We’ll explain when Upcoming Tokens become tradable, the difference between pre-launch and fair launch tokens, and what to expect after purchasing.
You can't sell an Upcoming Token straight away
Because the tokens listed in Upcoming Tokens are mainly pre-launch tokens, they're not available to be sold or traded instantly.
For example, if you purchase a pre-launch token like Best Wallet Token ($BEST), you won’t receive it straight away, and you won’t be able to trade it until the token officially launches.
When do Upcoming Tokens become tradable?
Pre-launch tokens can only be traded after:
The project’s pre-launch period ends
The Token Generation Event (TGE) takes place
The claiming window opens
The token launches on a decentralised exchange (DEX)
Once these steps are complete, you’ll be able to claim your tokens in Best Wallet and trade them freely.
Why are pre-launch tokens non-tradable at first?
Pre-launch tokens are part of a project’s early fundraising stage. They’re offered at a discounted rate before launch, but to maintain fair tokenomics and prevent early market disruption, they stay non-tradable until launch.
This gives the project team time to:
Set up liquidity pools
Finalise smart contracts
Coordinate a smooth launch on supported exchanges
How to track your pre-launch tokens
While your tokens are locked, you can still:
View their estimated value in the Upcoming Tokens tab
Track project milestones and launch updates
Receive notifications about claiming and launch events
How to claim your pre-launch tokens
When the claiming window opens, you’ll get a notification in Best Wallet. From there, you can:
Claim your tokens directly in the Upcoming Tokens tab
See them appear in your wallet
Trade them on supported decentralised exchanges
Read our general guide on how to claim pre-launch tokens.
Looking for tokens you can trade instantly?
If you want tokens that are immediately available to trade, look for fair launch tokens in the Upcoming Tokens tab, as well as any token in our Buy feature. These are sent to your wallet instantly after purchase and can be traded right away.
