Welcome to the Project Participation Guide

This guide will walk you through how to explore featured projects, connect your wallet, review project details, and participate in token sales on our platform. Whether you're a first-time investor or an experienced user, follow these simple steps to confidently navigate and join promising early-stage opportunities.

1. Explore Featured Projects

Scroll down to the Projects Section to browse a variety of token sales. Each Project Card displays key information at a glance to help you quickly assess investment opportunities.

Project Categories

Use the filter tabs on the top right to navigate:

  • Ongoing: Projects currently open for investment. You can buy tokens during this stage.

  • Upcoming: Projects launching soon. Review project details and prepare before the sale opens.

  • Ended: Projects that have closed fundraising. No further purchases allowed, but still visible for reference or claiming NFTs.

  • All: View all projects regardless of status.


2. Whatโ€™s Displayed on Each Project Card

  • Project Name: Official title and ID of the project.

  • Price Per Token: Cost of one token (shown in USDT).

  • Total Fundraised: The total USDT collected during the fundraising period. โ†’ Indicates community interest and project credibility.

  • Total Participants: Number of unique wallet addresses that joined the sale.

3. How to Connect Your Wallet

  1. Click [Login] on the top right.

  2. Choose your preferred wallet: MetaMask, WalletConnect, Keplr, etc.

  3. Make sure you have enough USDT and gas fees available for purchases.


4. Project Overview Page

When you click on a project, youโ€™ll see:

  1. Project Title, Category, and Description: Quick introduction to what the project does.

  2. Price per Token: Fixed cost per token in USDT (e.g., 0.003 USDT per token).

  3. Fully Distributed Valuation (FDV)

    FDV represents the total value of the project if all tokens were in circulation at the current token price. It is calculated as: FDV = Total Token Supply ร— Price Per Token This figure helps assess how the project's valuation might look at full supply โ€” important for evaluating market potential and investment risks.

  4. Allocation

    Allocation refers to the portion of total tokens made available for public sale on the platform. It shows the percentage or number of tokens dedicated to this fundraising event relative to the total token supply. A smaller allocation can imply scarcity, while a larger allocation can suggest a broader distribution strategy.

  5. Total Fundraised: Cumulative USDT raised so far.

  6. Total Participants: Number of investors who purchased tokens.

  7. Countdown Timer: Time remaining before the fundraising closes.

  8. Description: A brief overview explaining what the project does, the problem it aims to solve, and its unique value proposition. This section helps you quickly understand the project's core concept before diving deeper into detailed documents like the Deck or Roadmap.

    2. Roadmap: Future milestones and development plans.
