> An  Initial DEX Offering (IDO) is a token sale event that occurs directly on a decentralized exchange (DEX). It offers participants the opportunity to purchase newly issued tokens using the exchange's native token. IDOs provide a decentralized and inclusive approach to token issuance, attracting investors and ensuring fair distribution. They enable early access to promising projects and participation in the decentralized finance ecosystem.

### Notes

Tokens that are locked cannot participate. If you don't have the token, please check if your mining pool has released your staked tokens.

### Claiming Rules

After the token sale is completed, you can claim any IDO assets you've purchased. Any unused tokens will be refunded.
