FLUX Auction is alive on Copper

Please note that participating in a Token Launch Auction through Copper is a high-risk endeavor and that the value of the tokens that you’ve received in exchange for contributing to such an auction might go to 0.

What is Auction?

An auction is a sales event wherein potential buyers place competitive bids on assets or services either in an open or closed format. Auctions are popular because buyers and sellers believe they will get a good deal buying or selling assets.

Traditional auction

The open ascending price auction is arguably the most common form of auction in use throughout history. Participants bid openly against one another, with each subsequent bid required to be higher than the previous bid. An auctioneer may announce prices, bidders may call out their bids themselves or have a proxy call out a bid on their behalf, or bids may be submitted electronically with the highest current bid publicly displayed.

What is Copper? (crypto auction)

Copper is the most open and user-friendly way to participate in a Token Launch Auction (TLA). A TLA is a permissionless price discovery mechanism that enables projects and ideas from across the world to raise money from individuals without barriers to entry.

Key Features of Copper

• Price discovery. The price of the token starts high and drops based on a pre-configured price decay curve that can be resisted by buying pressure from auction participants. Anyone can buy into or sell out of the auction freely at any time, so price truly regulates itself.
• Open and permissionless participation. Freely launch tokens and participate in auctions. No whitelists, hard caps, or listing requirements. There is no minimum or maximum allocation. Auction participants choose how much they want to buy.
• Fair distribution. TLAs flip the first-come-first-serve launch model on its head and change token launches from being a race where the first bot in or the transaction with the highest gas fee wins. Get your token into the hands of as many people as possible in a fair way that disincentivizes front-runners and whales getting better rates than smaller participants.
• Capital efficiency. The initial price of the token being auctioned can be magnified by up to 99 times relative to the collateral deposited along with it. Additionally, the collateral can be fully retrieved at the end of the auction unless the auctioned tokens already exist outside of the TLA and someone decides to sell into the auction.
