What to Expect During an IDO: A Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Participating in an Initial DEX Offering (IDO) can be an exciting opportunity to get in on the ground floor of promising blockchain projects. However, if you’re new to the world of crypto launchpads, the process might seem a bit daunting. This guide will walk you through the entire process on GameFi.org, ensuring you’re fully prepared to jump into the action confidently.

Step 1: Grasp the Basics of an IDO

First things first—understand what an IDO is.

An IDO (Initial DEX Offering) is a way for cryptocurrency projects to raise funds through a Decentralized Exchange (DEX). In an IDO, a project sells its tokens to investors before the Token Generation Event (TGE) in exchange for initial capital to bootstrap the product.

One of the most significant advantages of IDOs is that investors can acquire tokens early, positioning themselves advantageously before the tokens are listed on any exchange.

Additionally, IDOs are completely decentralized, meaning they operate independently of any central authority. This provides investors with more transparency and control over their investments.

Step 2: Set Up and Fund Your Wallet

To participate in an IDO on GameFi.org, you need a crypto wallet compatible with the blockchain of the IDO. Popular choices include MetaMask and Trust Wallet, and others that support Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, or other blockchains.

Once your wallet is set up, fund it with the necessary cryptocurrency (ETH, USDT, or GAFI - our launchpad’s native token for staking). Ensure you have enough to cover both the token purchase and transaction fees.

Step 3: Register and Complete KYC

At GameFi.org, you'll need to complete a Know Your Customer (KYC) process. This involves verifying your identity by submitting personal info and documentation. Register for the IDO by connecting your wallet and following any additional instructions provided.

Keep an eye on our announcements to ensure you complete registration and secure your spot.

Step 4: Learn About the Project

Before investing, do your homework. Read the project’s whitepaper, explore their website, and check out announcements on our official channels. Following the project's community channels like Telegram or Discord can provide valuable updates and insights.

Understanding the project’s use case, tokenomics, and team will help you make an informed decision.

Step 5: Participate in the IDO

On IDO day, be prepared and act fast—these sales can sell out quickly. Here’s how to get involved:

• Connect Your Wallet: Log in to GameFi.org and connect your wallet.
• Join the Sale: Head to the IDO page, select your investment amount, and confirm the transaction. Remember, only $GAFI stakers can access the Guarantee Phase. Non-stakers can only participate in FCFS, where hot projects may already be sold out.
• Claim Your Tokens: After the IDO, claim your tokens. Note that some projects may lock tokens for a vesting period, meaning you'll receive them gradually.

Step 6: Stay Informed Post-IDO

Your journey doesn’t end after the IDO.

At the Token Generation Event (TGE), you'll typically receive 20% to 50% of your purchased tokens, with the remainder vesting over 3 to 12 months.

Keep up with the project's progress, token vesting, and team updates. Engaging with the community provides valuable insights into the project’s evolution and future opportunities.

Monitor the market for the best times to trade or stake your tokens based on your investment strategy.

Conclusion

Participating in an IDO on GameFi.org can be highly rewarding, giving you early access to exciting blockchain projects. By following this guide, you'll navigate the process with confidence, from wallet setup to token claiming. Remember, thorough research and staying informed are crucial to maximizing your IDO experience.
