When will the SatoPAD IDO take place? The exact date of the [SatoPAD IDO](http://localhost:3000/launchpad/public-sale) will be announced on our official channels. The best way to stay informed is by following our official social media and website. We ensure all important updates and announcements are communicated through these platforms. We encourage users to follow these channels to stay updated and avoid scams.
What are the benefits of participating in the SatoPAD IDO? Participants in the SatoPAD IDO will have early access to the $SAPI token. SatoPAD ($SAPI) is the utility token for SatoPAD. We are taking significant measures to increase its importance and function in our ecosystem by incorporating new products and exclusive features. The main benefit of holding the SAPI token is that investors can gain early access to other developing projects within the growing ecosystem of Bitcoin. To guarantee your participation in an IDO, you can go through our [tier system](https://satopad-finance.gitbook.io/satopad-finance/satopad-ecosystem-v1/launchpad/tiers) to know the exact number of tokens required. Usually, these emerging cryptocurrency projects offer SAPI investors a token valuation significantly lower than the listing price, and considering the excitement and potential surrounding the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem, it may be worthwhile to invest in these new ventures. Others ways holders of our token may benefit: * IDO Participation * Guaranteed Allocation * Fee distribution * Governance * Ecosystem discounts * Airdrops * Private Deals
Will SatoPAD organize any airdrop after their launch? Yes, SatoPAD has an exciting airdrop planned in relation to the launch of our *limited edition* [OG Pass NFTs](/satopad-finance/og-pass-nfts.md). Holders of these NFTs will be eligible for a special $SAPI token airdrop, which will occur shortly after our Token Generation Event (TGE). To determine the recipients of this airdrop, a snapshot will be taken of all OG Pass NFT holders. This snapshot will be taken at an undisclosed time to ensure fairness and authenticity in the process. The airdrop pool consists of 3% of the total $SAPI token supply, which will be distributed among OG Pass holders. The amount of $SAPI tokens each holder receives will depend on the rarity of their NFT, aligning with the tier system of the OG Pass. This means holders of rarer NFTs will receive a larger portion of the airdrop pool relative to their tier.
How does SatoPAD ensure the security of its platform and IDOs? SatoPAD employs robust security measures, including smart contract audits and a thorough vetting process for projects. We prioritize the safety of our users' investments and the integrity of the projects we support.
Can anyone participate in SatoPAD's launchpad projects? Yes, SatoPAD's launchpad is designed to be inclusive. However, participants need to hold $SAPI tokens and follow specific criteria set for each project, which are outlined on our platform.
