How to Buy on PinkSale: Solana Presale Guide

What PinkSale is (in one paragraph)

PinkSale is one of the largest launchpad platforms in crypto — a site where projects run public token sales as "pools". Buyers contribute the chain's native coin (SOL for Solana pools) while the pool is open; when it ends and the project finalizes it, buyers return to the pool page and claim their tokens. The pool enforces the rules on-chain: caps, price, and refunds if the sale fails.

Before launch day: what you need

• A Solana wallet — Phantom or Solflare. New to this? Start with our Phantom wallet guide.
• SOL in that wallet — PinkSale Solana pools take contributions in SOL, plus you need a little extra for network fees.
• The official pool link — bookmark advancebitcoin.org; when the $ABC public round opens, the only trustworthy pool link will be published there.

Step 1 — Open the official pool page

Go to the pool link from the project's official website. This step is where most people get burned: on launch day, scammers flood Telegram and X comments with lookalike pools for hyped tokens. A fake pool takes your SOL and gives you a worthless token — or nothing. Official website → pool link. No other path. Our safety checklist applies double on launch days.

Step 2 — Connect your wallet

Click Connect on the PinkSale pool page and choose your wallet. Make sure you're connecting the wallet you intend to buy and claim with — claims must come from the same wallet that contributed.

Step 3 — Contribute SOL

Enter your contribution amount and confirm the transaction in your wallet. The pool shows minimum and maximum contribution limits, the token price, and the soft/hard cap progress. Your contribution is recorded on-chain instantly — you can verify it on Solscan like any Solana transaction.

Step 4 — Wait for the pool to finalize

When the sale period ends (or the hard cap fills), the project owner finalizes the pool. Until that happens, there's nothing to do — the Claim button stays inactive. Finalization typically happens shortly after the sale closes.

Step 5 — Claim your tokens

1. Return to the same pool page with the same wallet connected.
2. The Claim token button is now active, showing your claimable amount.
3. Click it, confirm in your wallet (you need a little SOL for the fee), and the tokens land in your wallet.
4. If the balance doesn't show, add the token's mint address manually — for $ABC that's 3BWcLccJqqiy2k3QsfnmZpsrKTH1jjVCNTFkVQ8dcY6d, and it's printed on our homepage.

If the sale fails: refunds

If a pool doesn't reach its soft cap by the deadline, it can't finalize — instead, contributors withdraw their SOL back from the pool page. That's the launchpad's core protection: the project only gets the funds if the sale actually succeeds.

PinkSale vs. buying in the private presale

The $ABC private presale (running now, direct on our site) prices tokens at $0.01–$0.05 in USDT, wallet-to-wallet. The PinkSale public round comes after, at $0.08, paid in SOL through the pool — and listing follows at $0.10. Same token, same fixed supply; the difference is timing and price. The full ladder is in $ABC stages & price.
