The Reverse Auction That Kills Listing Bots
Every new token listing follows the same script: instant parabolic pump, followed by a brutal dump that leaves retail traders holding the bag. This volatility is not natural demand; it is the calculated execution of sniping bots that front-run initial liquidity, exploiting the traditional listing model.
This systemic flaw, which erodes trust even in markets adjacent to $ETH, has an elegant solution: The Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool (LBP).
LBPs are the anti-bot weapon. They completely flip the traditional auction model into a Reverse Auction. Instead of the price starting low and spiking (which guarantees bot profit), the LBP starts the token price prohibitively high. The price then gradually decays over a set period. This mechanism eliminates the immediate incentive for front-running. Participants are forced to wait for fair value, resulting in organic, gradual price discovery and a significantly cleaner launch environment. This shift promotes long-term project health and benefits the entire ecosystem, strengthening the foundation that supports assets like $BTC.
This is not investment advice.
