Launchpool

Elsewhere, a launchpool is a way of getting in early on a coin. UniAI Dex has nothing of that shape to offer and will not invent one, because this venue lists markets rather than coins. What opens here is a new instrument on the same book, needing the same thing every new market needs before it is worth trading at all.

That thing is depth. A market nobody is quoting is a market you cannot get out of, which is why whoever arrives first carries a risk the hundredth participant does not. Early access to a new market means precisely that: being there before the book is deep. So the honest version of this product is a way of recognising it - committing collateral to a market early, on terms set out in advance, from a vault you can still withdraw from. It is a question about what early risk is worth and to whom.

We are being deliberately careful on this page, because it is the one where describing something that does not exist would be easiest. What we can state now is the constraint. Whatever shape this takes, it will not ask you to move collateral somewhere we control, and it will not offer you a return for doing so. The book it would open new markets on is running today.
