Understanding the Bonding Curve
A bonding curve is a mathematical mechanism that adjusts token prices based on the principle of supply and demand. At its core, a bonding curve ties a token's price to its circulating supply through a pre-defined mathematical formula. This creates a self-regulating pricing model, where the token price:
- Increases as tokens are purchased.
- Decreases when tokens are sold back.
Why Are Bonding Curves Popular for Token Creation?
Projects choose bonding curves because they can address common challenges in token launches, such as price volatility and liquidity gaps.
Key Features of Bonding Curves:
- Transparency: Algorithmic price adjustments and progression are visible to everyone, reducing manipulation risks.
- Immediate Liquidity: Participants can trade tokens directly on the curve without waiting for counterparties.
The Role of Bonding Curves on PancakeSwap SpringBoard
PancakeSwap SpringBoard integrates bonding curves into its token creation process to streamline launches and prepare projects for market trading. Here's how it works:
Token Creation Phase:
- Starting Price: The token trading begins with a pre-defined base price.
- Dynamic Price Adjustment: As tokens are purchased, prices increase incrementally based on the bonding curve.
- Liquidity Reserve: A portion of funds raised is allocated to liquidity creation.
Liquidity Creation:
- Funds generated during the bonding curve are pooled to create liquidity on PancakeSwap's DEX.
- Tokens are paired with supported assets like BNB, USDT, or CAKE to facilitate trading.
Selling Tokens Back:
- Participants can sell tokens back to the bonding curve during the initial phase.
- Each token sold back to the market slightly reduces the token price, ensuring sellers' liquidity while maintaining predictable pricing.
Transition to Market Trading:
- The token trading on Springboard ends when the bonding curve phase reaches its liquidity goal (100% of the token supply).
- Tokens transition to PancakeSwap DEX for open-market trading, governed by standard market dynamics.
*Once the liquidity for your project's token reaches 100% of the bonding curve on SpringBoard (approximately 24 BNB by default), 100% of the liquidity tokens will be securely locked in a third-party platform, GoPlusLabs. We do not have access to manage or remove the liquidity pool (LP), and it will remain locked.
*Following this, the "seeding" process begins: the raised funds and project tokens will automatically be paired in the PancakeSwap v3 (1% Pool). A 2% liquidity seeding fee will apply, with 50% of the fee returned to the token creator and the other 50% directed to PancakeSwap SpringBoard.
