EOI token allocation explained for project teams

An EOI token is the number that locks a buyer's place in a launch. When allocations are scarce, the token order decides who gets which unit. Getting that order wrong is a headache you do not want.

Why tokens must be sequential

Because allocation follows order. The first paid EOI gets the first claim, and so on. If tokens are issued out of order — or worse, manually — your team spends the launch defending an allocation list someone edited in a spreadsheet.

How it should be allotted

1. Buyer registers and completes KYC.
2. Buyer pays the EOI through the portal.
3. A token is issued automatically in sequence, the moment payment is confirmed.
4. Your team sees the running list, live.

What automated allotment removes

• Duplicate allocations — a buyer can't be issued twice.
• Order disputes — the sequence is auditable, not a memory.
• Manual handoffs — no one has to type a token number into a sheet.

The practical takeaway

If your launch allocates in any volume, sequential, payment-gated token issuance is not a nice-to-have. It is the difference between a launch your team can close out and one they are still untangling at RERA filing time.
