Rules of Bitlocus (BTL)’s DAO SHO Portion Sale on Gate.io’s Startup

(1) Order Duration: December 1st, 10:00:00 AM-December 2nd, 2:00 AM UTC

(2) To participate in Startup Sale, users should agree to lock up DAO for a period of 10 days.

(3) The price is $0.02

(4) Users can place orders by agreeing to locking up DAO for 10 days

(5) Users can place orders from December 1sth, 10:00:00 AM – December 2nd, 2:00 AM UTC. Orders placed by qualified users within these hours will be treated equally.

(6) Users need to ensure that there is sufficient balance of DAO (the full amount you agree to lockup for 10 days) and USDG (amount to pay for new tokens actually received) in accounts after placing the orders. An insufficient DAO or USDG balance will result in the cancellation of the purchase order.

(7) Each individual can only purchase once with an account passing KYC.

(8) After December 2nd, 2:00 AM UTC, we will collect all the qualified orders and calculate the result and announce the result in 2 hours. USDG to pay for participant’s BTL token purchase will be deducted from the participant’s account and the amount of DAO the participant agrees to lockup when placing orders will be locked for 10 days. Participants will receive a proportional amount of BTL tokens to their share of DAO tokens locked up on Gate.io according to the token release schedule.

Example(with hypothetical data and conditions ):

If the total DAO locked by all startup sale participants is 20,000 DAO. The total supply of new tokens offered on Gate.io startup sale is 1,000,000 new tokens. Token price is 0. 1 USDG per token. Participants are required to lock DAO for a period of 15 days.

If User A agreed to lock 500 DAO (by placing order) for a period of 15 days. Then,

User A’s share of the new tokens (also his share of DAO locked): 500/20,000=2.5%

Users A will receive new tokens: 2.5%X 1,000,000=25,000 new tokens.

User A’s USDG payment: the actual new token user A will receive X token price: 25,000X0. 1=2500 USDG

After the sale, user A’s 500 DAO will be locked for 15 days.

And USDG for purchase of the new tokens will be deducted from User A’s spot account balance.
