By staking ADAPAD and passing a one-time KYC process at least three hours prior to the IDO time, holders can participate in IDOs on the Cardano blockchain.

The allocation of tickets depends on the amount of ADAPAD staked, and ADAPad has several tiers:

Copper

25,000 staked

Pool weight: 5

Bronze

50,000 staked

Pool weight: 10

Silver

100,000 staked

Pool weight: 22

Gold

200,000 staked

Pool weight: 48

Furthermore, 10% of each IDO are reserved for a lottery allocation:

Stake 2,000 ADAPad - one lottery ticket

Stake 4,000 ADAPad - two lottery tickets

Stake 6,000 ADAPad - three lottery tickets

Stakers also benefit by receiving 10% of fees generated from token sales, through a tax on selling fees. 7.5% of that is redistributed in ADA, 2.5% is burned to generate a deflationary dynamic. However, holders have to wait eight weeks to unstake or be subject to a 25% fee. ADAPad sees itself as the next step in the evolution towards more cross-chain launches and aims to support the most promising teams and projects, giving them priority across their ecosystem of launchpads.

The total supply of ADAPAD is 1 billion tokens. The supply at listing was 29.5 million with a meager $0.004 price, giving ADAPAD an initial market cap of $118,000. The token distribution is as follows:

• Team 12%
• Advisors 6%
• Liquidity 15%
• Ecosystem 16%
• Reserve 5%
• Staking/Rewards 15.5%
• Private Sale 19%
• BSCPAD IDO 3%
• ETHPAD IDO 2.5%
• TRONPAD IDO 2.5%
• KCCPAD IDO 2.5%
• Airdrop 1%

The project lists no info on liquidity locking or vesting schedules. The main incentive for ADAPAD stakers to hold the token is the mentioned 7.5% redistribution in ADA from sell transactions.

ADAPAD is available as ERC-20 token on Ethereum and BEP-20 token on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). The team ensures full transparency and security in the IDO by applying KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures to IDO participants.

Ethereum is one of the most popular blockchains and its ERC-20 standard is the go-to solution for almost all tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. It is secured by a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism that requires validators to stake 32 Ether. A set of decentralized nodes validates transactions and secures the Ethereum blockchain.

BSC is secured through the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. 21 validators are elected every 24 hours to validate transactions and maintain blockchain security. These validators have to stake a certain amount of BNB coins with Binance to be eligible to do so.
