What is Saleium? Self-serve token tooling on your own brand and domain

Updated Jun 21, 2026, 09:47 AM

Saleium is a self-serve SaaS platform that lets any project run its own token tooling, a Token Sale, Staking, Vesting, and Airdrop, under its own brand and domain, powered by ChainGPT Pad, while you keep full ownership of your contracts and funds.

Who this is for: Both. Project operators who want to launch and run token products on their own turf, and participants who want to understand the platform behind the page they are interacting with.

What is Saleium?

Saleium is best described as the "Stripe or Shopify for token distribution." It gives projects and teams a dashboard to spin up token tooling without building the contracts and infrastructure themselves. You connect a wallet, pick a chain, fill a short wizard, and deploy from your own wallet. The dashboard lives at https://saleium.io.

The defining trait is that it is non-custodial on the self-serve route. You deploy your own smart contracts from your own wallet, and you own them. Saleium never takes custody of your contracts or funds. You pay the network gas for the deploy yourself.

Which Saleium is this?

This documentation covers the Saleium self-serve platform at https://saleium.io, where you sign up and deploy your own Token Sale, Staking, Vesting, and Airdrop. On this platform the Token Sale is fixed price: your allocation is the amount you contribute multiplied by the rate, with no oversubscription, no pro-rata scaling, and no excess refunds.

ChainGPT also offers a separate, older embeddable Saleium token-sale widget at pad.chaingpt.org/saleium, powered by ChainGPT Pad's subscription sale. That widget works differently: it uses oversubscription with pro-rata final allocation and excess refunds. So if someone mentions oversubscription or excess refunds on Saleium, they mean that widget, not the saleium.io platform. If you are using the saleium.io dashboard, this documentation applies; if you embedded the older Pad-powered widget, follow its own page instead.

What are the four products?

Saleium offers four token products, each with its own guided wizard:

Token Sale - run a public token sale on your own domain.
Staking - create staking pools for your token.
Vesting - set up vesting strategies for recipients.
Airdrop - distribute tokens to a list of recipients.

Airdrop is open on the Free plan. Sale, Staking, and Vesting deploys are gated to the Growth plan and above.

How do own-domain and own-brand work?

Saleium is infrastructure, not a destination. Instead of sending your community to a shared marketplace, you run the product on your own brand and domain with the same proven rails underneath. Embed Studio in the dashboard helps you surface these products on your own site. On paid plans the "Powered by Saleium" watermark is removed, so the experience appears fully under your brand.

How do I use Saleium?

Go to https://saleium.io and connect a wallet.
Pick a chain from the in-app chain selector.
Open the product you want (Token Sale, Staking, Vesting, or Airdrop) and fill the short wizard.
Review the details, including the platform fee that applies to the product (15% of a successful raise for a Sale, 5% of rewards for Staking, 1% of tokens funded for Vesting, no platform fee for Airdrop), which is stamped immutably into your contract at deploy.
Deploy from your own wallet and pay the network gas.

The deploy flow moves through phases (drafting, deploying, recording, done) and then shows a "Deployed" card with your new contract address and next steps.

Which chains does Saleium support?

The live chains shown in the in-app chain selector include BNB Chain, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, and Avalanche. Always check the in-app chain selector for the current live list rather than relying on a memorized set, since the live list is the source of truth.

How is Saleium different from ChainGPT Pad?

ChainGPT Pad is a curated launchpad destination. Projects apply, and users come to pad.chaingpt.org to join IDOs. Saleium is infrastructure. You run the sale yourself, on your own domain and brand, with the same rails underneath.

Use Pad to tap ChainGPT's audience and curation. Use Saleium to own the launch moment on your own turf. Running both at once (Mirror Mode) is an option arranged with the ChainGPT team, not a self-serve toggle.

For project operators

You are the one connecting a wallet, configuring products in the wizards, and deploying. Because the self-serve route is non-custodial, the contracts you deploy are yours to own and control. Your plan determines which products you can deploy, how many instances, raise caps, recipient limits, your platform-fee discount, and whether the watermark is removed.

For participants

If you are interacting with a token sale, staking pool, vesting claim, or airdrop that runs on Saleium, you are using a product the project deployed and owns. Saleium provides the rails, and the project runs the launch on its own brand and domain.

How much does it cost?

The plans are: Free ($0), Growth ($99/mo), Pro ($499/mo), Business ($999/mo), and Enterprise (custom, "Book a call"). Annual billing saves 33%. You upgrade in-app via Stripe checkout for Growth, Pro, and Business. If online checkout is not available you will be told to contact [email protected]. For Enterprise or custom terms, book a call at https://saleium.io/enterprise. See the Saleium plans and pricing article for full plan limits.

What about platform fees?

Each product has its own platform fee, and the fee is stamped immutably into your contract at deploy. The platform can never raise it later, and your plan can only lower it.

Token Sale: 15% of a successful raise. The project pays this, taken from the raised funds when the project withdraws them. It does not reduce a contributor's token allocation. A project may add its own markup of up to 10% on top, which the project keeps, so a contributor may see up to about 25% taken from the raise if a project sets the maximum markup. If a sale fails or times out, contributors pay a 5% refund fee, deducted from their refund.
Staking: 5% of rewards, taken from reward payouts. Your plan lowers it: Growth 4.75%, Pro 4.5%, Business 3.75%.
Vesting: 1% of the tokens is taken when the project funds the vesting pool, charged on each funding. When a beneficiary claims, they pay a small per-claim fee in the network's gas token, about $1 worth or the claim's gas cost, whichever is higher.
Airdrop: No platform fee. You pay only network gas.

A higher plan lowers your platform fees: Growth 5% off, Pro 10% off, and Business 25% off (Free 0%). The Plans & Billing page shows the exact rates for your plan, so check there for the exact number that applies to you.

Common issues

"Why can't I deploy a sale, staking pool, or vesting strategy?" Those three products are gated to the Growth plan and above. On the Free plan you can run Airdrops only. Upgrade on the Plans & Billing page to unlock the others.
"What is the platform fee percentage?" It depends on the product. Sale is 15% of a successful raise (paid by the project from the raise, plus an optional project markup of up to 10%; contributors pay a 5% fee only on a refund if a sale fails). Staking is 5% of rewards. Vesting is 1% of tokens funded plus a small per-claim gas-token fee for beneficiaries. Airdrops have no platform fee, only network gas. Your plan can lower the platform fee, and the Plans & Billing page shows your exact rate.
"My chain is not listed." Check the in-app chain selector, which reflects the current live list of supported chains.
