### Participation Guide: How to Join IDOs on AIPad

[AIPad](https://www.aipad.tech/), a revolutionary new Launchpad for AI and cryptocurrency, is set to revolutionize the crypto world with its cutting-edge projects that harness the power of artificial intelligence.

### Leaderboard Introduction

AIPad's gamified leaderboard provides an innovative and interactive way for the community to participate in IDOs hosted on our platform.

Only KYC-approved wallet holders can access the leaderboard, with their score and placement determining their tier and allocation.

### How to obtain a tier and participate in an IDO on AIPad?

The AIPad website features a leaderboard displaying user scores. The top 1,000 users on the leaderboard are guaranteed a project allocation. There are allocation size tiers, such as the top 100, 101-200, and so on.

What is required to qualify for the leaderboard?

✅Pass the one time KYC process. To learn how to do this, click [here](https://aipad-1.gitbook.io/aipad/kyc-know-your-customer).

*Note: Users who have completed the KYC verification process will see a green KYC button on the* [*AIPad app*](https://app.aipad.tech/) *and will have received an approval email from KYCAID, our KYC partner. To participate in the IDO, users must complete KYC verification at least 24 hours prior.*

✅Hold #AIPAD tokens in your wallet for at least 21 days to earn a higher multiplier and climb up the leaderboard. To learn more about how the leaderboard operates, click [here](https://aipad-1.gitbook.io/aipad/leaderboard-tier-system).

*Note: although users in the top 500 of the leaderboard are not obligated to join the whitelist, we suggest doing so to secure a spot in case any of the top 500 participants drop out. Whitelisted participants will have priority.*

However, if a user's score does not place them in the top 1000 of the leaderboard, they will be added to a lottery draw. The higher the score, the higher the ranking, which leads to a greater number of lottery tickets as follows:

Rank 1001 to 2000 - 4 lottery tickets

Rank 2001 to 3000 - 3 lottery tickets

Rank 3001 to 4000 - 2 lottery tickets, and

Rank 4001 to 5000 - 1 lottery ticket.

### To summarize, anyone interested in qualifying for an IDO on AIPad must follow these three straightforward steps:

1. Pass the on time KYC process
2. Secure position in the leaderboard
3. Participate in the IDO
