🌊 LBP-Specific Questions

LBP FAQ

Below, you’ll find frequently asked questions about Liquidity Bootstrapping Pools (LBPs) on DEXDock. Whether you’re new to LBPs or already familiar with this dynamic token sale model, these insights can help you navigate the process confidently and reduce risk. ✨

1. What are Liquidity Bootstrapping Pools (LBPs)?​

LBPs provide a dynamic method for token sales, starting with a high token price that gradually decreases. This approach supports price discovery and ensures a broader token distribution by discouraging bots and whale purchasers early in the sale.

2. How do LBPs work?​

LBPs utilize a price-decay model where the token price begins high to deter bot activity and large buyers. Over time, weight adjustments in the pool lower the token price, allowing participants to buy when they feel the price is fair.

3. Why should I participate in an LBP?​

LBPs offer:

  • Fair Pricing: Minimize the impact of whales and bots.
  • Wide Distribution: More participants can acquire tokens at a justifiable price.
  • Dynamic Engagement: The price-decay model encourages market-driven valuations, leading to balanced token ownership.

4. What are the risks of LBPs?​

One main risk is that the token value could decrease after you purchase. Always research the project, evaluate its fundamentals, and be prepared for market volatility within the LBP.

5. What is the starting price for an LBP?​

LBPs typically launch with a high starting price to deter automated bot sniping and whale accumulation. Over time, pool weight adjustments lower this price, aiming for more equitable access and distribution.

6. What is slippage, and how does it affect my purchase?​

Slippage is the difference between your expected transaction price and the actual price you receive. Rapid price changes in LBPs can lead to unpredictable slippage. You can set a slippage tolerance in your wallet or DEX interface to help manage this risk.

7. How long do LBPs last?​

Most LBPs on DEXDock run for 3–5 days, but you should always check the live page of a specific LBP to verify its exact duration.

8. When is the best time to buy into an LBP?​

Timing depends on your assessment of the token’s fair value and how the price decays over the course of the LBP. Monitor the weight shifts, community sentiment, and the project’s fundamentals before making a purchase.

9. What sets DEXDock LBPs apart?​

11. Can I buy and sell tokens during an LBP?​

This depends on the LBP’s type. Some LBPs are buy-only, preventing sell orders to promote a steadier price curve. Others support both buying and selling. Review the sale interface for specifics regarding your chosen LBP.
