Shardeum (SHM) Token Sale: How to Participate

This blog provides a step-by-step guide on how to participate in Shardeum’s newly launched token sale and secure SHM at an exclusive price before our mainnet launch on April 15, 2025

The token sale round price is $1.41, but for a limited time and quantity, we are offering bonus allocations on a first-come, first-served (FCFS) basis. Once the token sale ends, this opportunity will close. Our goal is to ensure a fair strategy that benefits as many community members as possible.

Steps to Purchase SHM Tokens in Shardeum Token Sale

Step 1: Simply click the link above, and select the tier that matches your eligibility on the sale landing page

A. Early Contributor/Allowlist Tier Pricing Details

The Early Contributors/Allowlist Tier is exclusively for those who actively supported Shardeum during its Alphanet, Betanet, and Incentivized Testnet phases, as a thank you for their early support and contributions. Only eligible wallets of early contributors will be able to access SHM at the specified pricing illustrated in the screenshot below. Others will find only the Public Tier Options on the sale page.

This tier is further divided into two purchase options: one with a minimum of 500 USDC and another with a minimum of 2,000 USDC. The higher-tier option offers more favorable pricing, rewarding participants who purchase a larger amount of SHM.

B. Public Tier Pricing Details

Public participants must choose the ‘Public Tier’ option to join the token sale. This tier still offers SHM at a low and favorable rate.

Like the Early Contributor/Allowlist Tier, it includes two purchase options: one with a minimum of 500 USDC and another with a minimum of 2,000 USDC. The higher-tier option provides a more favorable rate, rewarding participants who purchase a larger amount of SHM.
