ICO and IDO advisory – end-to-end token issuance support for startups

We prepare the issuance from strategy and documents, through smart contracts, the website and investor dashboard, to issuance communication and listing support. We establish the token's classification at the outset: utility tokens fall under MiCA, and tokens with the characteristics of a financial instrument under other rules.

Project tokenization: from model to issuance

A token issuance (ICO, IDO, STO) is one possible path for a Web3 project. It does not secure financing or liquidity, so we start by asking whether the token makes sense, what rights it should carry and which rules apply.

Our offering is the preparation of a token issuance – from tokenomics strategy, through smart contract development, to issuance communication and legal support.

Who is this service for?

This service is intended for:

  • Blockchain and DeFi startups: Projects building new protocols, DEXs, lending pools or innovative dApps.
  • Web3 games (GameFi/Metaverse): Game developers who want to introduce a native currency, NFT tokens or Play-to-Earn systems.
  • Traditional companies (STO): Businesses wishing to tokenize assets (real estate, PSA or S.A. stock, receivables), after a regulatory analysis. Learn more about asset tokenization here: Real-World Assets.
  • Investment funds and DAOs: Organisations building decentralised mechanisms for governance and capital investment.

What is the difference between ICO, IDO and STO?

Choosing the right issuance model is of key importance. Below we explain the basic differences.

Issuance model

What is it?

Main features

Level of regulation

ICO (Initial Coin Offering)

Initial coin offering – tokens are sold directly by the project.

The issuer sets the sale terms and the price.

Depends on the token's classification. A utility token falls under MiCA.

IDO (Initial DEX Offering)

Token sale on a decentralised exchange (DEX) or launchpad.

Listing on a DEX, with no assurance of liquidity.

Depends on the token's classification.

STO (Security Token Offering)

An offering of security tokens representing tokenized assets (stock, real estate).

Highly regulated, offered through an investment firm or an authorised crowdfunding platform.

High – financial market rules.

How does implementation work? A 5-stage process

We split the implementation into five stages. At each one you know what is being produced and who is responsible.

Stage 1: Strategy and tokenomics

  • Model selection: Choosing the model (ICO/IDO/STO) and the jurisdiction.
  • Token architecture: Designing the functions (utility, stock-based, governance) and economics (vesting, staking, burning).
  • Documentation: Preparing a professional whitepaper, pitch decks and roadmap.

Stage 2: Technology development

  • Development: Coding tokens and smart contracts on the chosen blockchain (Ethereum, Solana, BSC, Polygon). See how we create tokens: Token Creation.
  • Functionality: Implementing features such as vesting, staking, whitelist, airdrop.
  • Investor dashboard: Building the dashboard, integrating wallets (MetaMask, WalletConnect, Phantom) and KYC/AML systems.
  • Structuring: Assistance with the structure of a fund, DAO or issuance, built around the requirements that apply to the token. We also offer Company Registration Services in selected jurisdictions.
  • Documents: Preparing full legal documentation (terms and conditions, agreements, AML/KYC).
  • Security: Conducting a smart contract audit and a legal and regulatory analysis.

Stage 4: Issuance communication, PR and community

  • PR: Materials for industry media, published by the issuer in its own name.
  • Community: Support for the issuer's accounts on Telegram, X (Twitter) and Discord, and support for AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions.
  • Communication: Issuance communication schedule. The issuer publishes communications in its own name, and the fee is fixed. Learn more about what we do: Token Marketing.

Stage 5: Market launch

  • Launch: Technical supervision of the smart contract deployment.
  • Listing: Assistance with listing the token on decentralised (DEX) and centralised (CEX) exchanges.
  • Maintenance: Support in managing the tokenomics and community after the issuance is complete.

FAQ

Questions about ICOs and IDOs

Didn't find your answer? Ask during a free consultation.

Ask a question
  • Yes – provided the project complies with the applicable rules. That is why we pair every issuance with a legal analysis and documents matching the token's classification.

  • If the token falls under MiCA, compliance means preparing an issuance or tokenization so that it meets EU requirements on transparency, the way tokens are offered, data retention and investor protection. In practice, it is about designing the documents, the tokenomics and the smart contract itself according to clear rules.

  • Real estate, precious metals, shares in PSA and S.A. companies, company assets, investment products and many other resources that can be valued and divided into units can all be tokenized. Valuation alone does not settle it: whether and how an asset can be tokenized depends on the token's classification and how it is offered.

  • A standard process takes from several weeks to several months, depending on the scope, the type of asset and whether the token falls under MiCA. Most importantly, we run everything step by step, so from the outset you can see the timeline and what is happening at any given moment.

  • Sometimes yes, sometimes no; it all depends on the type of token and how it is offered. That is why we analyse the project at the start and tell you straight away whether a licence is required and, if so, which steps are needed.

  • The A-to-Z model reduces the coordination risk that usually arises when working with several providers at once. You have one team responsible for law, technology, documents and implementation. This does not remove legal or technological risk.
