocol's decisions, within strict limits. Cohort projects get an observer seat — they watch but don't vote — and a technical contact on the Security Council, the group of seven that safeguards the protocol.
The protocol is doctrinal.
The conversation is open.
