ICO Details
Based on a sponsored article on CCN.com, they are giving away 55 percent of all PAX token to investors and the MADANA community. And as the first Lisk token, the MADANA team decided to give every Pre-Sale contribution in LSK a 10% bonus in PAX. This is on top of the reduced Pre-Sale price of 0,50€ per PAX token. The Main Sale will be held in 2019 for a token price of 1,00€ per PAX. To enable more people to participate in the Pre-Sale, MADANA set the minimum amount to be purchased to an equivalent of only 100 Euro.

According to MADANA’s blog, the MADANA pioneers had gone on a Summer Roadshow in Russia and Southeast Asia during the summer of 2018 to present their ideas as well as educate the different communities about Lisk, MADANAs vision and the technology behind it.
