Initial Farm Offerings
Initial Farm Offerings (IFO) are a new type of token sale event popularized by Decentralized Exchange (DEX) platforms. PancakeSwap is the most popular of them all, utilizing this unique fundraising event for upcoming projects.

IFO’s are both different and similar to Initial Exchange Offerings (IEO) and Initial Coin Offerings (ICO). All three methods serve as a way to raise funds for cryptocurrency projects. These are typically carried out on an exchange, but sometimes project websites or other “pre-sale” methods are used.
Venture Capitalists of the Future
Since the inception of cryptocurrencies over 12 years ago, significant developments have changed the types of fundraising events that have been used, for example, before ICO’s projects heavily relied on venture capitalist (VC) backing, which is a slow and cumbersome process. The ICO period revolutionized the way fundraising was done, cutting short the process of obtaining venture capitalists (VC). The initial system of getting VCs was proven to be a prolonged process for blockchain-based projects.

To solve this, exchanges stepped in to help projects raise funds safely and transparently. - See Binance IEOs.
Recently, the tide has shifted towards the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector of the Crypto markets. The most prominent Dapp’s used are DEX platforms like PancakeSwap and StreetSwap, which have introduced another innovative sales offering, Initial Farm Offerings (IFO).
What Is An IFO?
As the name suggests, Initial Farming Offerings are a brand new type of fundraising activity that uses farming events to generate funds for participating projects.
With the help of IFO’s, users can participate in “pre-sales” hosted through DEX’s to get tokens before listing on respective exchanges. Typically the DEX teams will thoroughly vet projects before hosting official IFO’s. While this vetting process is included, it does not ensure the token’s success or integrity, as users should always due diligence beyond BSCNews when making financial decisions.
The IFO process benefits both new projects, Pancakeswap, and its users; the IFO allocates farming rewards for PCS users while also providing new projects an incentivized liquidity pool on PCS. This system allows sustainable yields to be generated for PCS users, and it creates initial liquidity for the respective token. On top of this, half of the funds raised are burned in CAKE if the sale is completed.

Participating In An IFO
Before taking part in an IFO event, users must provide liquidity, which is used to purchase the respective token participating in the IFO. In PancakeSwap IFO’s, users must provide Cake-BNB liquidity on PancakeSwap using a BEP-20 wallet such as TrustWallet. See How to provide liquidity on PancakeSwap.
Once liquidity is provided, the new tokens are bought using the Cake-BNB LP tokens generated after adding liquidity. Pancakeswap utilizes a system that rewards the project with the BNB collected, and PancakeSwap burns the Cake. Finally, the users are granted the tokens after the IFO event is completed.
What Happens to Unspent Funds?
They simply come back to the user after the event. In a sellout event, users will receive the proportional value in tokens based on their contribution as a percent of the total contribution done. For example, suppose the full value of an IFO is set at a $1,000,000 contribution. In this case, users get the equivalent amount of their contribution in the tokens over the total value after the event and get what's leftover.
If the targeted amount of funds are not raised, sales will proceed as normal, and funds will be utilized. Project development doesn't stop if the total expected funds are not reached; it just means fewer tokens are distributed.
IFOs: Here to Stay
A bold new kind of idea could once again change the way funds are generated in a whole new way. PancakeSwap has continued to innovate upon their platform, integrating ICO’s. This system rewards both new projects and PCS users as the process creates liquidity for new projects and burns CAKE tokens. Overall, IFO’s are used to raise funds for new decentralized protocols on the BSC. This system provides a seamless way for new projects to launch into the DeFi space.

All users must note local and national regulations in their respective regions when participating in IFO’s.
Overall it is vital to proceed with caution when purchasing tokens that have just been listed. For those who have not already read our articles on safety in the BSC, it is crucial to reference the following items, HERE and HERE.

Terraform Labs Founder Do Kwon Appeals Extradition Decision in Montenegro

The appeal will be reviewed by the Montenegro court, and the Montenegrin Ministry of Justice faces challenges in reaching a conclusive decision by the December 15 deadline.
Kwon Do-hyung, the founder of Terraform Labs (TFL), has filed an appeal against the recent extradition ruling made by the High Court of Podgorica in Montenegro, according to a local South Korean media outlet.
The Montenegrin Court of Appeal confirmed on December 6 that Kwon Do-hyung contested the decision, stating, “I do not accept the court’s decision to extradite me, so I do not submit to the court’s decision.”
This appeal prompts the Montenegrin Court of Appeals to reassess the extradition decision, introducing uncertainty into the resolution timeline.
Extradition Request and Timeline
The court initially approved Kwon’s extradition request on November 24, stipulating his transfer to either the United States or his home country, South Korea.
The current appeal has altered the decision-making timeline, making it challenging for the Montenegrin Ministry of Justice to finalize the extradition destination before the December 15 deadline.
During the extradition trial, Kwon expressed a preference for being extradited to South Korea, a request that was granted by the court. However, the appeal has extended the timeline, potentially rescheduling the extradition proceedings to January, according to Crypto Times.
Despite Kwon Do-hyung’s appeal, local observers in Montenegro suggest slim chances of overturning the extradition decision. A prevailing belief among Montenegrin government officials and judiciary figures is that Kwon’s continued detention attracts undue attention.
