Kommunitas is recognized in the Web3 space as a decentralized, community-driven launchpad that serves as a platform for new blockchain projects to conduct our initial token offerings, known as Initial KOMmunity Offerings (IKOs). It has positioned itself as a go-to venue for retail investors seeking access to promising early-stage projects. The process of acquiring new coins through an IKO on Kommunitas follows a structured, multi-step approach that rewards dedicated community members.
How to Find New Coins
Kommunitas’s model is designed to provide retail investors with opportunities that are often limited to larger venture capitalists or private funds. By utilizing a tierless system based on the native KOM token staking, the platform aims to make project fundraising accessible and transparent. This structure allows participants to find and invest in new projects before they are widely available on public exchanges.
The platform distinguishes itself by operating on a multi-chain ecosystem and implementing a refundable policy for select project offerings, providing an added layer of security for participants if the token’s price falls significantly post-listing.
Type of Kommunitas IKO
To give our community a clear path for every investment, Kommunitas has developed three distinct tiers for our Initial KOMmunity Offerings (IKOs): Priority, Secure, and Exclusive. Each tier is crafted to serve different project needs while maintaining our commitment to investor protection, but they differ significantly in their criteria and refund mechanisms.
Priority IKO: Investor protection is primarily through strict pre-launch criteria and a long-term price guarantee/refund policy tied to the token's performance up to 50% vesting.
Secure IKO: Investor protection is provided through a short-term, no-questions-asked refund option (1-3 days) immediately after the token's listing, giving the investor a chance to evaluate the initial TGE market action.
Exclusive IKO: Investor protection is similar to Secure IKO but with a more flexible refund period (1-3 days) to accommodate elite projects, still granting the investor a short decision window post-listing.
Step-by-Step Guide to Participating in an IKO
The participation process centers around securing an allocation based on your commitment to the Kommunitas ecosystem.
Phase 1: Preparation and Securing Allocation
Acquire the Native Token ($KOM):
The first fundamental step is to acquire $KOM tokens. This token is the gateway to participation and is traded on various centralized and decentralized exchanges. You typically purchase $KOM using a stablecoin like USDT.
Establish a Digital Wallet:
You must set up a self-custody crypto wallet (like OKX, Rabby, or MetaMask) that is compatible with the blockchain network Kommunitas operates on (such as Polygon or BNB Smart Chain). This wallet will be used to interact with the platform and store your newly purchased tokens.
Stake $KOM for KOMV (Guaranteed Access):
To earn a guaranteed allocation in the most IKO rounds, you need to stake your $KOM tokens on the platform. Staking minimum 10,000 $KOM grants you KOMV (KOM Voting Power), which determines your tier and the size of your potential purchase allocation. The more $KOM that you staked, the greater your guaranteed allocation will be.
Prepare Purchase Capital and Fees:
Ensure your connected wallet holds the designated currency for the IKO. Kommunitas supports a wide range of Web3.0 projects, including GameFi, DeFi, Protocols, and Layer 2s from multiple blockchains (Polygon, BSC, Ethereum, Solana, etc.).Currently, the accepted currencies for an IKO are:
USDT (Polygon)
USDT (BSC)
USDT (Arbitrum)
Phase 2: Purchasing the New Coin
Monitor the Launchpad:
Track the specific IKO on the Kommunitas Crypto Launchpad. Note the sale schedule, especially the start times for the various Booster rounds.
Participate in the IKO Rounds:
Kommunitas often uses multiple "Booster" rounds, each with different requirements and allocation guarantees:
Booster 1 (Guaranteed Allocation): Typically for the highest stakers/voters. Your allocation is proportional to your staked $KOM.
Booster 2 (Guaranteed Allocation): Often for other voters, with allocation determined by unsold tokens from Booster 1.
Booster 3 (First-Come, First-Served - FCFS): A round for all stakers (e.g., minimum 100 $KOM stake) where speed is key.
Booster 4 (Community Round): Sometimes open to everyone (stakers and non-stakers) on an FCFS basis, but often with a small non-refundable fee.
Execute the Purchase:
Connect your verified wallet to the launchpad, if you want to buy a new coin just enter the amount you wish to purchase (up to your allocation limit), and confirm the transaction. Pay close attention to your gas fee settings to ensure the transaction is processed quickly.
Phase 3: Token Claim and Post-Sale
Claim Your Tokens (TGE):
Following the Token Generation Event (TGE) and the token's listing on public exchanges, a claiming period will begin.
You must return to the official Kommunitas platform to connect your wallet and execute the transaction to claim the first released portion of your tokens, adhering to the project's vesting schedule. The remaining tokens will be released over a predetermined period.
By following this disciplined approach, investors can effectively use the Kommunitas platform to gain early access to new tokens launched through its Initial KOMmunity Offering model.
