How to join a token sale on Mantle
Joining a token sale on Mantle means using the project’s sale page, funding a compatible wallet, checking the rules and claiming tokens after the sale.
To join a token sale on Mantle, use the project’s official sale page and follow its steps with a wallet connected to Mantle. The project sets the terms: which payment tokens it accepts, who can take part, and how buyers receive their tokens.
Some sales run through a launchpad, a platform that hosts token sales; others use a page built by the project itself. Moving funds from Ethereum to Mantle may involve a bridge, which transfers assets between networks. For more on that step, see this mantle bridge explainer. You need funds on the network and in the form the sale accepts.
What should I check before joining a Mantle token sale?
Start with the project’s own website or verified social channels, and follow their link to the sale page. Check the sale’s start and end times, accepted payment token, minimum and maximum purchase, and whether you need to register or pass identity checks. These details vary by sale, so a wallet being connected to Mantle does not guarantee you can take part.
Read how the sale allocates tokens. Some sales accept purchases until a cap is reached; others use a queue, a whitelist (an approved list of buyers), or a lottery. If demand is higher than the available supply, you may receive less than you requested or nothing at all.
How do I prepare my wallet and funds?
Use a wallet you control, set it to Mantle, and keep enough of the network’s gas token to pay transaction fees. Gas is the fee for processing an onchain action. Before sending funds, confirm the sale accepts the asset you plan to use and that it is already on Mantle. If your funds are on Ethereum, moving them over may take extra time and incur fees.
- Open the sale page from a project channel you have checked independently.
- Connect your wallet and complete any registration or eligibility steps.
- Enter an amount within the sale’s limits and check the payment asset and fees.
- Review the wallet’s transaction details before approving or signing.
A wallet may ask you to approve a token before it can take payment. Check the asset and amount in that request. Never share your recovery phrase, and don’t sign a transaction you cannot understand.
When do I receive the tokens?
After payment, check the sale page for a confirmation and save the transaction record. The project’s rules will say whether tokens arrive automatically or need to be claimed in a later transaction. They should also state whether tokens are released at once or over time. A vesting schedule releases tokens in parts, so the amount available to move or sell may be smaller than the purchase total.
Keep the sale page’s claim dates and instructions. If a transaction appears pending, check its status in a block explorer before trying again; repeating it could create a second payment. Joining a sale is a sequence of checks and transactions, and the project’s published rules determine what you receive and when.
