Prices for Crowd offering Phase: investors will have a declining discount as the crowd offering progresses:

Early-bird: 1 BTC = 35000
Week 1: 1 BTC = 34000
Week 2: 1 BTC = 32500
Week 3: 1 BTC = 31000

Please Note:

  1. Oversubscription in crowd offering: when INK token offering raises more than 11,000 BTC equivalent of digital assets at market price, the participating channels for token offering will be closed immediately. But even when the channels are shut down, there is still a chance of oversubscription, leading to the crowd offering receiving more than 11,000 BTC. In such an event, the exceeding amount of fund will be returned to the investors within 15 days after the crowd offering. Please note that no interest will be paid in such case.
  2. Crowdfunding failure: If the crowd offering does not hit 3500BTC, it will be considered a failed offering. In such case, the offering will be terminated immediately with the exceeding amount of fund returned to the investors within 15 days after the crowd offering Please note that no interest will be paid in such case.
  3. US investors, as stated in legal regulations, have to be whitelisted (a whitelisted investor is someone whose annual income is above 200,000 USD, or someone whose spouse’s annual income is above 300,000 US dollars, or someone with net asset value of over 1 million USD) in order to be considered as “qualified investors”. Without being whitelisted and qualified, an American investor is not able to participate in the token offering.
  4. Non-American investors, technically non-US investors do not require the same whitelisting procedure imposed on American investors. Nonetheless, because the American law is generally stricter. Our legal team requires non-American investors to adhere to provisions in accordance with the American laws.
