Dear Steemians and Dtubers,

Since the announcement of the first DTube token sale round [here](https://steemit.com/dtube/@dtube/dtube-is-launching-its-first-ever-dtc-token-sale-round), we have explained with more details the different steps in the coming months for DTube to launch its full token economy (check the full roadmap [here](https://steemit.com/dtube/@dtube/dtc-token-launch-the-full-roadmap-ieo-airdrop-mainnet) if you missed it)

Today, we are focusing on the details about this first round that will start **September 20th, 2019**.

## What is this token sale for ?

### Funding the IEO

DTube will conduct a first token sale as a **seed funding for its upcoming Initial Exchange Offering (IEO)**.

As most of the businesses built on top of Steem, the (very) low market price for the Steem token hits our financial power pretty hard.

For the sake of our IEO, we are willing to collect **$100,000** to fund the following expenses:
* Legal compliance, Terms & Conditions, utility token legal opinion: $40,000
* Exchange fees for 2 IEO rounds: $40,000
* Marketing boost: $20,000

### Onboard the best Exchange

We are counting on the whole Steem community to make this first round as successful as possible. Why?

Because this will be a great determiner to the success of DTube's IEO:
* First, we are currently in talks with some of the world's very top exchanges. A fast sale will greatly help to convince them in accepting our IEO project
* Second, a successful IEO of a Steem DApp will bring strong confidence from crypto markets and investors in our ecosystem. Other DApps will follow!

## What's in for investors in this round ?

We will conduct the first ever DTC token sale round, that will guarantee the **highest bonus** of all following rounds, so don't miss this one!

### Token sale details
We will conduct the sale on the dedicated DTube token page (to be released very soon).

**When will I receive my DTCs?**
Investors will buy the real DTC utility token, i.e: no need for an ERC-20 and no need to swap the token.
* We will start the DTube Chain Mainnet for the sake of this token sale. Investors will be able to check their balance on your channel on the DTube interface.

**When will the token be tradable?**
DTC is a transferable asset, but it won't be exchangeable during the token sale period. You can expect to be able to trade it by Q4, 2019.

* How many tokens for sale in round #1: 1 Million
* Total amount that will be sold to investors: 25 Million
