How to Securely Participate in the Aragon Token Sale

Using Mist, Parity, My Ether Wallet, and Metamask

The ANT token sale is happening on May 17th! In anticipation, we've been and will continue to frequently post about Aragon and sale details. In this post, we list the sources to trust for ANT sale information, and provide instructions for purchasing with Mist, Parity, My Ether Wallet, and Metamask.

Trusted Sources for the Token Sale Address

Sources that you can trust for Aragon Network Token sale details:

• The Aragon blog on Medium — An article with the final details of the sale, including the address and initial block to accept contributions, will be published on May 15th.
• The official Aragon Network website — Once the sale is deployed, the token address will be posted on the website.
• The #announcements channel of the Aragon Slack — Only admins can post to this channel. While moderated, participants in other channels could be spammers and scammers, as happened in the TokenCard sale.

To mitigate the risk of denial of service attacks, we've purposely spread the sources you can obtain the sale address over multiple services:

• The sale website will be hosted on Github Pages behind Cloudflare, which is used as a CDN for cache.
• The blog-post will be hosted by Medium.
• Slack channel.
• You can prepare your transaction before hand (as explained in the Advanced MyEtherWallet tutorial) and broadcast it from any Ethereum node to avoid being affected by wallets being too congestionated.
