One of the fastest-growing DeFi exchanges, Vertex Protocol, announced today that it will begin launching the $VRTX Token and holding a Bootstrapping Liquidity Auction (LBA) in order to raise funds.
As part of the LBA, the $VRTX Token is going to be priced at a fair market price in order to enable gradual price discovery. There will be a LBA starting on 13 November that will last until 20 November until the launch of the $VRTX Token, and users will be able to participate either by sending $VRTX trading rewards or USDC.e until day five (17 November) of the auction.
"The Vertex LBA is an opportunity to establish a fair market price and base of initial liquidity for $VRTX, as well as to reward early Vertex users for their contributions to the protocol," said Darius Tabatabai, co-founder of Vertex. "We would like to see the market decide the price of $VRTX, rather than us setting it arbitrarily," he said. This would ensure that there will be more access to opportunities and opportunities for all users rather than just a select few."
This LBA is being used by Vertex as a fair token genesis mechanism to seed initial liquidity, while simultaneously promoting fairness, less volatility, and avoiding the launch of a token with a set price that may or may not reflect the actual market value. As a part of the auction, two liquidity pools will be created, one of which is comprised of USDC.e, the other with $VRTX. Both liquidity pools are single-sided, and are only capable of accepting the tokens designated for them.
As part of the Vertex LBA, there will be three stages:
In the event that a user wishes to contribute to the $VRTX liquidity pool, he or she must be approved to do so. In certain situations, tokens may also be subject to a post-LBA lockup. If you would like to learn more about how each stage will progress, as well as how you can participate, please go to the Vertex Protocol blog, which offers a comprehensive explanation of everything involved.
Alwin Peng, co-founder of the DEX, told me that for the first seven months after the DEX went live on Arbitrum's main network, the core Vertex product was our primary focus. It is our firm belief that we have created one of the most comprehensive incentive programs for users to purchase, hold, and stake our token, and we are very excited to bring it to market.
As soon as the LBA is completed, both liquidity pools will merge into one pool, the $VRTX-USDC.e Pool, which will provide the base liquidity for the $VRTX Token. By participating in the LBA, participants will be able to claim trading rewards that they earned prior to the LBA, provide liquidity, swap and trade their $VRTX Tokens, or stake them to gain additional liquidity for the $VRTX Token.
It is our pleasure to announce that $VRTX is the native token of Vertex Protocol which is designed to reward loyal Vertex Protocol users with various benefits. If you would like to learn more about $VRTX, please visit the Vertex Protocol blog.
