Fantom Crowdsale Participation Guide

Your ETH Address MUST be an ERC-20 compatible wallet. Do not send from an exchange or smart contract. Failure to do so may result in token loss.

Please contribute ONLY to the address linked to on the Fantom Foundation website (https://fantom.foundation). The text “address” will link to the Crowdsale contract address and source code on Etherscan. THIS IS THE ONLY OFFICIAL FANTOM FOUNDATION WEBSITE.

FANTOM WILL NEVER POST AN ETH ADDRESS ANYWHERE ELSE (except here). TELEGRAM ADMINS, EMAILS, OR OTHER MESSAGES PURPORTING TO SHOW THE CROWDSALE CONTRACT ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

• Crowdsale commences 15 June 2018, 9am GMT + 0.
• Only whitelisted addresses from participants who have passed AML/KYC and have their ETH addresses inside the Crowdsale contract will be able to participate. To check if your ETH address has been whitelisted, please check this guide here.
• Take your time. The contribution cap for each whitelisted address is 1.692294656 ETH in the first 24 hours. The minimum contribution is 0.2 ETH After 24 hours, the contribution cap is lifted, meaning all remaining FTM will be sold at a first come, first serve basis.
• The Crowdsale will conclude when all FTM tokens are sold, or after 22 June 2018, 9am GMT + 0, whichever occurs first.
• Unsold tokens will not be issued, which will simply reduce the total supply.
• Tokens will be locked until they are unlocked at FANTOM’s discretion.
• Recommended gas limit: 200,000
• gas price: During the first 24 hours, submitting a transaction with a reasonable gas price should ensure the transaction gets through. After the cap is lifted, please refer to https://ethgasstation.info/ for an appropriate gas price to set.
• 2551 whitelisted addresses in total.
• Due to a recent fall in the ETH Price, and the relatively low number of lottery winners who successfully passed AML and KYC checks, the 24 hour cap has been increased to 1.692294656 ETH.
• 1 ETH = 11582 FTM.
• The most recent 13 June, 4pm GMT + 0 opening ETH price in USD before the deployment of the smart contract is USD$463.28. This can be confirmed by searching for 1528905600 (13 June 2018, 4pm GMT + 0 timestamp in unix time) at this link here.

How to Contribute

To contribute, please send a transaction to the Crowdsale contract address from 15 June 2018, 9am GMT + 0 using any Ethereum wallet client you like.

Examples include: MyEtherWallet (MEW), Parity, Mist and Metamask.

We recommend you set the following parameters accordingly:

Note that if you send a transaction earlier than that time, it will rejected by the smart contract and your ETH will be refunded, minus any gas costs.
