Specifications
About Bounce (AUCTION/USD)
Bounce provides on-chain auction infrastructure that projects can use to conduct token launches, NFT sales, and treasury diversification events without relying on centralized launchpads. The protocol supports multiple auction formats: fixed-price sales, Dutch auctions where the price decreases over time until a buyer accepts, and sealed-bid auctions where participants submit hidden bids that are revealed simultaneously. This variety allows issuers to choose the price discovery mechanism best suited to their asset and investor base. The AUCTION token is used for governance of the protocol's fee parameters and for staking to access premium auction participation rights. AUCTION/USD on StoicFX is a CFD, no AUCTION tokens are purchased or held on your behalf.

FAQ
What auction formats does Bounce support and when would each be used?
Bounce supports fixed-price sales for straightforward allocation rounds, Dutch auctions where the price starts high and declines until buyers accept, useful for price discovery when true market demand is unknown, and sealed-bid auctions where all participants submit hidden bids simultaneously, favoring committed buyers over bots and snipers. The format choice depends on whether the issuer wants predictable pricing, efficient price discovery, or a competition mechanism that rewards serious participants.
How does a decentralized auction protocol differ from a centralized launchpad?
Centralized launchpads like Binance Launchpad curate which projects launch on their platform, conduct KYC on participants, and control the allocation process. Bounce is permissionless, any project can create an auction pool and any eligible address can participate, subject to the pool's own rules. This openness means lower barriers to launching, but also means participants need to conduct their own due diligence rather than relying on a centralized curator's vetting.
What gives AUCTION token holders an advantage on the platform?
Staking AUCTION grants access to premium auction pools that have whitelist requirements. High-demand launches on Bounce often require AUCTION staking as an entry criterion, creating a direct reason to hold and stake the token. Holders also earn a portion of platform fees through the staking mechanism and participate in governance votes on fee structures and protocol upgrades.
Does trading AUCTION/USD on StoicFX mean I hold tokens?
No. AUCTION/USD on StoicFX is a Contract for Difference. You trade AUCTION's price against the US dollar without holding any tokens. To participate in auctions on the Bounce platform, access whitelist spots, stake for governance, or receive fee rewards, you would need actual AUCTION tokens in an Ethereum-compatible wallet.
