How to Participate in TransferMole’s IDO on Starter

4 min readFeb 4, 2025

TransferMole is the next project launching with Starter on Base, transforming the way we send and receive payments.

This is your opportunity to get in early on $AIPAY, the native token powering seamless cross-border transactions, social commerce payments, and gasless transfers.

Here’s how you can secure your allocation in the TransferMole IDO happening Wednesday, February 5th, at 3PM UTC on Starter.xyz.

Step 1: Buy $BUIDL

To participate in TransferMole’s IDO, you must hold and stake $BUIDL tokens or own a BUIDLER NFT (no staking required).

You can buy $BUIDL or a BUIDLER NFT on:

Step 2: Stake $BUIDL on Starter

After purchasing $BUIDL tokens, visit Starter.xyz’s Staking page.

Click on Staking Pools.
Select the BUIDL pool to stake your tokens.
Connect your selected wallet.

Your staking tier determines your IDO eligibility and allocation. The more $BUIDL you stake, the greater your access and benefits.

For more details, check out our docs here.

Step 3: Check Your Eligibility

Your tier will determine your participation round and allocation:

5000 $BUIDL: Entry into the first-come-first-served (FCFS) tier.
50,000 $BUIDL: Guaranteed allocation during the Head Start round, with an allocation based on the amount staked. The Guaranteed Allocation (GA) is initially smaller, but you can buy more up to the maximum wallet limit in the later stages.
125,000+ $BUIDL: Access to Gold Tier benefits, including private sales, and exclusive perks.
250,000+ $BUIDL: All of the Platinum and Gold Tier benefits, plus access to our private VIP investor club.
