Polkapad’s focus is fairness for all participants. The fairness features include a regressive allocation model, which favors newcomers and middle-sized tickets; dynamic staking; guaranteed allocations, etc. Please read our Whitepaper for more.

When will the first IDOs appear on Polkapad?

The first IDOs are up for listing in Q4 2022. Please follow Polkapad’s announcements to keep yourselves updated!
