Please take a look at the list of questions we need you to answer to be listed on TrustPad: [Required pool information](/trustpad-for-projects/ido/required-pool-information.md)

### Before the sale

* we confirm the date **T0** of the sale *(11:00am UTC)*
* you [provide information](/trustpad-for-projects/ido/required-pool-information.md) and we create a pool page on [trustpad.io](https://trustpad.io)

* TPAD stakers register to participate in the IDO
* registration closes **T-6 hours** before the sale start
* we draw and announce the whitelist and lottery winners
* we calculate the base allocation (we call it **1x**), determining how much each user can invest based on their level

### During the sale

* the sale opens for the confirmed duration *(6 hours)*
* registered stakers, whitelist and lottery winners must fund their guaranteed allocation for the next **5 hours**
* **the last hour** is for the FCFS round, when the remaining pool gets sold out in 1-2 minutes
