Create a Private Sale
How to create a Private Sale on CookieSale
Private Sales are the sale of coins or tokens to specific early investors. These types of sales are usually unannounced and not revealed to the general public. The goal is to attract prominent early investors to fund the project in exchange for tokens that may yield high returns.
Please note that a mandatory KYC through CookieSale is required for hosting a Private Sale on our platform. This must be done anytime prior to the Private Sale going live. If a KYC is not done by then, your Private Sale will be cancelled with no refund.

Air dropping tokens and enabling trading before your contract is live can leave it vulnerable for anyone to add LP. If LP has been added prior, you will have to cancel your presale and redeploy your contract. It's recommended you do not airdrop private sale tokens until AFTER the token has gone through it's presale and/or is live trading. You should be in control of the entire token supply prior to listing your presale.
Step 8: Activate Private Sale
After selecting 'Approve', Metamask will prompt you for the 0.5 BNB fee to generate a pool. Select 'Confirm' to finish the Private Sale creation process. You will now be able to view your Private Sale Page on the 'Private Sale List'.
