Token generation event (TGE) is an event held by a company with the aim of generating or launching tokens on popular exchanges. The concept of implementing TGE is basically almost the same as ICO, namely a fundraising campaign.

TGE Function on Crypto

  • Raising Funds


    First, function token generation event (#TGE ) for companies is to raise funds from investors. Through the implementation of TGE, the company will introduce tokens as securities, and then the exchange concept applies as between investors and companies.

    In this case, the company will obtain investment funds from investors and vice versa, investors will receive ownership and voting rights over projects organized by the company.

  • Creating Community


    Not only collecting funds, the second function of organizing TGE for companies is to create a community that has an interest in the projects being carried out by the company.


    In this case, the more investors who are interested in providing their investment funds by purchasing the tokens being launched, it means the higher their enthusiasm for the project being run.
    This also means the wider scale of the community.


    Community is very essential for company projects. The existence of this community is a results orientation that shows how successful the project carried out by the company is. The larger the scale of the investor community involved, the higher the potential for success of the project when launched.

  • Increase Awareness of Relevant Projects


    Organizing TGE for companies also serves to increase awareness (awareness) the public about the existence of tokens and projects being worked on by the company.


    This also encourages companies to choose platforms or exchanges that are considered strategic when doing so listing token. This is because the choice of platform or exchange for marketing will have a significant impact on the price, reputation and popularity of the token in the eyes of investors.


    Not only that, TGE is also generally carried out by companies by listing tokens on popular decentralized (DEX) or centralized (CEX) exchanges. This is because token marketability, liquidity, and exchangeability greatly influence the level of success and adoption by investors.

Difference between TGE vs ICO

Finally, we will discuss what the differences are between a token generation event (TGE) and an initial coin offering (ICO). In fact, even though the two are often considered identical and TGE is often referred to as an alternative crowdfunding method to ICO, the two have significant differences. This difference is what has prompted several companies recently to prefer holding TGE rather than launching tokens via #ico What are the differences?

  • Regulations and Tax Aspects

    One of the main reasons why many companies are starting to switch from ICO to TGE is related to problems in regulatory and tax aspects. In this case, regulations usually consider ICOs as securities and therefore will be subject to tax. This is different from TGE which is not considered a tax object because it is not treated as a security asset.

  • Marketing and Publication

    TGE itself plays an important role in the publication and marketing of a project. In this case, TGE can constantly increase the enthusiasm of the investor community and their interest in the project.
