What are Upcoming Tokens?
Upcoming Tokens is a catch-all term in Best Wallet, referring to all the projects that are featured in-app. These can include pre-launch tokens and fair launch tokens!
It's important to note that these projects are completely separate from Best Wallet and are not run, managed, or organised by Best Wallet (apart from the Best Wallet Token pre-launch sale). New projects are vetted and then featured in Upcoming Tokens to give Best Wallet users early access and exclusive rewards!
The main type of upcoming token is pre-launch tokens, which are cryptocurrencies offered by new projects before they are live on a blockchain. These tokens are sold directly to early supporters, often at heavily discounted rates.
Pre-launch sales help projects raise funds and build support while giving early buyers a chance to invest at lower prices. Discounts are typically offered in phases, meaning earlier buyers secure the best prices.
How do I buy an Upcoming Token?
Traditionally, buying a pre-launch token often required complicated steps, such as connecting wallets to third-party websites and manually claiming tokens after launch. Best Wallet’s Upcoming Tokens feature removes this complexity and makes it easy to buy pre-launch and fair launch tokens.
With Upcoming Tokens, you can:
Browse new and exciting projects directly in-app.
Learn about each project through its informative project page, including milestones, tokenomics, and its roadmap.
Buy a project's tokens in-app using crypto in your wallet or your bank card.
Track your purchased tokens within the app until the claim period.
Claim your tokens seamlessly once they’re available.
All these steps are handled within your wallet, saving time and eliminating confusion.
Why buy tokens through Upcoming Tokens?
Best Wallet’s Upcoming Tokens feature is designed to make buying pre-launch and fair launch tokens straightforward:
Curated Projects: Every project in the Upcoming Tokens tab is carefully reviewed. Each project has a dedicated information page with transparent tokenomics, milestones, and community size available at a glance.
Instant Tracking: Your token balance updates immediately after purchase, so you can monitor your holdings and their value right in the app.
App Notifications and Updates: Receive alerts about milestones, claim periods, and important project updates via email or in-app notifications.
How to track and claim your Upcoming Tokens purchases
Once you purchase a pre-launch token in Upcoming Tokens, you can:
Track Your Balance: See your pre-launch tokens in the Upcoming Tokens tab, including their dollar value.
Stay Updated: Get notified when the claim period starts, along with tips on claiming your tokens. You can turn on notifications in your Best Wallet app on the Settings page.
Claim in-App: Unlike other wallets, you can claim your pre-launch tokens directly in Best Wallet.
Why you won't receive your new tokens instantly in Upcoming Tokens
If you purchase a pre-launch token, you won't receive it straight after your purchase. When you buy pre-launch tokens, think of it as reserving them. The tokens aren’t available to use until the token officially launches on the blockchain.
Once the project is live, you’ll need to claim your tokens, which you can do within the Upcoming Tokens tab.
This delayed access is standard for pre-launch projects and ensures tokens are distributed securely and fairly at launch.
However, if you buy a fair launch token in Upcoming Tokens, you receive it instantly and be able to trade it straight away!
