What are Crypto Presales?

Crypto presales allow investors to buy cryptocurrency tokens at discounted prices before they are publicly listed.

These sales occur before the official launch of a blockchain project.

During this phase, developers raise funds for development, marketing efforts, and operational needs. Investors commit their money upfront and typically receive their tokens once the presale ends successfully.

The process benefits both parties: projects secure necessary capital while investors gain access to potentially high-value assets at lower costs.
