Participating in the Token Sale

This guide explains how to participate in a token sale on DeXe dApp and claim tokens according to the vesting schedule.

Prerequisites

A Web3 wallet with a sufficient balance of the accepted payment asset (e.g., USDT) and enough native tokens for network fees (BNB Chain or Ethereum). If you are participating in a private token sale, ensure that your wallet address is included in the whitelist; otherwise, you won’t be able to join the sale.

1. Navigate to the Token Sale

Open the DeXe App, locate the DAO running the Token Sale, click on it to access the profile page, or follow the provided direct link.

In the DAO Profile, select the Token Sales tab, and choose a sale you want to participate in.

2. Participating in Token Sale

Click on a sale card to open full details. Here you can review all the key information about the token sale: which token is being sold, its price, available pairs, participation limits, and current sale progress.

If the sale includes vesting, part or all of your purchased tokens may be locked for a specific period. You can view the cliff and vesting schedule directly on the sale page, and for convenience, the exact start and end times of each period are also displayed on the right panel.

Cliff: A no‑release period at the start of vesting. Once it ends, an initial chunk becomes available, and subsequent releases follow the schedule.

Vesting: A schedule that gradually makes purchased tokens available over a defined period, aligning the community with long‑term success.

Release frequency: The interval between token unlocks once vesting has started (e.g., monthly, weekly, etc.).

3. Buying a token

After you’ve reviewed all the sale details and confirmed that everything looks good, click Buy Token. Choose how many tokens you want to purchase; the system will automatically show the price and your allocation.

When you’re ready, click Approve.

Next, you’ll need to sign two transactions:

  1. Approve — allows the smart contract to use your payment asset for the exact amount you choose to spend in the token sale.

  2. Purchase — executes your token buy on-chain.

4. Claiming Tokens (Sales with Cliff & Vesting)

If the sale has a cliff and vesting, you claim tokens as they unlock.

To claim:

  1. Return to the DAO’s Token Sales tab and open the same sale.

  2. When a portion of the tokens is unlocked, click the Claim button.

  3. Confirm the claim transaction in your wallet.

If a cliff is active, no tokens can be claimed until the cliff ends.

The Next unlock timer shows when the next portion becomes claimable.

Congratulations, your tokens have been sent to your wallet. Repeat the claim process each time a new portion unlocks until the Vesting end.
