How the CANDY Presale Offer Works: A Free Cardaxo Virtual Card for the First 500 Buyers

By Kevin · 2026-06-17 · Article

Most presale perks are hard to picture. A bonus percentage here, a badge there. It is difficult to know what you are actually getting.

The CANDY presale offer is a little more concrete. For a limited group of early participants, it comes with a crypto card you can actually use, plus extra tokens on top of the purchase.

There is a catch worth stating up front: the offer is limited to the first 500 presale participants only. This guide explains how it works, what the card is, and how to check whether spots are still available before you make any decisions.

Key takeaways

The offer is for the first 500 CANDY presale participants only.
Those participants receive a free Cardaxo Virtual Card plus a 20% bonus.
Cardaxo lets you load crypto and spend wherever Mastercard is accepted, with crypto converted at the till.
Spots are limited, so check cryptocandy.io to see whether any remain.
A perk is never a reason on its own to buy a token; the token's price can fall.

What the offer includes

According to the project, the first 500 people to take part in the CANDY presale receive two things:

A free Cardaxo Virtual Card, the CANDY ecosystem's crypto card.
A 20% bonus on top of their presale purchase.

That is the whole offer. We have no further details on how the bonus is delivered or exactly when the card is issued, so check cryptocandy.io for the current terms. If anyone tells you about extra conditions or extra rewards that you cannot find on the official site, treat that as a warning sign.

What Cardaxo actually is

Cardaxo is the crypto card that sits inside the CANDY ecosystem. The idea is straightforward: you load crypto onto the card, then spend it wherever Mastercard is accepted. When you pay, your crypto is converted at the till, so the shop simply receives a normal card payment.

Every purchase made with the card earns CANDY rewards. Cardaxo is issued by Tech Jubilant FZCO, a company based in Dubai.

A virtual card lives on your phone or computer rather than in your wallet as a piece of plastic. You can typically use it for online shopping and, depending on your device and setup, for contactless payments in shops. Check the Cardaxo terms for how your card can be used where you live.

There is also a referral feature, according to project materials. If you refer a friend, both of you receive CANDY once the new user completes KYC (identity checks) and card registration.

Step by step: how to take part

The offer runs through the normal presale process. Here is the general flow.

Step 1: Check whether spots remain. Visit cryptocandy.io and look for current information on the first-500 offer. If the spots have gone, the offer no longer applies, even though the presale itself may still be open.

Step 2: Set up your own wallet. CANDY runs on CandyChain, which works with familiar Ethereum wallets such as MetaMask. Write your seed phrase down offline and never share it.

Step 3: Connect to the official site. Only use cryptocandy.io. Type the address yourself rather than following links from messages.

Step 4: Choose your amount. The minimum purchase is $10. Buy only what you are comfortable putting at risk.

Step 5: Confirm in your wallet. Review what your wallet shows you before approving.

Step 6: Follow the card instructions. If you qualify as one of the first 500, follow the official guidance for claiming your Cardaxo Virtual Card. Expect to complete KYC as part of card registration.

Presale details worth knowing

The offer sits alongside the standard presale terms, which apply to everyone.

Item	Detail
Who gets the card offer	First 500 presale participants only
Card	Free Cardaxo Virtual Card
Bonus	20%
Minimum purchase	$10
Presale round prices	$0.0004, $0.0008, $0.0020, $0.0050
Planned listing price	$0.0100 (not guaranteed)
Token unlock	10% at TGE, 90% linearly over 18 months

The planned listing price is 25 times the pre-seed price, but prices are not guaranteed and can fall. The unlock schedule also matters: most of your tokens will be released gradually rather than all at once.

After you receive your card

Once your card is set up, a few habits will serve you well.

Load only what you plan to spend. A card connected to crypto is still a spending tool. Keep larger holdings in a wallet you control.

Watch for conversion details. Because crypto converts at the till, the amount of crypto used depends on prices at that moment. Check the Cardaxo terms for any fees.

Protect your login. Use strong, unique passwords and any extra security the card app offers.

Ignore unofficial "support". Scammers often target new cardholders with fake help messages. Use official channels only.

The bottom line

The first 500 CANDY presale participants receive a free Cardaxo Virtual Card and a 20% bonus, which is a practical perk compared with many presale offers. Spots are limited, so check cryptocandy.io before you assume the offer still applies. Most importantly, decide whether you want CANDY for its own sake. A card is a nice extra, not a reason to take a risk you are not comfortable with.
