# Intro

## What is Vasto?

Simplified token creation for everyone from meme coin creators to advanced Web3 builders.

## Why Vasto?

You can launch a project with custom tokenomics, DeFi elements, games and more in a matter of minutes, **no coding required**.

## What is our goal?

**Our goal is to empower creators to build and manage their own tokenized communities with ease no technical knowledge required.**\
We aim to unlock the ability to create truly unique projects, where the only limit is the creator’s imagination.

## Motto

Our main motto is *“**By the community, for the community**”.* \
We are aware that not everyone will have the same needs. That’s why we’re counting on you to let us know what else could be added that would benefit you and others like you.

**Nothing is set in stone -** We have a roadmap with milestones and goals but the truth is no one can see into the future. We want our project to grow and change just as the users needs, wants, and expectations towards the project change.

**Decentralization** - We've noticed that many projects focus entirely on being 100% decentralized, with every decision being made through a series of votes involving a DAO. The problem is that this kind of development is expensive in both time and resources. Although we agree that decentralization is amazing, in our opinion, it's not the best solution every single time.

Our goal is to one day achieve a fully decentralized platform where users will be pulling the strings. However, until that day comes, we would like to leverage blockchain technology in a different way:

* We would like to focus on simple solutions that are already battle tested.
* Use simple smart contracts to do what they do best (store information on the blockchain in a clever and transparent way)
* Focus on adding functionality to the platform instead of spending time to achieve 100% decentralization (functionality first)

#### Disclaimer

Vasto is launching in alpha mode to test our infrastructure, which means not all features are tested or will be available from day one. As a reward for users who believe in us from the beginning, we will be launching an early adopters program to reward people who are with us from the start.
