Standard IDO (Tiered)

Overview

ChainGPT Pad supports multiple token sale formats. Standard IDO (Tiered) is the traditional ChainGPT Pad launch format where users stake $CGPT to unlock a tier, register for an IDO, and then receive a known allocation before the sale starts.

Unlike Public Sale (Subscription), Standard IDOs are designed around:

• Tier-based access

• A registration period

• An allocation announcement (you know how much you can buy before purchase opens)

• Multiple rounds (Guaranteed + FCFS, and sometimes an early Diamond-only window)

• Token claiming based on the project’s vesting schedule

Important: In Standard IDOs, you typically know your purchase limit/allocation before the buying window opens.

---

What This Format Is (and Is Not)

What it is

• Tier-gated: Users qualify by staking $CGPT and reaching a tier (Bronze/Silver/Gold/Diamond).

• Registration-based: Users register during a registration window to be included in allocation.

• Allocation is announced before purchase: After registration closes, ChainGPT Pad calculates allocations and publishes them.

• Round-based sale: A Standard IDO typically has:

  • (Optional) Diamond Pre-Order / Early Access

  • Guaranteed Allocation Round

  • FCFS Round (for leftover allocation)

What it is not

• It is not an open sale where anyone can commit unlimited funds at any time.

• It is not a pro-rata subscription model where allocations are determined only by total committed amount.

• It is not a “join late and still get guaranteed allocation” system—registration timing matters.

Standard IDO vs Public Sale (Subscription)

If you’re deciding which format you’re participating in:

Standard IDO (Tiered)

• Requires staking/tier

• Has registration

• Allocation announced before buying

• Guaranteed + FCFS structure

Public Sale (Subscription)

• Open to everyone (KYC required)

• No registration

• Allocation determined after sale ends

• Oversubscription may create excess refunds

• Stakers may receive boost + lower fees (if applicable)

---

Eligibility & Requirements

To participate in a Standard IDO (Tiered), you must:

1. Complete KYC (identity verification)

2. Stake $CGPT and reach the required tier

3. Connect a supported wallet

4. Hold the required purchase currency (shown on the sale page) and enough network gas to submit transactions

Restricted Countries: Participation may be restricted in certain jurisdictions. Refer to the latest restricted country list in ChainGPT documentation.

How Tiers Work (Simple Explanation)

Standard IDOs use staking tiers to reward long-term supporters of the ChainGPT ecosystem.

In general:

• You stake $CGPT

• You earn tier points

• Your tier (Bronze/Silver/Gold/Diamond) determines:

  • Which rounds you can access

  • How large your allocation can be relative to others (tier weighting/multipliers)

Important: Tier rules and exact allocation mechanics can vary by campaign. Always follow the sale page rules for that IDO.

---

End-to-End Standard IDO Flow (A–Z)

Step 1 - Prepare Early: KYC + Stake

Before registration opens, make sure you are ready:

• Complete KYC (don’t wait until the last day)

• Stake $CGPT to reach your tier

• Connect your wallet and confirm you’re using the correct network shown on the sale page

Tip: If you stake right before the snapshot/registration closes, you may miss eligibility depending on campaign rules. Stake early.

---

Step 2 - IDO Announcement & Sale Page (Pre-Sale)

When an IDO is announced, the sale page will typically show:

• Project/token information

• Price / rate

• Sale schedule (registration dates, round start times)

• Accepted purchase currency

• Token generation event (TGE) and vesting/claim schedule

• Round eligibility rules

• Any special conditions (caps, whitelists, etc.)

You can review everything, but you can’t buy yet.

---

Step 3 - Registration Period (Required for Guaranteed Allocation)

Standard IDOs usually require a registration step.

What registration does

• Confirms your intent to participate

• Locks in the participant set used to calculate allocations

• Enables the platform to publish allocations before purchase begins

What you should do

• Register during the registration window shown on the sale page

• Make sure your wallet is connected and KYC is approved

• Confirm you meet the tier requirements

Important: If you don’t register, you typically won’t receive a guaranteed allocation (and you may be excluded from some rounds).

