Initial Dex Offering (IDO)
A crowdfunding strategy, in which an up and coming cryptocurrency project launches their tokens or coins, through the advent of a decentralized exchange. Project investors, and aspiring funders in this offering, are given the new crypto currency, and in return for being given these crypto assets, lock up their funds into a smart contract on the new project’s blockchain, which are put in these contracts, at the time of the project’s release to the general public. It is generally considered to be the safest and most secure form of crowdfunding, when compared to ICO’s.
