Initial Decentralized Offerings (IDOs) have become popular for blockchain-based startups to raise capital. With the rise of decentralized finance (DeFi), IDOs allow investors to invest in promising blockchain-based projects at an early stage. Here, we will discuss what IDOs are, how they work, and the steps you need to take to participate in one.
What is an IDO?
An IDO is a fundraising method used by blockchain-based startups to raise capital. In an IDO, a new cryptocurrency is issued, and investors can purchase this new token with an existing cryptocurrency, such as Ethereum or Bitcoin.
The IDO process usually involves the creation of a liquidity pool on a decentralized exchange (DEX), such as Uniswap or PancakeSwap, where the new token is traded. Investors who contribute to the liquidity pool receive a portion of the new token as a reward for their investment.
How do IDOs work?
The IDO process usually starts with announcing the new project on social media platforms like Twitter or Telegram. Interested investors can then register on the IDO platform and submit their KYC/AML documents if required.
Once the IDO begins, investors can participate by sending the cryptocurrency they plan to use for the investment to the designated address on the IDO platform. The platform will provide instructions on how to do this, so follow them carefully.
After the IDO is completed, the new token is listed on the DEX, where investors can trade it with other cryptocurrencies. The market’s supply and demand determine the new token’s price.

YouSui’s Launchpad is divided into IDO and INO, a launchpad related to tokens and the initial minting of NFTs, respectively.
To participate in the IDO, you need to follow the steps outlined below:
Step 1: Purchase XUI tokens.

Step 4: Buy a ticket and join the IDO.
The purchase method in all tiers is the same as the lottery method, and only those who have purchased tickets can participate.
Tickets that fail token swap through Launchpad can be used in the next Launchpad.
Step 5: Claim your tokens.
If the purchased ticket has successfully participated in Launchpad, you can go to the Claims page to check your Release Schedule and claim.
