LBP FAQ
LBP specific FAQ
What are LBPs?
Liquidity Bootstrapping Pools (LBPs) are a type of token sale where the price starts high and changes dynamically over time. The price can decrease or increase based on demand, helping to reduce early bot activity and giving participants more choice on when to buy.
How do LBPs work?
LBPs use changing token weight ratios to adjust the price. If there’s little demand, the price falls. If many participants buy early, the price may increase. You can buy at any time, based on what you feel is fair.
Why participate in an LBP?
LBPs offer a more flexible entry compared to fixed price sales. There’s no rush to buy immediately, and prices are not locked in. The structure also helps reduce the impact of sniper bots and large buyers by starting the sale at a high price.
Are there risks?
Yes. The price could move after you buy—up or down—depending on demand. There is also no guarantee of token value after the sale. Always do your own research before participating.
What is the starting price?
The price starts high to discourage bots and early sniping. It is designed to drop if demand is low, but may rise again if participation is strong.
What is slippage?
Slippage is the difference between the price you see and the price you actually pay. It happens because prices update with each purchase. You can control your slippage tolerance when confirming the transaction.
How long do LBPs last?
Most last between 2–5 days, but the duration is set by the project and displayed on the sale page.
When is the best time to buy?
There’s no perfect time—it depends on how the price evolves. Some buyers wait for it to drop. Others buy early to secure tokens. You can follow the live chart and buy when the price feels fair to you.
Can I claim my tokens during the LBP?
No. Tokens are only claimable after the sale ends. This prevents early liquidity being added and protects the sale’s structure.
Can I buy and sell during an LBP?
Some LBPs allow both buying and selling, while others are buy-only. Check the sale page to see which type it is.
