# How to participate in an IDO

## Joining pool:&#x20;

**Step 1: Log in**

Login at [https://snapexdefi.com](https://snapexdefi.com)

Connect your wallet — make sure to connect the same wallet you have won your allocation with.

**Step 2**: **Pick one IDO project that is open**

From the homepage scroll down to see the **Open** **IDO** projects and click on one.

**Step 3:** **Join Pool**

Click the green **“Join Pool”** button.

**Note:** Make sure you have sufficient BUSD in your wallet to Join Pool. If you do not have sufficient BUSD in your wallet, a pop-up message at upper right corner will remind you to top up your balance.

_**For example:** Your IDO Guaranteed Allocation is 1,000 $CFL365 Token, 1 $CFL365 = $0.06, so you have to make sure there is at least 60 BUSD in your balance to exchange for CFL365 tokens._

**Step 4:** **Confirm your transaction**

Use Metamask or other crypto wallets to complete the transaction. Your Metamask extension will pop up on the upper right corner of the screen. Click **“Confirm”**.

Your transaction has now been completed, but you will still need to claim your tokens. In the next steps we will show you how to redeem (claim) your tokens. The time at which tokens are to be redeemed varies from project to project. Usually, projects will list their token on a DEX such as [**Pancakeswap**](https://pancakeswap.finance/) within a few hours after IDO ends. Please read the relevant Medium articles for details about each particular IDO.
