Hello and welcome to APIS Platform! We would like to thank you for your continued interest to the APIS token sales events. With the presale closed, only the general crowdsale remains. Like the presale, the crowdsale will be concluded upon exhaustion of all tokens available for sale.

  • ICO cap: 620,000Qtum(or Ethereum equivalent) = 3,100,000,000APIS
  • Token Price: 1 ETH=168,000 APIS, 1 QTUM=5,000 APIS
  • Time: 17:00(UTC+8, Singapore time) 4 March 2018
  • Five last digits of smart contract addresses(one in ETH, one in QTUM)will be disclosed TWO HOURS PRIOR to the crowdsale start-time by APIS CEO Ronny Yoo, similar to how it was done during the presale.
  • DO NOT SEND FROM EXCHANGES!! You will not get any tokens for ETH or QTUM sent from exchanges and we will not be held liable.
  • Those who did not go through our KYC must submit their application in order to claim/transfer their tokens. You can participate first then go through the KYC process. We will provide a guide for KYC soon.
