# Launch Timeline Explained By [Lynex ](https://paragraph.com/@lynex) · 2024-02-08 --- As the countdown to Lynex’s eagerly awaited launch ticks away, we are excited to share the intricacies of our meticulously curated launch strategy, designed to make a splash in the DeFi world. Our series of Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs) across esteemed launchpad partners like Decubate and DAOMaker signifies our strategic initiative to integrate Lynex within these vibrant communities. To further celebrate our journey and acknowledge the unwavering support of our early backers, we are thrilled to announce an exclusive public sale on the Lynex platform itself. **Here’s the details of our IDOs** ================================== ### **DAOMaker** * **Dates:** 7th February, 12UTC to 14th February * **Total Allocation:** $350,000 * **Price:** $0.06 * **Vesting:** 20% at TGE, then 20% per month * [Discover more on the DAOMaker IDO page](https://app.daomaker.com/project/hk9D1dBDqS) ### **Decubate** * **Dates:** 12th February, 11UTC to 14th February * **Total Allocation:** $250,000 * **Price:** $0.06 * **Vesting:** 20% at TGE, then 20% per month * [Delve into the Decubate IDO details](https://platform.decubate.com/project/lynex) ### **Lynex** * **Dates:** 12th February, 11UTC to 14th February * **Total Allocation:** $50,000 * **Raise Token:** USDC * **Price:** $0.06 * **Vesting:** 25% at TGE, 25% locked in veLYNX (6-month duration), 25% locked in veLYNX (12-month duration) & 25% locked in veLYNX (24-month duration) We’re excited to host an exclusive IDO sale directly on our website, specially tailored for our dedicated community. This initiative underscores our commitment to inclusivity, offering our steadfast supporters the opportunity to participate without the prerequisite of holding specific launchpad tokens. ### **Timing** The sale kicks off simultaneously with Decubate, set for the 12th of February at 11UTC. Structured in two distinct phases, the sale will unfold as follows: * **Whitelist (WL) Round:** A dedicated 12-hour window exclusively for our early supporters with WL, ensuring they get priority access. * **Public Round:** Following the WL round, this phase opens up to the broader community, operating on a first-come, first-served basis. ### **Allocation and Vesting** As mentioned before, this sale is exclusive, with a carefully allocated $50,000. The limited nature of this allocation stems from our commitment to balance our resources, giving priority to our launchpad partners. Distinctively, our vesting schedule sets us apart, potentially offering an edge over traditional launchpad sales. While launchpad sales typically release 20% at TGE followed by monthly distributions, our structure is a balanced 25/25/25/25 split: * 25% available at TGE * 25% locked in veLYNX (6-month duration) * 25% locked in veLYNX (12-month duration) * 25% locked in veLYNX (24-month duration) This innovative approach ensures participants can claim their entire allocation at launch — 25% in liquid tokens and 75% as veLYNX. This unique distribution not only secures your investment but also empowers you with veLYNX’s voting capabilities for weekly gauges, offering a share in trading fees and bribe rewards.

This phase marks the start of rewards and bribes flowing throughout the Lynex ecosystem, with selected protocols receiving their veLYNX allocations and sparking the excitement. ### **Community Airdrop** The community airdrops will occur in Late February! A claim portal will be launched, and we will start to welcome eligible community members from Thena, Velodrome, Aerodrome, Retro, Equalizer, and Ramses into the Lynex ecosystem. ### **Partner Integrations** Over this launch period, we’ll continue laying the groundwork for a series of robust partner integrations, set to elevate the Lynex experience to unprecedented levels.
