If there is one major difference between the 2017 ICO growth and the current IDO landscape, it is that the latter is founded on egalitarian principles such as community and inclusion.
IDOs (short for Preliminary DEX Providing) reserve allocation for public supporters as opposed to pump-and-dump speculators; contributors should ‘qualify’ to be included in such rounds. These standards include involvement levels and long-term support, which means that true stakeholders are given preference over those who can conduct the quickest transactions using the most fuel.
In fact, a recent review suggested that IDOs could eventually replace IPOs as the primary method through which companies raise capital and list publicly. While it is still early, one thing is certain: IDOs represents an incredible opportunity for investors to join in on the ground floor of a potential project. From hundreds of active participants prior to IDO to heavily subscribed whitelists, the current crop of options includes a proven collection of groups and concepts with the ability to disrupt the industry as a whole.
Here are the highest 5 upcoming IDOs based on neighborhood, traction, enjoyment, and alternative, in no particular order.
1. Swash
Swash intends to rebalance the $3 trillion knowledge economic system in a manner that protects user privacy. Founded two years ago by a group of blockchain and cybersecurity veterans, the company enables businesses, developers, and individuals to profit from a reimagined collaborative ecosystem where enterprises gain access to high-quality data at scale and end-users regain ownership of their valuable private data.
The whitelist for Swash’s IDO just concluded with over 45,000 applications, and the event began on Gnosis Public Sale and will end the next day at 23:59:59 UTC. The platform’s native cross-chain utility and governance token ($SWASH) has multiple uses within the ecosystem, including as a medium of exchange for purchasing and selling information and services. A detailed guide on participating in the Swash IDO can be found on this page.
2. Ariadne
Ariadne is a chain-agnostic DeFi market with a focus on lowering fees and removing friction in decentralized finance. By minimizing swapping and bridging costs for both EVM and non-EVM chains – including Polygon, BSC, Ethereum, and Aurora (NEAR) – Ariadne makes it easier to take advantage of the numerous options accessible within the current bull market.
With preparations in place to support additional networks early next year (Avalanche, Fantom), the project could be a lifesaver for DeFi retailers juggling multiple chains. Ariadne’s IDO is being conducted on the Unimaginable Launchpad, with a pool of 150,000 $ARDN tokens allocated to each a normal and limitless sale, representing around 1.2% of the total supply. All pertinent information, including stake limits and vesting schedule, can be found here.
3. Pollen
Pollen, a tool for asset administration that extends beyond yield farming and AMMs, is a second initiative with DeFi enhancement as its objective. Built on a community-governed consensus layer, the dApp lets consumers to design unique asset pools that are continually recalibrated and optimized in response to market alternatives and circumstances.
The native currency of the protocol, meanwhile, represents a compensation structure that encourages merchants to actively submit recommendations to optimize portfolios for the benefit of the community. Pollen is currently preparing for its $PLN token sale on the Launchpool platform on BSC on November 8, with the process concluding nine days later on November 17. All relevant information can be found at the aforementioned link.
4. Pocket Enviornment
Pocket Enviornment is a mission that focuses on the convergence of gaming and DeFi, or gamefi as it is now often known. A mobile-first, play-to-earn NFT video games portal based on the peak of the unique ICO development, Pocket Enviornment is backed by a number of major VC funds (Signum Capital, Unanimous Capital) and is presently centered on promoting Fortress Protection, a skill-based medieval recreation in which gamers wage war, form guilds, buy and lease land plots, and earn tokens.
The Pocket Environment IDO will result in the availability of 750,000,000 POC tokens. The event, hosted on PAID Network’s Ignition Launchpad, allows participants the opportunity to acquire the utility tokens required to interact with the rapidly expanding NFT system. There are plans to list POC on the primary BSC-based DEX PancakeSwap following the launch.
5. Good Video games Guild
Good Video Games Guild is another sci-fi gaming project that is attracting attention in the cryptosphere. Combining play-to-earn, rent-to-earn, and stake-to-earn incentive mechanisms, the blockchain-based gaming hub aims to build the world’s largest digital global economy by creating value for gamers and NFT collectors. An ambitious objective, to be sure, but it will meet tough competition in the coming years.
GGG is preparing to launch a Triple IDO on Seedify, Ignition, and MoonStarter in early November before it can even begin to contemplate global dominance. The IDO will collectively help the platform raise $360,000, with 1.2 million native tokens up for grabs. Good Video Games Guild is founded on the premise that “everyone can make a living from gaming” and is backed by a number of prominent VC firms (AU21 Capital, NGC Ventures). Whether or whether it is accurate, its IDO is bound to garner a great deal of attention.
