Important: Minimum IDO Tier Has Increased From 250 to 1,000 $POLS
You will now need 1,000+ POLS Power to participate in Polkastarter IDOs
Polkastarter base tier increases to 1,000 POLS Power effective immediately. This means that from now on and for the next IDO, only participants with +1,000 POLS Power will be accepted for the allowlist.
1,000 POLS Power is now a minimum tier
After closely examining the current $POLS tier structure and comparing it to the early fundraising market we navigate, we decided to upgrade the entry-level tier.
From the next IDO, we are raising the minimum tier from 250 POLS Power to 1,000 POLS Power. This change means all users will now need at least 1,000 $POLS tokens in holding or staking (or equivalent in LP tokens) to join our community.
Need to upgrade too? Now might be your lucky time to increase your POLS Power tier by one or two levels while also elevating your allowlist winning chances.
Why is the entry-level tier being upgraded?
The price of $POLS has changed over time together with the altcoin market and our current minimum requirement for entering the community is simply very low. Many existing users bought their $POLS bags for much more than the current price equivalent of their tiers and we want to level up the game for them.
Even with the 1,000 POLS Power requirement, the $POLS entry price is still significantly lower than our competitors. Considering the quality of opportunities that Polkastarter brings to its community, we decided that it’s only fair and reasonable to upgrade the tier structure.
About the new tier structure
Our new structure is very similar to the previous one and includes 5 distinct tiers. Every tier provides you with a special booster that increases your chance of winning a spot on the allowlist as you progress through the tiers.

Upgraded POLS Power tiers with boosters are as follows:
- Tier 1,000+ POLS Power = 1.1x — Every ticket is worth 1.1 tickets.
- Tier 3,000+ POLS Power = 1.15x — Every ticket is worth 1.15 tickets.
- Tier 10,000+ POLS Power = 1.20x — Every ticket is worth 1.20 tickets.
- Tier 30,000+ POLS Power = 1.25x — Every ticket is worth 1.25 tickets & No Cooldown.
- Tier 50,000+ POLS Power = Guaranteed Allowlist Approval, No Cooldown & other benefits.
