Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get whitelisted?
Follow project socials, join Discord, complete tasks (tweets, quizzes), refer friends. Some require staking launchpad tokens. Start early - spots fill fast.
What if the sale is oversubscribed?
Depends on method. FCFS: fastest wins. Lottery: random selection. Pro-rata: everyone gets proportional cut. Guaranteed: you get your full allocation.
Should I sell at TGE or hold?
Most tokens dump 50-80% after TGE hype. Consider selling TGE portion to recover cost, then hold the rest. Or set limit orders above listing price.
Are public sales worth the effort?
For small allocations ($100-500), often not. Gas fees, time spent, and opportunity cost add up. Better for larger allocations or high-conviction plays.
What's the catch with 100% TGE?
Everyone can sell immediately, so expect heavy dump pressure. Price often crashes 50%+ in first hour. You need to be fast or set limit orders pre-listing.
Can US residents participate?
Most public sales exclude US due to SEC regulations. Some use VPNs but that violates terms and risks losing funds. Check each project's terms carefully.
