Whitelist pre-sale and Crowdsale features and warnings
ONLY Ethereum (ETH) cryptocurrency will be accepted in contributions.

Sending other cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin — BTC, Litecoin — LTC etc.) at the process of contributing will result in a permanent loss due to technical limitations of the process.
WARNING: Use PRIVATE Ethereum wallets for contributing, NOT Online Exchange accounts.
Please do NOT send Ethereum from Online Exchanges (Bitstamp, Kraken, Bittrex, Livecoin, Bitfinex etc.). Each of Ethereum addresses at Online exchanges are specially dedicated for only one cryptocurrency (e.g. Ethereum) and are unable to handle issued IPL Tokens. Sending Ethereum directly from Online Exchange account will most probably result in a permanent loss of your IPL Tokens or at least months of negotiating with Online Exchange’s Support.
Create and contribute from your own, private, ERC-20 compatible, Ethereum wallet. There are several ways to create your own wallet, we will describe some in later steps.
Phases are time limited
Contributions in Ethereum will only be accepted in certain time frames, that will be publicly announced on our webpage and social media. Please be sure not to miss your opportunity to contribute due to preparation process. Be aware that some steps can be time consuming, for example:
verification (if needed) on the Online Exchange (up to 2 weeks),
bank transfers (2–5 working days),
confirmation of your KYC personal data (depends on the amount of applications).
STEP 1: Open a private Ethereum wallet
There are several ways to open your private Ethereum wallet. What does it mean that it is “private”? It means, that you have the access to your private key, a string of numbers and letters, that must always stay secured — never share it with anyone. For security reasons, these private keys are often additionally encrypted with your own password.
General (most common) Ethereum wallet use-cases:
keystore file (UTC/JSON) + password, generated on MyEtherWallet.com web page and saved on several secured locations (recommended option),
full node, desktop software solutions — Mist, Parity. Wallet synchronization can take up to several days. (good choice for advanced users),
hardware wallets, such as Trezor and Ledger, that will keep your private keys secured (advanced use-case, recommended for increased security) and
metamask for usage in browsers (for advanced users only).
