The OKX Jumpstart platform offers a unique opportunity for users to participate in early-stage token sales for promising projects. This event-centered model allows holders of the platform's native token to gain access to new digital assets before they hit the open market. The process is designed to be transparent and rewards long-term supporters of the ecosystem.
A key feature of these sales is the allotment system, which calculates a user's allocation based on their token holdings over a specific snapshot period. This mechanism aims to ensure a fair distribution and prevent last-minute, large-scale purchases meant to game the system. Participants must also meet certain eligibility criteria, including identity verification and historical trading volume requirements, to maintain the integrity of the event.
Key Details of the TAKI Token Sale
The sale for the TAKI token followed a structured format common to Jumpstart events. The specific parameters were set to manage the distribution efficiently.
Event Timeline:
- Pledging Window: A defined 8-hour period for users to commit their funds.
- Snapshot Period: A 3-day window concluding before the sale, during which user holdings were randomly snapshotted to determine their allotment coefficient.
Sale Parameters:
- Token Price: Each TAKI token was offered at a fixed price during the sale.
- Session Supply: A total of 9,000,000 TAKI tokens were allocated for this specific sale session.
- Pledge Limits: Individual users were subject to minimum and maximum pledge amounts to promote broad participation.
The exchange ratio, determining how much OKB was required to purchase one TAKI token, was finalized just before the sale based on the prevailing market price of OKB. This ensured the USD value of the commitment was consistent.
How the Allotment Coefficient Was Calculated
Your allotment coefficient was the most critical factor in determining how many TAKI tokens you received. This coefficient was not based on a single moment in time but on a 3-day snapshot period.
The system calculated two key metrics from your daily random snapshots:
- Minimum Holding: The lowest amount of OKB held in your account across the three days.
- Average Holding: The mean average of your OKB holdings over the same three-day period.
Your final allotment coefficient was the higher value derived from these two metrics. This approach benefited users who maintained a consistent holding, as a single low snapshot would not drastically reduce their final coefficient. The OKB had to be in your Funding, Trade, or Finance Account to be included in the snapshots.

Step-by-Step Participation Guide
Participating in a Jumpstart token sale involves a clear process, from preparation to receiving your tokens.
Preparing for the Sale
The preparation phase is crucial. To maximize your allotment coefficient, you needed to hold OKB in your eligible OKX accounts for the entire 3-day snapshot period preceding the sale. Consistently holding a larger amount directly increased your coefficient, thereby boosting your potential token allocation.
Committing Funds During the Sale
When the pledging window opened, you could commit your OKB to the sale. The system only accepted OKB for participation. The exact amount of OKB required per TAKI token was confirmed just before the sale based on the live OKB market price.
Receiving Your Allocated Tokens
Once the pledging period concluded, the allotment process began. The system calculated each user's final token allocation using a formula that considered their individual pledge amount and allotment coefficient relative to the total pledges from all participants. After calculation, the allocated TAKI tokens were automatically credited to users' Funding Accounts, and the corresponding amount of OKB used for purchase was deducted. Any unused OKB from the pledge was released back to the user.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is OKX Jumpstart?
OKX Jumpstart is a platform feature that allows OKB holders to subscribe to and purchase new tokens from early-stage blockchain projects. It provides a way for users to access tokens before they are listed on public exchanges, often at a favorable price.
How was the allotment coefficient calculated?
The coefficient was determined by taking snapshots of your OKB holdings over three consecutive days. The system calculated both your minimum daily holding and your average holding over that period. Your final coefficient was the higher value from these two calculations, based on a predefined table. This rewarded consistent holding.
Who was eligible to participate in the TAKI sale?
Eligibility required being a user from a non-restricted country who had completed the necessary identity verification (KYC Level 2). Additionally, users needed to have an accumulated trading volume exceeding a specific threshold on the platform in the 30 days leading up to the sale.
What happened to my OKB after I pledged it?
After the sale ended, the OKB used to purchase your allocated TAKI tokens was deducted from your account. If you pledged more OKB than was needed for your final token allocation, the remaining, unused OKB was released from hold and returned to your available balance.
When were the purchased TAKI tokens distributed?
The TAKI tokens were distributed to participants' Funding Accounts shortly after the pledging period concluded and the allotment calculations were complete. The tokens were typically available for trading or withdrawal once the distribution was finalized.
Could users from any country participate?
No, participation was restricted based on geographic location. Users from a specific list of countries and regions, including the United States, Canada (Ontario and Quebec), and several others, were prohibited from joining the sale due to regulatory considerations.
