# How to join Launchpad?

## Staking (Tier member)

The will IDO Tier occur first

Users can begin staking to participate in the project at "IDO Start" round.

* Depending on the project, the contract will configure the minimum stake amount to determine the user's Tier.
* These users will be prioritized for IDO purchases, and the maximum buy amount will depend on their Tier.

## Whitelist 

Occurs after the IDO Tier have been allocated.

Users can "Apply now"  to participate in the project at "Apply whitelist" round:

* In many cases, projects may want to prioritize IDO sales to Whitelist users. The system requires users to apply for the whitelist to be eligible to purchase IDO tokens. 
* Users who are Tier member of GroFi Dex can still apply for the whitelist to purchase during the Whitelist sale round.

## Community

Final Sale: This round occurs after all other rounds (IDO Tier, IDO Whitelist...) are completed.

* Members of the community may participate without needing to apply for whitelist status or stake tokens, depending on project-specific rules.
* Users who are Tier member of GroFiDex and Whitelist Members can continue to purchase IDO during this round if they still wish to do so.
