What this page covers
This guide walks through the complete process of buying $EDM during the active presale. We cover the progressive pricing where the public price sits at $0.216 today, the final pre-listing tranche prices at $0.30, and exchange listing prices at $1.00, the six-step buying flow on the official purchase portal at purchase.edma.app, and the post-purchase vesting mechanics that govern when your $EDM becomes claimable.
The presale is currently at approximately $0.216 per $EDM, with the final pre-listing tranche priced at $0.30. Capital raised to date totals approximately $4.1M from 15,800+ holders. Total presale allocation is 220M $EDM, representing 44% of the 500M total supply. Listing price at exchange launch will be $1.00; secondary market trading begins with locked liquidity provisioned at launch.
How stage pricing works
Each tranche has a fixed price and a fixed allocation. Once a tranche's allocation is exhausted, the price automatically advances to the next tranche. This progressive structure rewards earlier supporters with lower entry prices while pacing capital inflow with platform milestone delivery. Tranches are not time-boxed; they advance purely based on tokens sold.
Current pricing dynamics: the public price displayed on the purchase portal is approximately $0.216 at the time of writing. The final pre-listing tranche prices at $0.30; once that allocation closes, the presale ends and the next available price is the $1.00 exchange listing. The exact price you pay is determined by which tranche is active at the moment of transaction confirmation; the portal displays the current price in real time. There is no slippage or price impact mechanic — you receive $EDM at exactly the displayed price.
Visit purchase.edma.app and click Connect Wallet. The portal supports MetaMask (browser extension and mobile app), WalletConnect (Trust Wallet, Rainbow, Coinbase Wallet, others), and Coinbase Wallet direct integration. The wallet handshake is read-only at this stage; you authorize transactions individually later in the flow.
The presale contract lives on Ethereum mainnet (chain ID 1). If your wallet is set to a different network, the portal prompts you to switch. Click Approve in the wallet pop-up. The switch is instant; no funds move. If you do not have Ethereum mainnet configured, the portal can add it automatically.
Select ETH or USDT as your payment currency. ETH conversions use a live oracle price feed at the time of transaction; USDT pays at the pegged 1:1 dollar value. Both options route through the same purchase contract and deliver the same $EDM allocation at the prevailing stage price. Choose whichever currency you already hold; gas fees are paid in ETH regardless.
Enter the amount of ETH or USDT you wish to spend. The portal calculates the corresponding $EDM allocation at the current stage price (approximately $0.216 per $EDM at the time of writing). Click Buy $EDM to initiate the transaction. The wallet pops up for transaction signing; review the gas fee and approve. The transaction typically confirms within 1-3 blocks.
Once the transaction confirms on Ethereum mainnet, your $EDM allocation is recorded against your wallet address. You can verify the balance on the portal dashboard. Note: $EDM is not transferable during the lock period; the balance is visible but locked. To see the token in MetaMask, import it manually using the contract address (see Import to MetaMask).
Visit edma.app/vesting-page to track your vesting schedule. Presale participants are subject to a 12-month lock followed by 20% unlock every 3 months (5 quarterly unlocks over 15 months). The dashboard shows your current locked balance, next unlock date, and historical claim records. Unlocks become claimable automatically; tokens move to your wallet on claim.
After purchase: vesting and claiming
Vesting schedule for presale participants: 100% of your purchased $EDM is allocated to your wallet address at the moment of purchase. The tokens are subject to a 12-month lock from Token Generation Event (TGE), followed by 20% unlock every 3 months across five quarterly tranches over 15 months. Total time from TGE to fully unlocked: 27 months.
Claiming unlocked tokens: as each quarterly tranche unlocks, the tokens become claimable. The vesting dashboard at edma.app/vesting-page shows your current locked balance, next unlock date, and a Claim button when tokens are available. Claiming moves the unlocked $EDM to your wallet, where they become transferable and stakeable. You can also leave tokens unclaimed indefinitely; they remain in the vesting contract and can be claimed any time after unlock.
Token transferability: $EDM is not transferable during the lock period. The balance is recorded against your wallet but cannot be moved or sold. After claim, $EDM operates as a standard ERC-20 token: transferable, stakeable, usable across the EDMA platform and on secondary markets.
