You are lost or want to learn about how to create an account? Check out:What is GAINS Private Investment Platform?
Bundled with unparalleled features, GAINS Private Investment Platform gives investors a new and surprising experience of an ordered and assured token sale process for early stage tokens (seed & private rounds). The platform provides a safer experience for investors, allowing them to gain early access to vetted token sales at a lower price before they hit the market.What is the value added of the projects offered on the platform?
Two of the notable reasons why solid projects fail is ‘poor marketing’ and ‘lack of investors’ with aligned ‘interest’. GAINS solves both of these problems by offering new ways to raise capital:● GAINS has a community of more than 60.000 members on Telegram, Twitter, Discord, Instagram & Reddit. This helps the projects soar.
● GAINS is supported by a network of tier-1 marketing partners, top influencers. This helps to spread the word at a high level.
● The crypto projects go through a robust vetting process, and they’re hand-picked to protect investors’ interests. GAINS co-founders have the Skin In The Game by investing in all deals offered to the community.

KYC at GAINS Associates
At GAINS Associates, you need to do KYC before investing in a deal.How to start the KYC process? You can start KYC right from your Setting Dashboard - simply click on the status button to get redirected.
What goes into the KYC? In simple terms this is how KYC works:
1️⃣ User clicks on an authorization link to KYC.
2️⃣ User goes through the KYC journey which includes liveness checks, face matching & ID doc verification.
Requirements and country restrictions: Participants/Citizens from the following countries are strictly excluded/not allowed from the crowdfunding platform: Afghanistan, Barbados, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cayman Islands, North Korea, Haiti, Iran, Jamaica, Jordan, Mali, Morocco, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Panama, Philippines, Senegal, Sudan, Syria, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, Vanuatu, Yemen, Zimbabwe, and Russian Federation (Russia, Crimea, Belarus, Luhansk, Donetsk etc.) (collectively referred to as the'"Prohibited Jurisdictions"') according to the Terms Of Services.
Why to KYC? For early-stage projects, adhering to compliance at every stage, particularly during token launches, is crucial. KYC, a common practice in financial organizations that provide or distribute any kind of service or asset, is essential. This process validates that each participant is qualified for involvement, ensuring compliance with legal fundraising requirements, both in the blockchain space and the broader traditional market. Platforms in traditional investment and gambling also integrate KYC into their compliance strategies to affirm the legality of their activities. GAINS Associates is a platform committed to offering secure, efficient, and user-friendly access to top-tier opportunities in the cryptocurrency world. We collaborate with these projects, assisting in their token launches, guiding their community development, and connecting them with our own dynamic community of blockchain enthusiasts.
My wallet got compromised
The surge in interest in cryptocurrencies has unfortunately been accompanied by a rise in scams and impersonations. Due to the decentralized nature of Web3 and blockchain technology, users are responsible for the security of their funds.Remember to always verify that you're on gains-associates.com - consider bookmarking it for safety! If your wallet is compromised, we're unable to recover your funds. Transactions on the blockchain are irreversible and cannot be canceled. Tokens that are vested or staked are locked in smart contracts and can only be transferred to the wallet they were originally associated with. Our smart contracts are entirely decentralized, meaning we have no control over funds locked within them.As a precaution, consider transferring funds to a new wallet immediately after withdrawal. For future project involvement, changing your wallet is advisable to prevent additional losses. Stay alert and maintain the best practice of verifying website authenticity before connecting your wallet.Report

Add BNB Smart Chain to MetaMask
In this quick step-by-step tutorial, we will show you how to add BNB Chain to the list of networks on MetaMask. It is a very simple process, and there is nothing to worry about.- Download MetaMask from their official website https://metamask.io/download/. They offer support for the browsers Chrome, Firefox, Brave and Edge, as well as both iOS and Android.
- Create a wallet by following the instructions. Once you get to the backup seed phrase, make sure to write it down on a piece of paper rather than storing it on your computer or phone.
- Congratulations! You’ve just created a MetaMask account. It should look something like this:
- As you can see, the default network on MetaMask is set to the Ethereum Mainnet (top right). Let’s now add BSC to the list.
Click on Networks, select ‘Custom RPC’, and you should see this menu pop up: - Input the following info in the boxes:
Network Name: Smart ChainNew RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/
ChainID: 56
Symbol: BNB
Block Explorer URL: https://bscscan.com - You are all set! Well done.
Add custom token to MetaMask
You have claimed your GAINS or project tokens yet cannot see them in your wallet? Here are the steps:1. Open your MetaMask wallet.
2. Click on 'import tokens', located at the bottom of the 'Assets' tab on your wallet homepage.
3. Enter the token address in the dedicated field. In most cases, the token symbol and token decimal will autofill. If they don't, head to the network's block explorer and find the token. Its symbol and decimals will most likely be displayed.
4. Click 'Add Custom Token' to proceed. You will now see a page asking you to confirm that you want to add the token.

