Frequently Asked Questions about Fjord.

General FAQ

What is the difference between Partnered and Unvetted sales on Fjord?

Partnered sales are supported by third-party launch partners who have conducted their own due diligence on the project. These sales are curated, receive enhanced visibility on the Fjord platform, and are often supported with additional marketing and strategic resources.

Unvetted sales are permissionless and automatically listed on Fjord from the blockchain. These sales carry no endorsement or review from Fjord or any third party and include additional disclaimers. Participants must acknowledge the risks before proceeding.

Can I conduct a sale for tokens that are already live or trading?

Yes. You can use Fjord to run a sale with tokens that are already live or listed on exchanges. This can be structured similarly to a Series A or B funding round, allowing you to divest treasury tokens in exchange for new capital. You can also attach vesting to those tokens to help manage post-sale sell pressure and signal long-term alignment.

What chains can I launch on?

Fjord supports a wide range of EVM-compatible chains, including:

• Ethereum

• Polygon

• Arbitrum

• Optimism

• Avalanche

• BNB Chain

• Base

• Blast

• Sonic

We also support cross-chain participation via Axelar, meaning contributors can buy into your sale from nearly any EVM chain using liquid tokens.

---

Can I restrict access by geography or country?

Yes. During the sale creation process, you can block participants from specific countries or regions in accordance with your legal and compliance obligations. This is managed via geofencing logic embedded in the frontend UI and enforced at the wallet level.

---

Does Fjord support KYC?

Fjord does not directly perform KYC but can configure the frontend for whitelisted/KYC-only sales. You will be responsible for working with a third-party KYC provider, managing approvals, and uploading the list of approved wallet addresses to the platform prior to launch.

When are tokens distributed to participants?

Tokens are never distributed during the sale. They are claimable only after the sale ends. This protects the sale from premature LP setups and ensures sale integrity. If vesting is enabled, tokens will be streamed via Sablier and users will see a live link to their vesting stream. You may also apply a short claim delay post-sale to allow time to establish liquidity before claims begin.

What tokens can be accepted in my sale?

By default, Fjord supports contributions in:

• USDC

• USDT

• WETH

• DAI

We can also support custom tokens as the accepted payment asset on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out to the team if you require this functionality.

---

What tokens do I need to deploy before launching?

You will need a mintable ERC-20 token contract with the full sale supply available at the time of deployment. If you're conducting a placeholder token sale, you can sell a temporary representation of your future token, then redeem it post-TGE.

---

What fees does Fjord charge?

Fjord charges:

• A 5% fee on the total amount raised in the accepted collateral token (e.g. USDC, WETH). This fee is automatically transferred to Fjord at the conclusion of the sale.

---

How much liquidity should I deposit after the sale?

While Fjord cannot offer financial advice, you should plan to deposit sufficient liquidity on a DEX if you want the token to be tradable after the sale. Most projects pair with USDC or WETH on the same chain as the sale. Many also match a portion of raised funds 1:1 with tokens to create the initial LP.liance demands.
