What is Pre-Market Trading?
Buy and sell token allocations before they launch.
Think of it like this:
- Someone has 1,000 $JUP airdrop coming — but they want to cash out early.
- You want exposure to $JUP before it hits DEX/CEX.
- You agree on a price, lock the deal in a smart contract, and wait for launch.
- When the token goes live, Whales Market automatically settles the trade.
- No trust needed. No Telegram DMs. No getting rugged.
How to Trade Pre-market Tokens
Just 3 steps to buy or sell allocations before TGE — fully on-chain, no middlemen.
Step 1
Connect your wallet
- Use MetaMask, Phantom, or any supported wallet.
- No sign-up. No KYC. Just connect and go.
Step 2
Pick a deal or create your own
- From the homepage, choose a token you like
- Check the live order book: pick a price and amount that fits you
- Click to preview the deal via the order slip

Step 3
Wait for TGE → Settle Phase begins

- Buyer waits passively — no action required
- ⏱️ If seller fails to deliver in time
- 👉 Buyer can cancel and receive the seller’s collateral as compensation

Go to the Pre-Market dashboard, browse the listing you want, pick a suitable order, connect your wallet, and complete the purchase. You'll receive the tokens after TGE.
Click "Create Offer", input project details, price, and settlement window. Once listed, buyers can view and fill your offer. You'll deposit tokens only after someone accepts.
The trade enters a 4-hour settlement phase:
