Starter is thrilled to announce the launch of its native token, $BUIDL, through an upcoming IDO set for March 28th. Hosted on Starter’s platform built on the Base chain, this event marks a monumental leap forward for both the project and the wider crypto community.

About Starter

Since our inception in 2021, Starter Labs has been a pioneer in blockchain-based product research and development. Fuelled by a relentless drive for innovation, we’ve become a cornerstone in facilitating secure and seamless fundraising for emerging projects within the crypto space.

Amidst the tumultuous waves of the 2022 bear market, we showcased resilience in the face of adversity. In an industry characterized by volatile market conditions, the ability to weather storms becomes paramount. Despite the challenges, we remained steadfast in our pursuit of progress, demonstrating unwavering dedication to our vision.

It is during such trying times that the true strength and commitment of projects is tested, and Starter emerged as a beacon of resilience. Our steadfast commitment to innovation paved the way for groundbreaking initiatives like the Atlanta Blockchain Center — an immersive incubator and events hub nestled in the vibrant city of Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

Atlanta Blockchain Center Grand Opening

Serving as a nucleus for blockchain enthusiasts, the Atlanta Blockchain Center offers more than just a physical space — it fosters a vibrant ecosystem of collaboration, education, and networking. From coworking spaces to educational programs and networking events, the center serves as a catalyst for driving innovation and fostering community spirit within the blockchain landscape. Since inception, we’ve hosted over 100+ weekly events featuring guest speakers from renowned organizations such as Hedera, Coinbase, the FBI, BitPay, Mastercard, Circle and many others.

At Starter Labs, we believe that true innovation thrives in environments where collaboration and community are nurtured. During the bear market, over 20 companies have graduated from our Immutable Founders IRL incubator program. Through initiatives like the Atlanta Blockchain Center, we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible, paving the way for a brighter, more interconnected future in the blockchain space.

How to Prepare for $BUIDL IDO

The $BUIDL token will be distributed through a token sale on the Starter platform itself, built on the Base chain. To participate in the upcoming IDO, follow these steps:

1. Prepare Your Wallet

Ensure you have a compatible wallet ready to participate in the IDO. This includes wallets such as Coinbase wallet or MetaMask that support the Base chain.

  • Open the MetaMask browser extension.
  • Access the network selection dropdown menu by clicking the dropdown button at the top of the extension.
  • Click the Add network button.

Network Name: Base Mainnet

New RPC URL: https://mainnet.base.org

Chain ID: 8453

2. Fund Your Wallet with $ETH

As ETH serves as the primary currency for transactions on the Base chain, participants can fund their wallets by purchasing ETH from a cryptocurrency exchange (CEX) like Coinbase or Bybit. Once acquired, simply transfer the ETH to your wallet via the Base network.

3. Purchase $BUIDL with $USDC

During the IDO, participants will be required to purchase $BUIDL tokens using $USDC. The minimum that a wallet can purchase is $500 USD, while the maximum is $1000 USD, providing an opportunity for widespread participation.

To acquire USDC in your Coinbase wallet or MetaMask you can transfer $USDC from a CEX (Coinbase). Another option is to swap some of your $ETH to $USDC through the Aerodome DEX.
