What is the difference between an ICO, IEO, and IDO?

The main difference lies in where the token sale is conducted and how investors participate.

• ICO (Initial Coin Offering): The project team sells tokens directly through its own platform. ICO development typically involves creating secure smart contracts, tokenomics, investor dashboards, KYC/AML integration, and a token sale platform.
• IEO (Initial Exchange Offering): The token sale is managed by a centralized cryptocurrency exchange, which usually handles project verification, investor onboarding, and the fundraising process.
• IDO (Initial DEX Offering): The token launch takes place on a decentralized exchange (DEX), allowing community participation, faster listings, and immediate liquidity.

Each fundraising model has its own advantages. The right choice depends on your business goals, compliance requirements, target investors, and preferred launch strategy.
