Coincheck IEO Launch
An IEO is a type of Initial Coin Offering (ICO) where a company or project electronically issues utility tokens to procure funds, with a cryptocurrency exchange acting as the main party for screening the project and selling the issuer tokens.
IEOs are being utilized by developers, investors, service providers, and other network participants around the world to construct open, decentralized networks and design new forms of incentives.
By conducting the project screening and selling utility tokens issued by companies and projects, Coincheck IEO will serve as a platform to form and grow communities and support fund procurement.
Coincheck IEO will provide a safe and easy-to-use environment for Japanese cryptocurrency investors to participate in promising projects both in Japan and overseas and contribute to the further development of the cryptocurrency market by supporting cryptocurrency and blockchain-related projects.
