# Market Generation Event

There was no pre-sale, instead we followed the footsteps of the Rootkit dev team; we offered a fair launch through a fully decentralized Market Generation Event**.**

We carefully examined the market and strongly felt that the MGE framework is superior to any other token launching mechanism.

There  were two phases in our MGE:

* Generation
* Distribution

During the Generation phase our MGE contract and allowed for contributions. 

Immediately after  our MGE completion, both contributor and referral tokens were made available to be claimed.
