IGO/IDO definition 1

Acronyms for Initial Game Offering / Initial DEX Offering. Essentially new ways crypto projects raise money. In online hustle talk, participating in an IDO is like getting in early to flip a new token. It's niche slang among crypto-savvy Africans on forums.

"Nilichemka kujoin IDO ya coin fulani – token ilitoka ikadump, pesa yangu ilienda. (Swahili: I made a mistake joining some coin's IDO – when the token launched it dumped, and my money was gone.)"
