# IDO

**TLDR:**&#x20;

The Graphite Protocol IDO will start on February 10( UTC), 2023 and run for 3 days. Liquidity will only be deposited on the final day of the IDO (claim day). The token cost will be lower for those who opt for longer vesting periods. The initial LP deposit price for Graphite will be $0.42 per token.\
\
\
**IDO Information:**\
\
The Graphite Protocol IDO refers to the Initial DEX Offering of the Graphite Utility Token. This is the official public sale event for the token. The Graphite Protocol includes various products and services such as the Graphite Mainframe, Mintport, Graphite Labels Services, HQ Production Suite, and others.\
\
\
**How the Graphite Protocol IDO Works:**\
\
The Graphite Protocol IDO will take place from February 10th ( UTC) to Febuary 13th 7PM UTC, 2023. The IDO will provide an opportunity for people to buy tokens for a period of three days. Once the IDO ends, a claim button will be displayed on the user interface, enabling users to claim the tokens they have purchased.\
\
\
2 million Graphite Tokens will be available for the public to purchase. Participation in the IDO is restricted to select regions due to varying laws and regulations regarding token sales these restrictions are based on IP address access. The price of the token is based on the vesting period selected by the user, with longer vesting periods being more cost-effective. The IDO only accepts USDC as payment and users will receive Graphite Tokens in exchange for depositing USDC into the contract. \
\
These following countries are **IP restricted** from accessing the IDO: \
\
Cuba, Iraq, Iran, Liberia, North Korea, Syria, Sudan, South Sudan, Antigua, United States, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Channel islands, Puerto Rico, United States Minor Outlying Islands, US Virgin Islands, Ukraine, Belarus, Albania, Burma, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Lybia, Somalia, Yemen, United Kingdom, Thailand, Romania, Gibraltar.\
\
\
**Here's the vesting options:** \
&#x20;\
**No vest:** .50C/Token: **NOTE- Graphite Inital LP will put the token at .42C** \
**6 months:  .**&#x34;5C/Token\
**12 months:**  .32C/Token\
**22 Months:** .23C/Token.\
\
\
\
The tokens will be released daily according to the selected vesting period, starting immediately after purchase but not claimable until the final day of the IDO. For instance, if a user selects a 12-month vesting period, they will receive a portion of the tokens every day until the 12 months have passed and all tokens have been vested.<br>

Here's an example with 1000 tokens.

1000 tokens / 365 days(12months) = 2.73 tokens/day claimable.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://solport.gitbook.io/graphite-whitepaper/token/ido.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
