How to Get Whitelisted for an IKO on Kommunitas

IKO April 13, 2026

By Priyo Harjiyono

In the decentralized world of Kommunitas, "Whitelisting" isn't a mysterious lottery reserved for the lucky few. Whether you are a long-term $KOM staker or a newcomer joining via a marketing campaign, our system ensures that every participant has a transparent path to early-stage project allocations.

There are two primary ways to secure your spot in an Initial KOMmunity Offering (IKO).

Method 1: The Staking Route (Guaranteed Allocation)

Kommunitas pioneered the Tier-less Model. This means that if you stake $KOM, you are effectively "Whitelisted" by the smart contract automatically.

1. Stake your $KOM

To be eligible for the Booster 1 (the first and most prioritized round), you must stake a minimum of 3,000 $KOM.

2. Cast Your Vote

This is the most critical step. To activate your whitelist spot for a specific project, you must navigate to that project on the Launchpad and click "Vote." * Live Launchpad Link: https://kommunitas.net/launchpad

  • Why Vote? It’s a zero-fee on-chain signature that tells the system you intend to buy. This calculates your guaranteed share of the pool.

Method 2: The Whitelist Competition (For New Users)

For those who are not yet staking or want to increase their allocation, we frequently host Whitelist Competitions via Galxe.

1. Complete Social Quests

We partner with projects to host quests that include following official socials, joining Discord, and spreading the word.

2. Winner Selection

If you win a spot in a competition, your wallet address is manually added to the Booster 1 Whitelist. You do not need to stake the 3,000 $KOM minimum to participate in that specific IKO if you are a competition winner.

IKO Day: How to Participate

Once you have secured your whitelist spot (via voting or winning), follow these steps on the day of the sale:

  1. Preparation Period: Visit the Launchpad 1–2 hours before the sale to check your calculated allocation.

  2. Booster 1 Round: The sale typically starts at 09:00 AM UTC. This round is exclusive to:

    • $KOM Stakers (3,000+ $KOM) who voted.

    • Whitelist Competition winners.

  3. Currency: Ensure you have USDC or USDT (depending on the project's network—usually Polygon, BSC, or Arbitrum) and native tokens for gas (e.g., POL or BNB).
