Initial Token Offerings (ITO)

An Initial Token Offering (ITO) is a method for blockchain-based projects to raise funds by selling digital tokens to investors before the project is fully developed. These tokens often represent future access, utility, or rights within the platform being built. Similar to an initial public offering (IPO) in traditional finance, ITOs allow early supporters to invest at an early stage. They help the project gather necessary capital and generate interest, but investors should carefully evaluate the project's legitimacy, use case, and underlying technology, as ITOs carry risks like fraud or market volatility.
