Dive deeper by visiting our [White Paper](https://4irtoken.gitbook.io/blockchainvalley/blockchainvalley-whitepaper). &#x20;

**2.What entails the 4IR Token Presale?** The 4IR Token Presale is an initial phase allowing enthusiasts to acquire the tokens at a special discount. This is before its official listing on cryptocurrency exchanges, beginning with Uniswap.org.

**3.Why is investing in the 4IR Presale beneficial?** Presales offer the earliest buying window, allowing investors—whether novices or experts—to secure assets before they're available on public exchanges, often at a more advantageous rate.

**4. How can I participate in the 4IR Presale?** Visit [4IRtoken.com/invest](http://4irtoken.com/invest) and follow these steps to engage in our 2-week-long 4IR Presale.

**To invest, you need to take TWO GENERAL STEPS**: first click Invest to APPROVE your wallet to send the payment and then enter your amount and SUBMIT the investment. Do not send any tokens to the sale contract directly as they would be lost. **Let's look at this more in detail**:

**a.** You need to have a crypto wallet. If you do not have already one, you can get **Metamask or Coinbase** (which is more simple), but if you already have any other wallet, make sure it accepts the **stable coin USDC**.&#x20;

Buy crypto or Swap your existing crypto into  **USDC** Stablecoin in your wallet **plus ETH enough** to afford the gas fees when swapping **USDC** for **4IR**.

**b.** The **minimum** investment amount **in USDC** is **50.0**, and the **maximum** investment amount is **1,000,000.0**. To any amount you wish to invest in USDC you must consider the **gas fees** for the transaction.&#x20;

**c.** **CONNECT** your crypto wallet by clicking on the appropiate field at the investing page when prompted. **Enter** the amount of USDC you want to invest once you have connected your wallet, then **click** on **"Submit Investment".**

**d.** Set the **Maximum Cap** you want to spend during this 2 week 4IR Presale Campaign. You will not be able to exceed the Cap you set. Also, ensure you set you Cap above the minimum buy of $50, and ensure you have some Eth to pay for gas fees. Ethereum gas fees are about 3% of your total investment.&#x20;

**e.** During the Presale Live period you will see the amount of USDC you have invested within your account on our presale page. You won't yet see the actual number of 4IR Tokens that you have purchased at the 30% discount from $0.69, therefore $0.48. The 4IR amount you have will reflect after the end of the 2 week sale, by you **logging back** in our Presale page to directly **CLAIM** your 4IR Tokens.

**5."I don't really know how to handle crypto wallets and i would prefer other arrangements".** Well, in exceptional cases, and only with small investments (less than 10K USD) get in touch with us through the email provided and we will see how to proceed, always inside the regulatory frame.&#x20;

**6. What discount and match rate can I expect during the Presale?** Investors enjoy a 30% discount off the standard $0.69 listing price. Additionally, there's a 200% match on investments during week one and a 100% match in week two.

**7. When and how are the 4IR Tokens allocated to me?** Post the Presale, 4IR Tokens are relayed to your digital wallet after you **CLAIM** them. Per term and conditions on our White Paper, 50% is accessible immediately, while the remainder is locked up for a year, and then distributed at 12.5% for four months. Your 200% and 100% bonus tokens are vested and will spread over four years, with 25% allotted at the end of each vestible year.&#x20;

**8. Can you project the near to long-term value of 4IR?** While making specific price predictions is outside our ethical boundaries, we've sourced insights from ChatGPT for a 10-year projection, available [here](https://chat.openai.com/xxx). This assessment is speculative and shouldn't replace personalized financial advice. For a deeper understanding, we suggest exploring our [4IR Token Calculator](http://4irtoken.com/calculator) and reviewing our comprehensive   [WhitePaper](https://4irtoken.gitbook.io/blockchainvalley/blockchainvalley-whitepaper) detailing our ecosystem and value proposition.

**9.Why do I have to be whitelisted?** The token and crypto environment has radically changed in the last year. Kindly note you will still need to Whitelist, meaning basic personal details needed to be collected by EU Law & Compliance. We will provide instructions on how to whitelist or KYC later on. Your basic data will be safe and protected by GDPR regulations.&#x20;

**10. Then, who can register and invest?** Over 18´s only, except nationals or residents in countries blacklisted or in the list we publish in the website and the White Paper. Check the particular requirements in the corresponding section in the White Paper.&#x20;

**11.WHAT ABOUT SAFETY? How do I protect my Tokens in my wallet?** Stick to this: not your keys, not your tokens. Your private keys or your seed phrase shouldn't be stored in any digital form. Store anywhere (in a safe place) except in any device with Internet connection to avoid being hacked and make a backup. Finally **DYOR: Do Your Own Research** always on how to manage your wallet in a safe and secure way.

**12.I am getting emails from a different email address of the one on the website (<offering@4irtoken.com>), telling me to participate in Airdrops, games, etc. Is this you?** Well, not at all. We are not planning any Airdrop at the moment and if there were any communication on the contrary, or any communication with you at all it would be ONLY through the official email address. In any case, in doubt, again DYOR and send us an email to our official email address asking for clarification.&#x20;

**13.Any questions** can be directed to **<Offering@4IRToken.com>**. We look forward to your Presale 4IR Investment and growing with you.&#x20;
