The crypto market is getting back into business, after being down for more than a year after the last bear market.
This means that alongside all-time crypto highs and ridiculously-priced NFTs, new ways of making an income from the market will start to return.
In this article, we will be going over what is known as IDOs, or Initial DEX Offerings.
We will be explaining what IDOs are, everything you should know about them, and some of the most common rookie mistakes to avoid when hunting, participating and taking profit from them.
Without further ado, here's what we have.
It is easy to confuse IDOs with other kinds of initial coin offerings.
For example, just like IDOs, ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) and IEOs (Initial Exchange Offerings), are traditional ways by which companies find ways to raise money, by selling their newly launched tokens to the public before official launch.
However, the major difference to keep in mind is that while ICOS and IEOs concern other kinds of companies, Initial Dex Offerings are exclusive to Decentralized Exchanges, or DEXs.
Moreover, ICOs and IEOs have several disadvantages including:
Initial Dex Offerings take the upper hand over ICOs and IDOs though, because due to the decentralized and trustless nature of the sales:
IDOs as we mentioned earlier, are lucrative and relatively safer.
Moreover, they can also potentially rally significantly after the official launch. However, we're talking about the crypto market here. This means that the idea of "zero risk' simply doesn't exist.
Initial Dex Offerings can be very risky if care isn't taken. They can be subject to strong volatility, competition and overall uncertainty.
This means that it is important to do your own research when hunting for, assessing and participating in Initial Dex Offerings.
Here are some tips to consider:
To find IDOs, you can simply follow these sources
Decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, SushiSwap, PancakeSwap, and others are popular places for hunting IDOs. Check out the launchpad sections or specific Initial Dex Offering sites for these platforms.
You can find some IDOs by visiting Twitter and Reddit (e.g., r/Cryptocurrency). These sites are teeming with crypto discussions and can turn up one or two leads
There are a few websites and platforms, dedicated to providing a schedule of forthcoming token sales and IDOs. Some of them include Crypto Rank, Coin Gecko, CoinMarketCap, and more.
You can also check out token communities on Twitter, Discord and even Telegram for some of the hottest Initial Dex Offerings.
So you have found an IDO you're confident about, and you want to jump in.
To participate safely and (hopefully) profit from it, here are a few tips to consider:
Initial Dex Offerings are a new and interesting alternative to ICOs and IEOs.
However, before taking part in any Initial Dex Offerings, you should do your own research and only invest what you can afford to lose.
The crypto market can be quite dangerous and speculative, and it is important to watch out for scams, follow rules and avoid greed.
