Participate in MicroSale
Participating in a MicroSale is simple and secure. This guide covers everything from finding sales to claiming your tokens.
Finding MicroSales
Browse all active and upcoming MicroSales at https://www.cheesepad.ai/microsale. The list page shows:
- Token name and symbol
- Project description
- Current progress (amount raised vs. hardcap)
- Sale status (Upcoming, In Progress, Success, Listed, Cancelled)
- KYC/Audit badges if applicable
Use the search bar to filter by token name or symbol.
Understanding sale status
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Upcoming | Sale hasn't started yet. Prepare your funds. |
| In Progress | Sale is live! You can purchase tokens. |
| Success | Hard cap reached. Awaiting finalization by the owner (or an authorized governor). |
| Listed | Sale finalized and liquidity added on DEX. Claim your tokens. |
| Cancelled | Sale was cancelled. Withdraw your contribution. |
| Ended | Sale timer ended without reaching the hard cap. Finalize is not available; the owner/governor may cancel to enable refunds. |
Purchasing tokens
Step 1: Connect your wallet
Click Connect Wallet and select your preferred wallet. Ensure you're on the correct network (e.g., BNB Chain, Ethereum).
Step 2: Navigate to the sale
Click on a MicroSale card or use a direct link to access the sale detail page.
Step 3: Enter your contribution
In the purchase form:
- Enter the amount of native currency (e.g., BNB) you wish to contribute.
- Click Max to contribute the maximum allowed amount.
- Review the estimated token amount you'll receive.
The purchase form shows your personal limit based on:
- Max contribution per wallet (set by owner)
- Remaining hardcap
- Your current balance
Step 4: Confirm the transaction
Click the purchase button (e.g., Purchase using BNB). Confirm the transaction in your wallet. Wait for blockchain confirmation.
Step 5: Track your contribution
After purchasing, the sale page displays:
- Your total contribution
- Estimated tokens to receive
- Number of contributors (click to view the full list)
Token pricing
MicroSale uses two rates:
| Rate | Description |
|---|---|
| Presale Rate | Tokens per 1 native currency during the sale |
| Listing Rate | Tokens per 1 native currency when listed on DEX |
The presale rate is typically more favorable than the listing rate, rewarding early contributors.
After the sale
If sale is successful
- Wait for finalization — The owner (or an authorized governor) finalizes the sale.
- Liquidity added — Funds are added to the DEX liquidity pool.
- LP sent to burn (0x0) — LP tokens are minted and immediately burned by sending to the zero address.
- Claim tokens — A claim button appears on the sale page.
Claiming your tokens
Once the sale is finalized and listed:
- Return to the sale page.
- Click the Claim button showing your token amount.
- Confirm the transaction.
- Tokens are transferred to your wallet.
You can only claim once. The button will show "Claimed" after successful claim.
If sale is cancelled
If the owner (or an authorized governor) cancels the sale:
- Return to the sale page.
- Click Withdraw to retrieve your contribution.
- Confirm the transaction.
- Native currency is returned to your wallet.
Early exit
If the sale is still in progress and you need to withdraw your contribution early:
- An Early Exit button will appear on the sale page.
- This allows you to withdraw your contribution before the sale ends.
- A 10% early-exit fee will be deducted from your contribution.
Early Exit applies a 10% penalty fee. If you don't want to pay this fee, wait until the presale ends and use the normal withdraw option instead.
Viewing contributors
Click on the contributor count to open a modal showing:
