This article explains what an Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) is, how it works on the AX CRYPTO platform, and the main stages that project issuers and investors go through.
AX CRYPTO Launchpad is a platform that connects token issuers with investors through a transparent and secure initial digital asset offering process.
What Is AX CRYPTO Launchpad?
AX CRYPTO Launchpad enables issuers to present their projects to investors through an IEO process, while providing investors with an opportunity to participate in innovative projects in a regulated, transparent, and organised manner.
Through the Launchpad, projects can be presented to AX CRYPTO platform users with clearly defined participation terms, offering periods, digital asset prices, and distribution rules.
Key Benefits of AX CRYPTO Launchpad
Transparency and Security
The AX CRYPTO platform focuses on transparency and security throughout the entire IEO process. Issuers and investors undergo the appropriate verification procedures, while projects are analysed before being published on the platform.
Automatic Listing on the Secondary Market
Following the successful completion of the IEO process, the digital asset may be automatically listed on the secondary market, subject to predefined criteria.
This provides investors with potential liquidity and gives the project broader market access following the completion of the initial offering.
Support for Issuers and Investors
AX CRYPTO provides support to issuers and investors throughout all stages of the process—from project preparation, verification, and publication to the completion of the IEO process, distribution of the digital asset, and potential secondary-market trading.
How Does the IEO Process Work?
The IEO process on the AX CRYPTO platform consists of several stages designed to ensure that a project is properly presented, analysed, approved, and offered to investors.
Step 1: Registration and Verification
Issuers and investors must first create an account on the AX CRYPTO platform and complete the appropriate verification process.
KYC verification is conducted for individuals, while KYB verification is conducted for legal entities.
Users cannot participate in the IEO process without successfully completing the required verification.
Step 2: Project Submission
The issuer (only legal entities) submits an application for its project and provides the detailed information required for the project assessment.
This information includes a project description, a plan for the use of funds, issuer documentation, offering terms, and other relevant information.
Step 3: Project Analysis and Approval
AX CRYPTO analyses the project before it is published on the platform.
During this stage, the submitted information, documentation, offering terms, and the project’s compliance with the platform’s rules are reviewed.
Once the project receives final approval, it is published on AX CRYPTO Launchpad.
Step 4: Launch of the IEO Offering
Following approval, the project is presented to investors through AX CRYPTO Launchpad.
On the project page, investors can view essential information about the project, the digital asset, its price, the duration of the offering, fundraising targets, and other important details.
Step 5: Investor Participation
Investors (individuals and legal entities) can participate in the IEO process by purchasing or reserving digital assets through their trading wallet on the AX CRYPTO platform.
During the IEO process, investors’ funds are reserved in accordance with the offering rules.
Step 6: Distribution of Digital Assets
Following the successful completion of the IEO process, AX CRYPTO distributes the digital assets to the investors’ trading wallets.
At the same time, the funds raised are transferred to the project issuer in accordance with the defined rules of the IEO process.
If the IEO process is unsuccessful, the reserved funds are released and returned to investors in accordance with the offering rules.
Step 7: Secondary-Market Trading
Following the successful completion of the IEO process, the digital asset may be listed on the secondary market, provided that the predefined criteria have been met.
This enables users to trade the digital asset on the AX CRYPTO platform after the initial offering has been completed.
Visual Overview of the IEO Process
The IEO process can be presented through the following stages:
Registration and verification → Project submission → Analysis and approval → Launch of the IEO offering → Investor participation → Distribution of digital assets → Secondary-market trading
Note
Participation in the IEO process requires users to review all available information about the project, the offering terms, the associated risks, and the rules of the AX CRYPTO platform.
Before deciding to participate, users should carefully read the available documentation and understand the characteristics of the digital asset that is the subject of the IEO offering.
