CoinTerminal adds a Chainlink-verified $15 K lottery to every refundable IDO sale
With no staking requirement and a 24-hour refund window, CoinTerminal lets retail investors join early-stage crypto deals once limited to big players

CoinTerminal, a rapidly expanding IDO launchpad that opens early-stage projects to everyone, has launched a new $15,000 lottery. One winner from the participants will pocket $10,000, while the two runners-up will receive $2,500 each. Anyone who joins a sale is automatically entered, even if they later ask for a refund.

Unlike the entry-gated raffles common on other platforms, in CoinTerminal’s draw, every buyer is automatically entered. To ensure the lottery is fair, Randomness will be done via Chainlink VRF to ensure every result is verifiably fair and fully on-chain.

CoinTerminal’s Founder, Hatu Sheikh the mission for this to remove barriers for investors, insisting the new lottery is both a gesture of gratitude to the community and proof of the platform’s provably fair, refundable sales model.

How Refundable Sales Work

CoinTerminal’s model lets investors claim their purchased tokens or take a full refund. Typically, this can be done within 24 hours of the Token Generation Event, no questions asked. 

The policy removes much of the downside risk that often shadows early-stage projects, while the new lottery adds upside with zero extra cost.

By shunning native-token staking requirements, CoinTerminal has opened the door for retail investors to join deals previously reserved for well-funded insiders. That policy has let everyday users invest alongside heavyweights such as Binance Labs, Samsung NEXT, Animoca Brands, and Arthur Hayes..
