ChainGPT Pad - Pool Types & Lifecycle Phases

ChainGPT Pad - pool types and lifecycle phases (reference for answering launchpad questions; as of 2026-06-23).

Two kinds of pools

ChainGPT Pad has TWO distinct pool categories:

• Staking pools - stake CGPT to earn Launchpad tier points (which set your IDO allocation) and rewards. CGPT on BNB Chain. See the staking pools list.
• Campaign pools - a project's token launch / distribution event. These have several types and run through lifecycle phases (below).

Campaign pool types

• Public Sale (Subscription) - overflow/subscription public token sale.
• Standard IDO (Tiered) - tiered IDO; allocation by staking tier.
• Diamond IDO - premium IDO tier.
• Private Sale - private/early allocation round.
• Buzzdrop and IBO - 'Buzz' campaigns: complete social tasks (buzz) + register to earn a token allocation/airdrop. (Buzzdrop has v1 and v2.)
• Launchdrop - launch-time airdrop/distribution campaign.
• Giveaway / CGPT Gifts - giveaway-style distributions.
• Node Sale - sale of node licences.
• Acceleration, and Labs Incubation variants (Seed / Private / IDO / Flash Sale / Giveaway 'Labs Incubation') - incubation-program campaigns.

Lifecycle phases - when a campaign is LIVE

A campaign is LIVE (joinable now) when its REGISTRATION window or its SALE window is currently open. Specifically:

• Buzz campaigns (Buzzdrop / IBO): Upcoming -> Buzz & Registration (LIVE) -> Buzz Ended (Audit) -> Claim Rewards -> Ended. A Buzz campaign IS LIVE during its 'Buzz & Registration' phase, i.e. while its registration window is open - even if its raw status still reads 'Upcoming'. Do NOT call a Buzz campaign in Buzz & Registration 'upcoming'.
• Sale / IDO campaigns: Upcoming -> Registration -> Guaranteed round (phase 1) -> FCFS (phase 2, first-come-first-served) -> Filled (sold out) -> Claim -> Ended.

So 'what's live now?' = campaigns whose registration or sale window is currently open, PLUS Buzz campaigns in their Buzz & Registration phase. 'Upcoming' = announced but not yet open. 'Ended' = sale finished (may still have a claim window). Live data is synced regularly from the Pad API; for the absolute latest always point users to https://pad.chaingpt.org.
