Your CANDY Journey Starts Here: What the $0.0004 Pre-Seed Price Means

Every journey has a starting point. For CANDY, that's the pre-seed round of its presale, where tokens are priced at $0.0004 each.

If you're new to presales, that number raises a lot of questions. What is a pre-seed round? Why does the price change? What happens afterwards? This guide walks through it all in plain English.

What is a presale?

A presale is a chance to buy a token before it's widely available on exchanges. Projects use presales to raise funds for development, and early supporters get access at earlier-stage prices.

It's a bit like buying tickets in early-bird rounds: the earlier the round, the lower the price, and the price rises as each round fills.

The CANDY presale rounds

CANDY's presale is stepped, which means the price rises with each round:

The pre-seed round is the first and lowest-priced stage. The final round, at $0.0100, is priced at the planned listing price.

Why prices rise each round

Stepped pricing rewards people who join earlier, when a project is at an earlier stage and its future is less certain. As the project progresses and more products go live, later rounds are priced higher.

It's worth being precise about what this means. The round prices are set prices within the presale. Once CANDY lists on exchanges, its price will be set by the market: by buyers and sellers. Listing prices aren't guaranteed to hold, and crypto prices can move a lot in both directions.

What you're actually buying into

A token is only as interesting as what stands behind it. CANDY is the core coin of a connected ecosystem running on its own blockchain, CandyChain (an EVM-compatible Layer 1, Chain ID 2828). That ecosystem includes:

• Cardaxo, a crypto card with CANDY cashback
• CandyRush, play-and-earn gaming
• CandyBet, on-chain predictions (coming soon)
• The AI Agent Marketplace and SugarPen
• CandyVault for real-world-asset settlement: merchant rewards, gift cards and loyalty points, tokenised and settled in CANDY

All of it is tied together by a flywheel, Use → Earn → Buy Back → Burn, designed so real activity supports the coin over time.

CANDY has a total supply of 10 billion tokens.

What happens after the presale?

Two terms are worth knowing.

TGE (Token Generation Event): the moment the token officially goes live. At TGE, 10% of presale tokens unlock.

Vesting: the remaining 90% releases gradually, in a straight line, over 18 months.

Why vest at all? Releasing tokens gradually helps prevent a flood of selling the moment the token launches, which protects everyone, early buyers included. It does mean that most of your tokens won't be available to sell straight away, so plan accordingly.

How to join safely

1. Go to the official site only: cryptocandy.io. Bookmark it, and be wary of lookalike links in messages or ads.
2. Use your own wallet. You stay in control of your tokens.
3. Choose your amount and confirm the purchase.
4. Keep your seed phrase private. The CANDY team and CandyPulse will never ask for it.

There's a bonus for early movers, too: the first 500 presale participants receive a free Cardaxo Virtual Card plus a 20% bonus, under the official offer terms at cryptocandy.io.

Questions to ask yourself first

Before joining any presale, it's worth being honest with yourself:

• Can I afford to lose this money? If not, don't invest it.
• Am I comfortable waiting? With vesting over 18 months, this isn't a quick flip.
• Have I done my own research? Read the official materials, not just social media.
• Am I using official channels? Scammers often target presale buyers.

A simple way to think about your journey

It helps to see the presale as the first chapter, not the whole story. The real test for any token comes after launch, when its value depends on whether people actually use what's been built.

For CANDY, that means watching the ecosystem grow: more people spending with Cardaxo, playing CandyRush, trading on CandyBet when it launches, and hiring AI agents on the marketplace. Those are the signals that matter far more than any single round price.

So if you join, join with curiosity as well as caution. Follow the official updates, try the products, and judge the project by what it delivers.

Frequently asked questions

Is the pre-seed price the best price?
Pre-seed is the lowest-priced round in the presale. After listing, though, the price is set by the market, so there's no guarantee about where it will trade.

When can I sell my tokens?
10% of presale tokens unlock at TGE, when the token goes live. The other 90% releases gradually over 18 months.

What is the total supply of CANDY?
10 billion tokens. Our guide "CANDY Coin Tokenomics Explained" covers the full supply, allocation and vesting.

How do I know a site is the real presale?
The only official presale site is cryptocandy.io. Type it yourself or use a bookmark, and never follow presale links from unknown messages.

The bottom line

The pre-seed price of $0.0004 is the very first step on CANDY's journey, and the lowest-priced point in its stepped presale. It's an opportunity to get involved early with an ecosystem built around real products.

Like every presale, it comes with risk. Go in informed, use only official channels, and only commit what you're comfortable with.