---

Step 4 - Allocation Calculation & Announcement (Snapshot)

After registration closes:

• ChainGPT Pad takes a snapshot (based on the campaign rules)

• The system calculates allocations based on:

  • Your tier / staking points

  • Total number of registered participants

  • Total sale capacity

Then:

• Your allocation is announced on the sale page

• You will see a clear maximum purchase amount (your cap) before the buying round opens

This is a key difference vs Public Sale (Subscription): you know your allocation in advance.

---

Step 5 - Sale Rounds

Round 0 (Optional): Diamond Pre-Order / Early Access

Some Standard IDOs include an early access window.

Typical characteristics:

• Eligibility: Diamond tier (only)

• Purpose: Gives top-tier users early access before the Guaranteed Round opens

• Duration: Often a short window (example: ~12 hours), but always follow the sale page timing

If your campaign doesn’t include this round, it will not appear on the sale page.

Round 1: Guaranteed Allocation Round

This is the main round for Standard IDOs.

Typical characteristics:

• Eligibility: Tiered users who registered (exact tiers depend on the campaign)

• What you can buy: Up to your announced allocation

• Duration: Often 24 hours or more (campaign-specific)

Important notes

• If you don’t buy during the Guaranteed Round, your unpurchased allocation may become available to others later (typically in FCFS).

• Some IDOs can close early if the sale reaches its maximum capacity.

Round 2: FCFS (First Come, First Serve)

FCFS is designed to distribute leftover allocation after the Guaranteed Round.

Typical characteristics:

• Eligibility: Defined per campaign (often tiered participants; sometimes requires prior registration)

• How it works: First come, first served until the remaining capacity is filled

• Outcome: Not guaranteed—speed matters and the round can end quickly if demand is high

Important: If an IDO sells out in earlier rounds, FCFS may be very limited or not happen at all.

---

Step 6 - After the IDO: Claim Tokens (Vesting)

After the sale ends, users claim their tokens according to the project’s schedule.

What you may see:

• TGE unlock (initial claim)

• Vesting schedule (additional claims over time)

You may need to claim multiple times over weeks/months, depending on the vesting structure shown on the sale page.

Reminder: Always check the claim schedule and unlock percentages on the campaign page.

---

Refunds (If Available)

Some Standard IDOs may allow refunds under campaign-specific rules.

If refunds are enabled for an IDO, the sale page will specify:

• Whether refunds are available

• The refund window (open/close time)

• What amount is refundable and under what conditions

Important: Refund rules are campaign-specific. Always follow the sale page.

---

What You’ll See on the Sale Page

Common labels you’ll see throughout a Standard IDO:

• Tier Status (Bronze/Silver/Gold/Diamond)

• KYC Status (Approved / Required)

• Registration Status (Registered / Not Registered)

• Allocation (your purchase cap for Guaranteed Round)

• Round Timer (countdown to current/next phase)

• Purchased (how much you already bought)

• Remaining Allocation (how much you can still buy in that round)

• Claimable Now (tokens you can claim today)

• Next Unlock (next vesting release)

FAQ

Do I need to stake $CGPT to participate?

Yes. Standard IDO (Tiered) requires staking and a tier to be eligible.

Do I have to register?

If you want access to the Guaranteed Allocation Round, usually yes. Registration rules are shown on the sale page.

When do I know my allocation?

After registration closes and allocations are calculated, your allocation is shown before buying opens.

Can I buy more than my allocation?

Not in the Guaranteed Round. Buying above allocation is typically only possible in FCFS, if capacity remains.

What happens if I miss registration?

You may lose access to Guaranteed Allocation and may only be eligible for FCFS (if the campaign allows it).

Why is my allocation smaller than expected?

Allocations depend on:

• Your tier/staking points

• Total number of registered participants

• Sale capacity and campaign rules

When do I receive tokens?

Tokens are claimed after the sale, usually via a vesting schedule (TGE + unlocks over time).