Where to find Token Addresses?
Project tokens: you can find the address in the Contract Metrics tab of the respective Project Page (see image below).GAINS token: you can always look it up on CMC or CoinGecko. We also paste them here for easiness.

GAINS Staking: How it works?
Staking enables GAINS token holders to stake their tokens on-chain instead of keeping them in their wallets.- Staking is eligible for new deal applications.
- Staking unlocks platform features.
- You can withdraw after a 12-month lock period. Early withdrawals incur penalties.
For example:
Penalty is calculated as: Remaining Staking Time / 365 days. If you withdraw 10,000 $GAINS 65 days early (65/365 ≈ 18%), you'll receive 8,200 $GAINS. The forfeited 1,800 $GAINS is divided equally between burning and our project's treasury.
💡 The staking feature is available on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain, both have equal value.
Step 1
Connect to app.gains-associates.com and connect your wallet. Then click on “My Wallet”. We recommend using a desktop version of MetaMask. Make sure you are on the correct chain - BSC or ETH, depending on where you keep your GAINS. Click “Add Wallet”.
Step 2
Then click “Stake $GAINS”. You can see all of the GAINS currently available to stake as your Balance. You can use the MAX button to stake all of the tokens. Make sure you have enough ETH//BNB to cover the gas fee.
Step 3
Sign the staking contract (if you are staking for the first time), pay the gas fee and confirm the staking transaction. Few minutes after staking, you will see your staking balance updated in the “Staking” page.
⚠️ Important:The primary distinction between holding and staking GAINS tokens is that staking grants you access to platform features, including voting and investment opportunities (though there might be a slight delay). Staked GAINS are locked for 12 months, after which you can withdraw them without penalty. No APY is offered on GAINS token staking. Withdrawing your stake results in the loss of GAINS Power.
Staking tokens also come with smart contract risks as well as network fees. Particularly when it comes to Ethereum, where staking can cost somewhere between $50-100, it is significantly cheaper to stake on Binance Smart Chain, but still bearing in mind that smart contract risks are the same on both.
Add $GAINS Liquidity to PancakeSwap
To successfully add GAINS liquidity to PancakeSwap, you will need the following:- A Metamask account connected to BNB Smart Chain. See how to set that up here.
- BNB to pay for network fees
- BNB in a ratio proportional to the number of GAINS you want to provide liquidity with
- You must have GAINS on the BSC chain (BEP-20 version of GAINS). BEP20 GAINS can only be traded on Pancakeswap
All set with your Metamask account? Connected to BNB Smart Chain? Head over to PancakeSwap https://pancakeswap.finance, and let’s take a look at the next steps.
Step 1
Connect your Metamask Wallet to PancakeSwap (top right > Connect). Make sure you’ve selected ‘Smar
Step 2
Via the PancakeSwap menu on the top select ‘Trade’ and then ‘Liquidity’. Alternative: visit this URL that gives you direct access to the BNB/GAINS pair.
Step 3
Once on the ‘Liquidity’ page, select ‘Add Liquidity’. Next, select BNB and then select GAINS. If the GAINS token doesn’t appear in the list, you can add it manually by pasting the GAINS BSC address
(0xf1c3e69494e27bf067c4076a6f244a46446719d6) into the search box.
Step 4
Input the desired BNB and GAINS amount you want to add to the GAINS liquidity pool and click on ‘Supply’.
Step 5
After confirming the supply, Metamask will again require a small fee to complete the approval. As you may have noticed, this is common practice for such transactions.
Congratulations, you are now a GAINS liquidity provider on PancakeSwap! 🤓
