# Liquidity Bootstrapping Event

Before the protocol deployment, **Bariff** will hold a liquidity bootstrapping event to kickstart the protocol’s mechanisms. The system will be tier-based, using a FIFO model, and hosted at [bariff.trade/lbe](https://bariff.trade/lbe).

## Tier-Based LBE

The LBE process is quite straight-forward: If your entry is near initial price ($$P\_i$$), you will get more **BARIFF** tokens at a lower price. As tiers keep increasing on a constant $$tierMultiplier$$ (fronteering every $$tierStepMultiplier$$), the **BARIFF** price will increase according to $$P$$ formula:

$$
P = \left( ( \text{tier} + 1 ) \cdot \textit{tierMultiplier} \right) \cdot P\_i
$$

In which every tier is given by:

$$
\text{tier} = \frac{\textit{income}}{\textit{tierStepMultiplier}}
$$

On the other hand, with income $$\Delta i$$, the amount of **BARIFF** tokens minted per tier is going to be: 

$$
BARIFF = \frac{\Delta i}{0.05 + \textit{tier} \cdot 0.05}
$$

In that sense, the *First Come, First Served* (FCSC) mechanism ruled the initial public sale. Hence, price increments on each tier where not different on an exponential basis. In that way, is closer to a *fair launch*  model.

The **Tiers** will be capped by 50k USD ranges. As tiers kept increasing on constant steps, the **BARIFF** price increased according to $$P$$ formula. In that sense, the first buyers got the best price rate of the **BARIFF** token.

The raise will implement a soft cap of 50k USD, the minimum threshold required to bootstrap initial CHINA/BERA and USA/BERA LPs. Beyond this threshold, the raise will follow a Fibonacci-proportional allocation curve, designed to emulate organic PA as if traded within a full-range, V3-style AMM. 

At the conclusion of the LBE, all raised funds will be paired with wBERA and deployed via Kodiak V3: <https://app.kodiak.finance/#/>

**LBE Rationale**

* Funds raised during the LBE will be used to **incentivize liquidity** in the three core LPs mentioned above.
* The **CHINA/USA LP with BERA yield** will be the primary target, as it represents the deepest alignment with BERA’s memetic value.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://barrif-on-berachain.gitbook.io/barrif-on-berachain/lbe-and-tokenomics/quickstart.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
