Date of Launch

Easy

A term used for when ICOs will put up their tokens for sale.

What Is Date of Launch?

An initial coin offering (ICO) is a type of funding campaign used when launching cryptocurrency coins or tokens. During an ICO, the development team behind a new cryptoasset announces that it will sell a certain amount of its asset to investors, which serves a dual purpose: to distribute the cryptocurrency among potential future users (who are interested in it enough to pay for participation) and to fund further development and marketing of the asset.
The date of launch is just one part of any ICO campaign: it is a point at which the sale of the asset to the general public begins. It is usually preceded by several months of intense preparation and, sometimes, one or more private sale rounds that distribute a smaller amount of the asset among a group of select investors.

Prior to starting the sale, the development team needs to design at least the basic technology behind their cryptoasset, ensure necessary legal compliance, develop a distribution plan and write and publish all the relevant documentation and much more.

This is why the date of launch is usually known to the public well in advance: to give the developers the opportunity to work with the community feedback and to provide time for a comprehensive marketing campaign to hype up the ICO.
