We are proud to announce Shadows Initial Decentralized Exchange Offering (IDO) on Ignition Launchpad starts on Tuesday, March 2, 2021, 2PM GMT.

There will be a limited supply of 1,000,000 tokens for purchase on Ignition at a fixed price of $0.125 per $DOWS token on a first-come, first-serve basis to confirmed whitelist participants.

Congratulations to all our lucky lottery ticket holders!

We got tremendous support from both the PAID and Shadows community. When the Shadows whitelist lottery was closed we got a total of 20,468 valid lottery tickets, which we randomly drew winners from. From the 20k+ lottery entries we were able to pick out 496 lucky winning lottery tickets! The holders of these 496 tickets will now have access to the Shadows IDO on Tuesday, March 2, 2021.

Shadows IDO on IGNITION FAQ

Shadows is the first IDO to launch on the PAID Ignition platform and with it the premier use of the Ignition token incentive mechanism. We want everyone to be able to successfully participate in the exclusive Shadows IDO on Ignition on Tuesday, March 2, 2021, so here are a few things $PAID token holders should remember:

  1. Make sure to sign-up on the Ignition Platform before the actual IDO
  2. $PAID tokens still under locked status under Seed round A or B will not be counted towards your lottery entries — the team will only be counting liquid $PAID tokens, in your wallet.
    ex. If your wallet has 5,000 $PAID tokens, but only 2,000 of these $PAID tokens are liquid, with the other 3,000 $PAID tokens still locked, you will only be allowed 2 lottery entries.
  3. The moment the Whitelist lottery is closed, a snapshot of your wallet will be taken. This is to document the number of valid $PAID tokens you have for the lottery. This will be the basis for the number of lottery tickets you will be given.
  4. Your wallet must HODL at least the same amount of $PAID tokens from whitelist closing, until the end of the actual IDO. Should the amount of valid $PAID tokens drop, your entry may become invalid. You are welcome to add more $PAID tokens during this period, but not deduct from the number held.
  5. You are encouraged to continue HODLing your tokens. Whitelist opportunities will appear on Ignition all the time, don’t miss out, HODL those $PAID tokens.
  6. If you reach the Galaxy tier with 75,000+ tokens you will be automatically given a guaranteed allocation. You will be guaranteed one (1) allocation for every 75,000 $PAID tokens in your wallet.
  7. The Shadows IDO on Ignition, does not have a private sale, Cosmos tier entries will instead be given two (2) guaranteed allocations — one (1) guaranteed allocation for every 75k in your wallet.
  8. There will be two (2) pools for the Shadows IDO on Ignition:

- The Galaxy Pool: for entries with 75,000+ $PAID tokens. — Those with guaranteed allocations, will be given 1 hour to secure their automatic guaranteed allotment (one (1) allotment for every 75k $PAID tokens). Failure to enter this pool within the time given, will forfeit the guaranteed allotment for the Galaxy tier. It is important to note that if you are given another allocation through the whitelist lottery, you will have to enter the Shadows IDO Moon Pool, to redeem those allocations.

- The Moon Pool: for those who have won allotments through the whitelist lottery, one (1) lottery ticket for every 1,000 $PAID tokens. This pool will open after the Galaxy pool closes — all allotments in the Shadows IDO Moon pool are available on a first-come-first-serve (FCFS) basis.

FAQs, and the instructions above, are also available in our PAID help center’s knowledge base which you can access here. We’ll be doing our best to have answers to all of your questions as well as instructions on using the Ignition platform there for your convenience, so make sure to bookmark it!
