What you get from an Aegas IDO build

• Trading from listing

  The sale contract and the DEX listing are set up together, so the token is tradable the moment the pool goes live. We wire the token, the sale, and the liquidity pool as one flow rather than three disconnected steps, which is where most launch-day failures come from.

• Liquidity that holds

  Listing on a DEX opens the token to open-market liquidity, but a launch holds only if the pool is funded and locked correctly. We handle initial liquidity provisioning, LP token locks, and the parameters that decide how the price behaves in the first hours of trading.

• Open, rule-based allocation

  A DEX offering lets any wallet take part, on-chain, under the same rules. We build the allocation logic you choose: first-come pools, whitelist tiers, staking-weighted allocation, or hard per-wallet caps. The rules live in the contract, so every participant is treated the same way.

What an IDO launchpad build covers

How an IDO build runs, step by step

1. 1
   Scope and token design

   We start by pinning down the token model, the sale mechanics, and the chain. That means settling supply and vesting, the allocation rules, the target listing price and liquidity, and which EVM chain fits the fees and audience you expect. The output is a scoped plan with an estimate we are prepared to commit to.

2. 2
   Contracts and audit prep

   We build the token, vesting, sale, and any staking or governance contracts, with a full test suite on a public testnet. Before an external audit, we document the contract invariants and run internal checks for the common failure classes: reentrancy, access-control mistakes, and rounding errors in allocation math.

3. 3
   Third-party audit and deployment

   A sale that will hold user funds goes through a third-party audit before it launches. Once the audit is clean and the fixes are applied, we deploy to mainnet, provision and lock liquidity, and run the listing so trading opens on schedule.

4. 4
   Maintenance and ecosystem work

   After the launch we stay on for monitoring, contract maintenance, and the next phase of the roadmap: staking, vesting claim portals, governance, or utility features that give the token a reason to exist past the sale.

FAQ

• What is an IDO?

  An Initial DEX Offering is a token launch that happens on a decentralized exchange rather than through a centralized platform. The project deploys a token, opens a sale contract that any wallet can join under fixed on-chain rules, and lists the token to a liquidity pool so it is tradable from launch. Compared with a centralized sale, an IDO is open and transparent: the allocation rules, the vesting schedule, and the liquidity locks are all visible on-chain. That openness is also the risk. Because anyone can participate and the code runs without a gatekeeper, the contracts have to be correct and audited before launch, and the liquidity has to be funded and locked properly, or the launch fails in public.

• What does an IDO development company actually build?

  The visible part of an IDO is the sale page, but most of the engineering is in the contracts behind it. An IDO development company builds the token contract, the vesting and lockup contracts that control how supply releases, and the sale or launchpad contract that handles contribution windows, allocation tiers, per-wallet caps, and claim logic after the sale closes. On top of that sits the liquidity work: provisioning the pool, setting the listing price and ratio, and locking LP tokens. At Aegas we build all of these as one connected flow, prepare the code for a third-party audit, and run the listing itself. Since 2017 the team has shipped 100+ blockchain projects, including production DEXs, which is the same domain an IDO launch depends on.

• Which blockchains do you build IDO launchpads on?

  We build primarily on EVM-compatible chains: Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Avalanche, and Base. Chain choice is a real engineering decision. Ethereum mainnet carries the most liquidity and the highest gas costs; an L2 such as Arbitrum or Base cuts fees sharply while keeping EVM tooling; BNB Chain and Polygon are common for retail-facing sales where low fees matter more than settlement guarantees. We weigh the fees your participants will pay, the DEXs and liquidity available on the chain, and where your audience already holds assets, then recommend the chain during scoping. If your token needs to exist on more than one chain, we plan the bridge and multi-chain liquidity as part of the build.

• How do vesting and token locks work in an IDO?

  Without vesting, a launch can collapse the moment early allocations unlock. Instead of trusting a team to hold tokens, the release schedule is enforced by a contract: a cliff period during which nothing unlocks, then a linear or stepped release over months. Team, private-round, and treasury allocations each get their own schedule. Liquidity gets a separate lock, where the LP tokens from the initial pool are held in a locker contract for a committed period so the team cannot pull liquidity after listing. We build these contracts, publish the schedules on-chain so investors can verify them, and make sure the numbers in the vesting contract match what the whitepaper and tokenomics claim, because a mismatch there is one of the fastest ways to lose investor trust.

• How do you handle IDO smart contract security?

  We treat a third-party audit as a requirement for any sale that holds user funds. During development the contracts get peer review, a full test suite on a public testnet, and internal checks for the failure classes that hit token sales most: reentrancy, access-control errors, integer rounding in allocation math, and unsafe external calls. Before launch we prepare the codebase for a third-party audit and coordinate review with established firms such as Hacken, OpenZeppelin, or CertiK. Aegas ships and coordinates the audit; we do not audit our own contracts, and we would not present an unaudited sale contract as safe. After the fixes from the audit are applied and re-checked, the contracts go to mainnet.

• How much does it cost to create an IDO?

  The cost depends on how much of the stack you need and how custom the token model is. A straightforward launch with a standard token, basic vesting, and a DEX listing sits at the lower end; a full launchpad with tiered allocation, staking-weighted access, multi-round vesting, and a custom sale portal costs more, and the third-party audit is a separate line item that scales with contract complexity. We scope accurately after a short discovery call rather than quoting blind, and the estimate flags where cost is driven by audit scope versus development so you can decide what is worth building now and what can wait. Contact us for a free estimate on your specific launch.

• How long does IDO development take?

  A standard IDO with a token, vesting, a sale contract, and a DEX listing typically takes four to eight weeks of development, plus the third-party audit window, which usually adds one to three weeks depending on the auditor's queue and the contract complexity. A full launchpad with staking, tiered allocation, and a custom portal takes longer. The audit is the part teams most often underestimate: it cannot be compressed, and rushing a launch to skip it is how sales get exploited. We build the schedule backward from your target listing date, keep the audit window in it from the start, and break the work into testnet milestones you can verify as they land rather than waiting for one delivery at the end.

• How do I choose an IDO launchpad development company?

  Look for a team that has shipped the trading side of an IDO. The launch depends on the DEX pool, the liquidity setup, and the sale mechanics behaving correctly under load on day one, which is a different skill from writing a token contract. Ask what the team has deployed to mainnet, how they prepare for a third-party audit, and which audit firms they coordinate with. Be wary of any company that offers to audit its own contracts or treats an audit as optional. At Aegas the same engineers who build launchpads have shipped production DEXs including Privex, Chronos, and Nest, we prepare every fund-holding contract for external audit, and we stay on after the launch rather than disappearing at listing.
