The Private Sale: reserving LONIDA before launch

The Private Sale lets you reserve LONIDA before general availability. It is a reservation rather than an instant purchase: you state an amount, you fund it in USDC, and the platform confirms your reservation once it sees the money arrive.

Limits

The rules in short

What you need to know before reserving

MinimumOptional
$10 per reservation.
MaximumOptional
$25,000 per reservation.
Total poolOptional
2,000,000 LONIDA across every reservation by everybody. It is first come, first served.
DeadlineOptional
The private sale window closes on 20 August 2026. After that, reservations are refused.

The pool is shared and finite

Because two million coins are shared across all participants, a large reservation can be refused simply because there is not enough left. If that happens you are told exactly how many LONIDA remain, so you can lower your amount and try again.

Steps

How to reserve

Make sure you have a wallet address

The private sale funds through your normal Lonida wallet address. If you have not generated one yet, do that first — the page will prompt you.

Enter your reservation amount

Anywhere from $10 to $25,000, subject to what is left in the pool. You are shown how much LONIDA that converts to.

Optionally set a refund address

A Polygon address beginning with 0x. This is where your USDC would be returned if a reservation ever could not be completed. It is optional, but setting it removes any ambiguity later.

Send the USDC

Send the matching USDC amount to your wallet address on the Polygon network. Nothing else is required from you after this.

Automatic

How funding is confirmed

There is no manual swap step and no button to press once you have sent the funds. The platform watches for a matching USDC balance at your address. As soon as it sees one, your reservation is marked as reserved and you receive a confirmation email.

Until that happens, your reservation sits in an awaiting-funding state, and the page will keep checking. If the balance never arrives, the reservation simply stays unfunded — nothing is taken from you.

Send the exact amount, on Polygon

Detection is based on seeing a matching USDC balance, so sending the exact figure on the Polygon network is what makes confirmation quick and unambiguous. As with all transfers here, the wrong network means the funds do not arrive at all.

Safety

Refunds

If Lonida is ever unable to complete a reservation, the USDC is refunded to your preferred wallet address — which is exactly what the optional refund address field is for. Setting it in advance means a refund needs no back-and-forth.

FAQ

Common questions

Is the refund address required?+

No, it is optional. But if it is empty and a refund ever becomes necessary, there is no address on file to send it to — so filling it in is a small effort that removes a future problem.

My reservation still says it is awaiting funding.+

The platform is waiting to see a matching USDC balance at your wallet address. Confirm you sent the right amount, to the right address, on the Polygon network.

Can I reserve more than once?+

Reservations are checked against the remaining pool at the time you make them, and each is subject to the $10 minimum and $25,000 maximum.

What happens after the window closes?+

Reservations are refused outright once the private sale has ended. The deadline is fixed.

Why was my amount rejected as too large?+

Either it exceeded the $25,000 per-reservation maximum, or there was not that much LONIDA left in the shared two-million pool. The message tells you which, and how much remains.
