Due to the overwhelming participation during the BENQI public sale registrations, we expect the public sale to be highly competitive. In preparation of the public sale on 28th April 2021, 9am Pacific Time, we would like to outline the steps to participate:
Sale Time:
- Public A and Public B rounds — April 28, 09:00 Pacific Time
Purchaser Limits:
- Public A — $500 min; $5,000 max
- Public B — $100 min; $1,000 max
Important Instructions for Registrants: Only KYC ‘verified’ users will be able to purchase QI tokens. We will continue to process KYC for users who already have the status ‘Documents Under Review’ even during the sale. No other users will be able to participate in the sale.
How to participate:
Step 1: Visit https://sale.benqi.fi before the sale starts. You can enter the queue waiting room at any time prior to the sale start. Everyone in the waiting room will be assigned a random spot in line. Users arriving after the sale starts get a first-come, first-served place in line after those in the waiting room.
Step 2: Wait in line as we process participation. We expect the sale to take a few hours. Please note, securing an allocation will be highly competitive.
Step 3: Once you have made it through the queue, select either Public A or Public B option, the payment options will be displayed for you to complete the purchase. Read and sign the purchase agreement by entering the exact name of the purchaser. You will receive a unique address on the screen + a QR code to send your funds. Once payment is processed, you will receive a purchase confirmation email. If you wish to purchase the other round, go back to your Profile and repeat the step for the other round.
Step 4: We will send an email with token delivery instructions within 7 days of sale close. All purchasers will need to update their receive address on https://sale.benqi.fi after the sale. We will email details about this process for updating your receive address.
As a reminder, you must purchase within the limits stated. Any purchases made by abusing the system in this way or any other way will result in cancellation of all your purchases.
Finally, please beware of phishing attacks and fake social media accounts impersonating BENQI. Please note that the ONLY place to participate in the BENQI Token Sale is sale.benqi.fi
