🚀Launch Plan
Launch Plan
The Perp product will launch on Thur, 9 March 2023 with the following sequences.
Beta (soft) launch phase
The beta launch phase will last for 4 weeks from March 9th - April 5th. Given that the Perp product is very different from leveraged yield farming, we believe a beta launch will give our users a chance to try out the product and for our team to work on feedback received and make any necessary changes before the full-scale launch.
The following functionalities will be available at launch:
Up to 50x leverage trading, supporting market, limit, stop entry, stop loss, and take profits orders
*Please note that trading will be temporarily 0-fee, more info later below
Deposit / Withdraw liquidity to the ALP pool
Staking ALP token for ALPACA incentive rewards
Swap between the five assets in the ALP pool
Flash loan
Referral program; anyone can start generating and entering referral codes. However, note that referral rewards tracking will only start after the 0-fee trading campaign is over (more details below.)
For ALPACA investors, don’t expect TVL to be too high during the beta phase, which is intentional. We will start promoting the product more at the end of this phase, and increase rewards to attract more TVL.
Liquidity pool opens for deposit: 9 March, 9.00 AM UTC.
Users will be able to start depositing assets into the liquidity pool. To attract initial liquidity, we are turning off the deposit fee during the beta launch. So make sure to set your alarm and don’t be late!
ALPACA Emissions start: 9 March, 10.00 AM UTC.
ALPACA rewards emissions will start approximately 1 hour after we open the LP pool. You will be able to stake your LP tokens to earn ALPACA rewards on the Stake Page which you can claim anytime with immediate liquidity.
We are providing a lower emission rate during the beta phase and will increase the rate at the start of the full-scale launch in week #5.
