Fjord FoundryPrice

(FJO)

Fjord Foundry is a community-focused Web3 launchpad that facilitates fair token distributions. Its primary innovation is the use of Liquidity Bootstrapping Pools (LBPs), which prioritize organic price discovery and prevent automated bots from manipulating the sale. By using a dynamic pricing model, it allows projects to distribute tokens equitably to genuine supporters rather than allowing whales or 'snipers' to monopolize the supply at the start of a sale.

An LBP is a dynamic sale where the token price begins at a high point and naturally trends downward over time unless buying pressure occurs. This 'Dutch Auction' style mechanism discourages early bot manipulation and rewards patient participants. It allows the market to determine a fair value for the token during the sale period. Users can choose to participate at a price point they find acceptable as the price decays or fluctuates based on demand.

Partnered sales involve projects that have undergone due diligence by Fjord's official launch partners and receive featured placement. These are generally considered to have been reviewed for quality and legitimacy. Unvetted sales, however, are permissionless, meaning any project can launch them without a review process. Unvetted sales carry significantly higher risk, including potential scams, and require participants to conduct extensive personal research before contributing.

Fjord Foundry employs a value-accrual model where 90% of the total protocol revenue, generated from swap and sale fees, is used to buy back FJO tokens from the open market. These tokens are then either permanently burned to reduce the total supply or redistributed as rewards to FJO stakers. This mechanism ensures that the protocol's growth and success directly contribute to the reduction of token supply and the incentivization of long-term holders.

$FJOINTS are reward points earned by staking FJO tokens, usually involving a six-week lock-up period. These points gamify the airdrop process through a 'points auction' system. Rather than receiving small amounts of every token launched on the platform, users can use their accumulated FJOINTS to bid for specific project airdrops they are interested in. This allows stakers to strategically focus their rewards on projects they believe have the most potential.

To participate in a sale, users must connect a secure Web3 wallet to the platform and hold funding tokens such as WETH, USDC, or DAI. When a user contributes, they typically pay a 2% swap fee, which is directed toward the protocol's buyback and maintenance programs. It is important to note that purchased tokens are generally only claimable once the sale period has concluded to prevent early secondary market volatility and protect the integrity of the LBP.
