IDO
An IDO (Initial DEX Offering) launches a token directly on a decentralized exchange — liquidity pool created, trading open to anyone instantly, no gatekeep
An IDO (Initial DEX Offering) launches a token directly on a decentralized exchange — liquidity pool created, trading open to anyone instantly, no gatekeepers. Fairer access than ICO-era whitelists, but the same insider dynamics underneath.
Why it matters
IDOs democratized *access* without democratizing *information*: teams and early backers still position beforehand, bots snipe the opening blocks, and retail still buys the top of the launch candle. Treat every IDO as a professional rigged casino where you’re welcome to play — with size discipline and instant skepticism toward day-one charts.
