Gavel is an on-chain token distribution and liquidity bootstrapping platform built on Solana, introduced by Ellipsis Labs in May 2025. Gavel's Twitter Score is 55 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of September 2026, ranking #15,961 (top 5%) among 486,573 tracked accounts.
Gavel is designed to move token distribution fully on-chain, support price discovery, and reduce exposure to sniping and toxic MEV. A launch on the platform follows two phases: an initial deposit period during which users contribute SOL and receive a token allocation at the end, followed by deployment of a portion of the token supply and collected capital into Gavel's own sandwich-resistant AMM. The platform charges no fee on the initial token distribution phase and applies a 30 basis point fee on AMM swaps. Launching on Gavel is permissioned, while participation is permissionless and governed by on-chain smart contracts.
Gavel is operated by Ellipsis Research, Inc., the legal services provider identified in Gavel's Terms, and is built by Ellipsis Labs. Ellipsis Labs raised $21 million in a round led by Haun Ventures, with participation from Electric Capital and Paradigm, among others. Ellipsis Labs also develops Phoenix, an on-chain orderbook DEX, and Atlas, a blockchain purpose-built for verifiable finance.
Gavel has demonstrated its protocol in production through $IBRL, a test token with no present or future utility, structured so that 100% of funds collected and 100% of token supply flow into the Gavel mechanism with nothing retained by the team. For that sale, 700,000,000 of a total 1,000,000,000 $IBRL tokens were distributed through a 24-hour public sale, with the remaining 300,000,000 paired with a proportional share of collected SOL as initial AMM liquidity. Gavel has published 23 posts and has been mentioned by 38 accounts a total of 65 times, with 9,701 followers as of September 2026 on the platform.
