Bonding Curve and Financial Risk

As the blockchain economy continues to expand, the challenge of securing sufficient funding for projects to develop in a transparent and fair manner for all participants remains unsolved. Dr. ZS from Fushuma introduced a treasury management mechanism leveraging eXponential Bonding Curves (XBC) to address this very issue. The mechanism operates on a fundamental market principle: risk is correlated with investor engagement. Based on this, it dynamically adjusts token prices based on the performed transactions.

Key Design Principles of eXponential Bonding Curves

To better understand eXponential Bonding Curves, consider the concept of “exponential growth”. As more funds are deposited into the treasury, token prices rise at an accelerating rate. Conversely, when withdrawals increase, the token price decreases sharply. Most importantly, the process is transparent, allowing participants to observe how the system reacts and how investors perceive risk at each stage.

What’s crucial, however, is how this price behavior reflects the growth stages of a project.

Early Phase

At the start or in other words when the size of the Liquidity Fund is small, the perceived risk is considered as higher. Early participants acquire tokens at low price, and withdrawals are characterized by increased price changes due to limited liquidity. In that case, lock-up periods help to prevent dramatic price drops.

Expansion Phase

As the project gains traction, the token price rises. Overall overall risk decreases, and this is depicted by the growth of the Liquidity Fund.

Mature Phase

In the final phase, the price changes flatten to depict the project’s maturity. The limited risk is associated with the big Liquidity fund accumulated over the previous phases. If the market becomes excessively volatile, the large liquidity pool that is required at this stage can work as a safety mechanism absorbing sharp price fluctuations.

Why Is This Beneficial for Investors?

The XBC mechanism provides distinct advantages:

• Predictability: Investors know what to expect at each phase due to clear, transparent rules.
• Stability: The system helps prevent rapid sell-offs, especially in situations where exchange liquidity may be limited.
• Incentives: Extra rewards in the Expansion Phase encourage longer-term liquidity provision.

A unique feature of this mechanism is that every deposit, regardless of the phase, contributes to the Development Fund. This serves as the wallet of the project used for the project’s expansion, and collective decisions are made based on Governance mechanisms to finance the project’s future improvements through grants. This means that no matter the phase, a share of deposited funds is continuously allocated to strengthen the project.

This of course also boosts the token’s value over time. As new grant-supported projects grow, investors can benefit from fresh ideas and receive additional tokens.

Conclusion

Exponential Bonding Curves offer a promising solution towards fair, transparent, and sustainable funding in the blockchain world. This mechanism is characterized by a transparent approach that encourages both early and long-term participation, creating a democratic and fair environment for every investor.

In upcoming articles, we will delve into further insights of this innovative mechanism, illustrating how eXponential Bonding Curves can reshape funding mechanisms for the benefit of all stakeholders.
