What is a Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool?

A liquidity bootstrapping pool (LBP) is a special pool designed specifically to launch new tokens. LBPs are not like the typical weighted pool you find in today’s automated market makers (AMMs) like SpookySwap, Uniswap and the like. In an LBP, price discovery for a new token happens freely as the fair value is found in an open and transparent manner. A “pre-sale” price does not become a metric disincentivizing later investors.

In an LBP, the initial price is set very high to disincentivize bots, front-running, and speculation, while allowing for safer and less aggressive token launches. LBPs are programmed to shift the weights of the target token and its trading pair over a predetermined period of time . This shift in asset weights is designed to create constant downward price pressure on the token throughout the LBP event (see Graph 1). Interested investors can participate in the LBP and purchase the token when they perceive it has reached its fair market value.

While the LBP is designed to create constant downward price pressure, the price may not continuously decline if there is substantial buy-pressure. This is where the investor’s decision making comes into play and they determine when they want to purchase the token.

At the conclusion of the LBP, the ratio of the target asset (i.e. $RING) and its trading pair (i.e. $USDC) will be 50:50 and the liquidity will be transferred to SpookySwap for the token’s DEX listing.

$RING x Beethoven X LBP

OneRing will dedicate 2% of the total supply of $RING (2 million tokens) to its LBP on Beethoven X. The $RING LBP will run from January 27, 15:00 UTC and continue for 48 hours before the $RING token listing on SpookySwap.

$RING will start the LBP with a price per $RING of $3.32 USD and the weights of $RING and $USDC will be adjusted by 72 blocks over 48 hours (see Table 1). Remember, with enough buy-pressure, the designated price floor may never be reached, so you have to decide what’s the right price for yourself.

One key feature of an LBP is that it must be supported by a multi-signature wallet. The multisig for the $RING LBP will be signed by OneRing CEO Aragorn, OneRing COO Gimli, a representative from SpookySwap, and a representative from Beethoven X.

We will follow with another article detailing step-by-step how to participate in the LBP. In the meantime, if you have any further questions on the mechanics of the $RING LBP, please feel free to contact our team through one of our social channels linked below.
