The organizational ecosystem, including the mission-driven, for-profit, and not-for-profit organizations, relies on fundraising methods to accomplish their goals. However, there were instances where these organizations hadn’t tasted the success they were hoping to achieve. The reason might be jump-on-to-the-bandwagon urges without optimizing the fundraising process.
This article talks about one such optimization concept in the form of developing an Initial Dex offering (IDO). But then, that begs this question:
What Exactly is an Initial Dex Offering(IDO)?
An initial DEX offering, or IDO, is a decentralized and permissionless concept that revolutionizes the fundraising ecosystem. When a project launches an IDO, it means the enlistment of coins/tokens on a decentralized liquidity exchange. It is a Cryptocurrency asset exchange that uses liquidity pools to trade tokens such as Cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. USDT/ETH, for example, is a liquidity pair. The investors can never own any equity (in the project/business), unlike an Initial Public Offering (IPO).
The Inception of No-compromise Vetting
People aren’t engaging physically anymore; due to the pandemic, they’ve found online ways to connect, communicate, and engage. As a result, digital mediums have become a viable alternative to fundraising campaigns. While investors spend hours assessing the company and the proposed project, it’s also quintessential for entrepreneurs (project owners) to give due diligence to potential investors.
In one way, Initial Dex Offering is a digital ecosystem that plays a crucial role in ensuring the healthy cap table. One of the key focuses of IDO development services is to bestow projects with avant-garde vetting procedures, from seed to listing. The project owners can hand-pick the investors they wish to draw capital (from), drafting help from the data analytics dashboard.
As a result, it's critical to select reputable launchpad platforms that include anti-scam screening and Know Your Customer (KYC) checks. Some even supply marketing assistance similar to that provided by centralized competitors. Of course, as an investor, one should look into a project's tokenomics and security as well.
Initial Dex Offering - Instituting The Desperate Need
Many companies aimed to solve problems using the blockchain when ICOs and token sales became popular in 2017. While several have continued to prosper, much more have failed. It's difficult to deny that ICOs have several flaws: centralized and fragile. Third-party discrimination, vulnerability to theft and human error, and a lack of privacy are prominent flaws of ICOs.
The ICO market drew interest and money because of the simplicity with which people could invest, but the absence of regulation and restrictions also contributed to an increase in the number of scammers. When investors became aware of the issue, they began to contact regulators and sue token dealers and individuals who advertised these ventures. According to a survey conducted by Satis Group LLC, more than 80% of all token sales in the ICO sector in 2018 were scams.
A token listed on a DEX does not guarantee that its price will rise. Flow from the Dapper Labs project is now the most profitable IDO. Its value increased 433 times from the moment it was first placed. IDO isn't just for DeFi businesses. For example, the cryptocurrency payment startup CoinsPaid raised x5 in 2020, allowing it to process 5% of all bitcoin network transactions.
Removing The Common Fundraising Barriers
When someone has seen, heard, or read enough about your cause and wants to help, they should be able to donate from anywhere at any time. Cash and cheques are excellent, but with the focus on getting virtual during the pandemic, the appropriate online fundraising tools may dynamically expand your reach, reduce barriers to contributing, and boost data collecting to assist in optimizing opportunities.
Additional techniques that remove obstacles to giving include text-to-donate, peer-to-peer fundraising, and online auctions. Text-to-contribute takes advantage of the Initial Dex Offering development to simplify Investors’ quest to donate/invest from anywhere at any time. Peer-to-peer fundraising allows fans to help you raise donations while also promoting your cause. Online auctions are simple to set up, allow for limitless participation, and encourage more bidding to boost overall fundraising and data collection.
Summary
As Initial Dex Offering (IDO) continues to optimize the fundraising ecosystem, a well-defined fundraising plan is quintessential to effectively managing the business architecture. I hope you perceive that!
