IDO stands for Initial DEX Offering. It is a method of public fundraising that pools capital from retail users by utilizing a decentralized platform as the venue for facilitating the transactions. This model is superior to the preceding ICO model because the platform can provide a higher degree of security for end users by collecting the funding and only releasing to the projects after the satisfaction of a certain criteria.
The crowdfunding/private sale is a very early round of fundraising that takes place right before an IDO. Typically just a day or so before an IDO launch. These rounds tend to offer superior rates but also incur prolonged vesting periods.
FCFS is the acronym for First-Come-First-Serve, and it refers to the round of fundraising that becomes available to the general public after the guaranteed round. As the name might suggest, FCFS rounds are based on timing, available token supplies are sold to participants that arrive ahead of others.
Almost. Before being able to participate in the IDO’s users must do two more actions. First, once $CGPT is acquired, users must make sure to have enough tier points for inclusion, if yes, then simply stake their tokens in the official staking dashboard. Second, they must pass KYC.
Yes. Every IDO launch will have a “refund grace period” lasting 7–14 days on average that allows participating users added time to evaluate their decisions before finalizing the commitments.
Pool weight is calculated based on the distribution of tier points among participating members and their corresponding tier levels. Every pool has a structured base range that is dependent on their staking tier points.
• Stablecoins: USDT, USDC, BUSD
• Cryptocurrencies: BNB, ETH

Yes. If you wish to split up your $CGPT stake across different pools, the Launchpad will calculate your points based on their individual placements. The minimum number of tokens required is 1,000 $CGPT.
The entry-level tier is Ape, which requires 2,000 points. Based on the maximum multiplier of 2x for the 365-day staking pool.
Tier points are calculated based on two simple factors: the number of tokens staked and the duration of the staking pool they are allocated to.
There are four tiers in the launchpad system: Ape, Chad, Shark, and Whale.
The allocation multiplier specifies the amount of tokens that participants will be able to purchase at the different tier levels. Every tier has its own corresponding allocation multiplier: Ape: 1, Chad: 4+, Shark: 10+, Whale 40+.
Yes, absolutely! Innovators from all sectors of the digital economy are invited to apply.
Yes. ChainGPT upholds high-quality standards that must be met in order for a project to be given access to the LaunchPad.
After submitting an application, they will undergo an initial screening by the ChainGPT Team. Following the screening, projects will be put through an in-depth due diligence process. Only projects that pass the rigorous qualitative assessment are inducted into the incubator and given the rights to list their IDO on the Launchpad.
The duration of the incubation program depends on the individual needs of a project, averaging around 12 months but can be as long as 18–24 months.
Projects are not required to be incubated to apply for an IDO listing. However, if a project decides to go through the incubation program, they must IDO via the ChainGPT Pad.
There is no set maximum. The capacity is based on a project-to-project basis. A multitude of factors will be taken into account, which help gauge potential outcomes, whenever the fundraising goals are being set, which will dictate the maximum capacity.
Yes. KYC is required for participating at any tier level. The KYC process has been made maximally simple through our partner Blockpass. To sign up, please follow our official link:
