# Registering for the IDO

We do not provide manual registration assistance for forgotten registrations; this process must be completed during the designated registration period. Additionally, we do not allocate whitelist spots or modify registered wallets in case of accessibility issues (e.g., vacation, technical difficulties).

Registration is a mandatory step to accurately determine the base allocation for each IDO/sale. Stakers who choose not to participate will not factor into the calculation, ensuring a higher base allocation.

The typical registration timeline is as follows:

•             Opens 48 hours before the sale commences.

•             Closes 6 hours before the sale begins.

To reiterate, it is essential to register for the IDO on the project pool page to qualify for participation.
