Genesis — ‘The First Life’: Day 4/7 🔥

Yesterday we discussed the ways in which Genpad will supercharge project growth. ⚡️

Today we explore upstream IDO partners for Genpad.

Genpad’s strategic IDO partners will open up a sea of possibilities 🌊 for projects to conduct an upstream IDO launch

A brand new concept — the pre-IDO launch 🀄️

Most of you will be used to projects conducting public launches via IDOs, through certain launchpad platforms. Genpad is unique in the sense that it enables a pre-IDO launch, even before the tokens have been listed on the open market.

Pre-IDO launch on NFTs 🔥

Genpad is the first of its kind ‘pre-IDO’ launchpad — the launch will be that of ‘pre-IDO’ tokens wrapped in GenTicket NFTs. These can be either

  • Traded on the open market (on an NFT exchange such as OpenSea) 📈 or
  • Redeemed for project tokens after IDO (on a GenShards platform) 🔄

So after we enable the pre-IDO launch, what about the IDO ?

IDO partners — the first cohort 🚀

As the leading pre-IDO launchpad in DeFi, Genpad has vertical integrations with some of the most well known IDO launchpad platforms .

Projects launching on Genpad will have access to these launchpad platforms upstream for their IDO token launch event.

We are excited to introduce the first cohort of Genpad IDO partners !
