Shardeum Token Sale is Live – Get Early Access to SHM!

Shardeum is advancing true decentralization and a community-first ethos — not just in spirit, but in practice. The Shardeum Token Sale is now live, giving the public exclusive early access to SHM before our mainnet launch on April 15, 2025. In fact, this is one of the first token sales by a Layer 1 blockchain where the public can participate at more favorable price points.

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.

With no lock-ups and tiered early access pricing, this sale empowers early adopters and future validators who will help secure Shardeum on the upcoming mainnet.

To participate, simply click the link above, select the tier that matches your eligibility on the sale landing page and follow the steps outlined here to buy SHM tokens.

Shardeum Token Sale Tiers and Early Access Pricing

1. Early Contributors/Allowlist Tier

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.

2. Public Tier

Public participants must choose the ‘Public Tier’ option to join the token sale. This tier still offers SHM at pricing that is favorable compared to our previous private sale rounds.

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.
