# Catex IDO & Token Launch Strategy

As Catex prepares for its highly anticipated launch on Unichain, we’re excited to unveil the full strategy behind our upcoming IDO and token distribution. This strategy is purpose-built to reward early alignment, maximize accessibility, and power the ve(3,3) MetaLayer model from day one.

***

### Multi-Platform IDO Structure

To onboard both our core supporters and new communities, Catex is launching its IDO across multiple trusted platforms and through a native raise on our own app:

* ApeBond Pre-Sale Bond – $25,000 | July 8
* Spores Network – $150,000 | July 11
* Poolz – $150,000 | July 13
* Finceptor – $200,000 | July 14
* Catex Native Sale – $50,000 | July 14



This hybrid model ensures broad access while allowing deeply aligned contributors to participate directly via the Catex dApp.

### Native IDO on Catex

The $50,000 raise through our native app is designed to prioritize long-term supporters and early ecosystem contributors.
