ICO meaning: what is an initial coin offering?
ICO means initial coin offering: a project offers digital tokens to raise funds. The token rights, delivery conditions and legal treatment depend on the specific offering; the label ICO does not establish regulatory approval.
How does an ICO work?
An issuer publishes terms and may accept payments in exchange for a future or immediate token allocation. Before participating, verify the issuer, accepted network, contract address, price, allocation and refund conditions in the official documentation.
ICO, IDO and IEO
An IDO generally refers to an offering using decentralized exchange infrastructure. An IEO uses a centralized exchange platform. These distribution labels do not remove issuer, technical, liquidity or legal risks. Gold Mining is not described here as an IDO.
Delivery and risk
Read the token release and vesting schedule. A presale allocation may not be transferable immediately. You can lose the entire amount committed, and neither a presale nor an exchange listing guarantees a secondary market or returns.
