More and more projects choose to attract financing through token sale mechanics. While this is definitely great and very much decentralized way to build initial capital, often it requires a lot of effort and budget to organize. Much part of budget goes into designing, testing and auditing Ethereum smart-contracts which are responsible for ETH flow during the sale.
In retrospective, there were a lot of projects failed or severely spoiled their token sales because of bad smart-contracts design. Specifically, small sales with restricted budget often don’t have enough resources to attract top developers and auditors.
In today’s use case we’ll demonstrate how token sale can be organized via BCShop.io platform with no coding involved and zero budget for smart-contract creators and auditors. We find this approach especially effective for small companies as it offers out-of-the-box solution which is built on smart-contracts already audited by SmartDec.
We’ll start this use case from the moment you issued project tokens, defined token metrics, token sale dates, price and amount to be sold and are ready to the sale itself.
Get access to the platform
Go to https://bcshop.io website and click “Dashboard”.
