The whitelisting for OpenOcean IDO on Polkastarter has closed on May 21th, 2021, 12:00 PM UTC. The amount of support and whitelisting applications have been overwhelming and we would like to say thank you to all who participated. This also means that we will start processing the applications for next steps.

Next steps

  • All whitelisting submissions will be sent to Polkastarter and verified for POLS holdings, valid BEP-20 addresses, Telegram and Twitter, and other requirements stated by Polkastarter and OpenOcean.
  • We will run a lottery and generate a list of qualified IDO users that can participate.
  • Approved participants will receive an email from contact@openocean.finance. Make sure to check your email inbox and junk folder.
  • Upon receiving the email, whitelisted participants have 48 hours to pass the KYC process.
  • After the KYC process, we will notify you of the KYC result and IDO start date through email.

Please Note

  1. Winning a spot from whitelisting won’t guarantee you a spot in the IDO. You need to show up within a timeframe with funds ready to participate in IDO as the pool type of IDO on Polkastarter is FCFS (First Come First Serve).
  2. Unfortunately, participants from countries that are excluded by our initial KYC criteria (see below) aren’t eligible to participate in the IDO. In case you don’t pass KYC due to exclusion criteria, your IDO spots will be revoked during next steps.
  3. OpenOcean reserves the right to cancel or amend any Activity or Activity Rules at our sole discretion.
