Navigating the IDO Journey with POLS Power: What You Need to Know
Participating in an IDO can feel overwhelming, especially for first-timers navigating allocation rules, staking mechanics, and tier benefits. At Polkastarter, we believe that user education is key to long-term success.
This article breaks down how POLS Power works, why it matters, and how you can optimize your IDO participation experience.
What is POLS Power?
POLS Power is a score that determines your eligibility and allocation priority in Polkastarter token sales. It’s calculated based on the amount of $POLS you stake and how long it remains staked.
The more you stake, the higher your POLS Power—and the better your access to exclusive opportunities.
Why POLS Power Matters
Your POLS Power directly impacts your chances in an IDO. From guaranteed allocations to FCFS (First-Come, First-Served) access, your level unlocks different participation privileges.
Key POLS Power Tiers:
- 1,000+ POLS Power: Minimum required to join IDOs
- 30,000+ POLS Power: Skip cooldown period after IDO participation
- 50,000+ POLS Power: Guaranteed allocation in every sale
This tiered system ensures fair and transparent access based on user commitment.
Tips to Maximize Your POLS Power
- Stake Early, Stake Smart POLS Power increases over time, so staking early gives you an edge for upcoming IDOs.
- Monitor Snapshots POLS Power is updated every 6 hours. Make sure your stake is active before snapshots for eligibility.
- Complete Onboarding Missions New users can earn bonus POLS Power (up to 500) by completing simple onboarding tasks.
- Use a Consistent Wallet Always connect using the same wallet to avoid confusion with whitelisting and eligibility.
Common Questions About POLS Power
- "I have $POLS in my wallet—why is my POLS Power zero?" Only staked tokens contribute to your POLS Power.
- "Do I need to restake after each IDO?" No. As long as your tokens remain staked, your POLS Power stays active.
- "Can I stake on multiple wallets?" Yes, but POLS Power is calculated per wallet. For maximum efficiency, use a single wallet.
POLS Power is your key to unlocking the Polkastarter experience. Whether you’re aiming for guaranteed access or just starting your IDO journey, understanding the system empowers you to plan and participate effectively.
