Understanding the LLP Price Calculation

The price of the LLP token reflects the value of the liquidity pool, consisting of cbBTC, wETH, and USDC. It is dynamically calculated based on the pool’s total size and the number of LLP tokens in circulation. Here’s how it works:

  1. Liquidity Pool Size: The pool size is determined by the combined value of all assets in the pool. For example, if the pool holds:

    1. 10 cbBTC at $30,000 each = $300,000

    2. 50 wETH at $2,000 each = $100,000

    3. 100,000 USDC = $100,000

    4. Total Pool Size = $500,000

  2. LLP Price Formula: LLP Price=Total Pool Size in USDTotal Number of LLP Tokens LLP\ Price = \frac{\text{Total Pool Size in USD}}{\text{Total Number of LLP Tokens}} For instance, if the pool has 500,000 LLP tokens, the price per LLP would be $1.00.

  3. Minting and Redeeming LLP Tokens:

    1. When liquidity is added, new LLP tokens are minted based on the current LLP price.

    2. When liquidity is removed, LLP tokens are burned, reducing the total supply.

  4. Factors Influencing LLP Price:

    1. Trading Fees: Every trade on LeverageX generates fees that are added partially to the liquidity pool, increasing its size and the LLP price (LLP Token price 🔼). Learn more about the fees.

    2. Liquidations: If traders are liquidated, their collateral is added to the pool, increasing its size (LLP Token price 🔼).

    3. Trader Wins and Losses:

      1. If traders lose, their losses are added to the pool, increasing its size (LLP Token price 🔼).

      2. If traders win, their payouts are taken from the pool, reducing its size (LLP Token price 🔽).

    4. Dependency on Bitcoin and Ethereum Prices:

      1. When the price of Bitcoin or Ethereum rises, the value of the LLP pool (denominated in USD) increases in size (LLP Token price 🔼).

      2. When the price of Bitcoin or Ethereum falls, the USD value of the LLP pool decreases in size (LLP Token price 🔽).

Example Scenario

If a trader wins a $10,000 trade, $10,000 is withdrawn from the pool, slightly reducing the LLP price (LLP Token price 🔽). Conversely, if a trader is liquidated for $10,000, that amount is added to the pool, increasing the LLP price (LLP Token price 🔼).

Understanding the APY

The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for the LLP pool provides a projection of returns based on current pool performance, including trading fees and liquidations. It represents the estimated growth rate of the pool size and is a crucial metric for liquidity providers.

  1. APY Calculation:

    1. The APY is calculated as the percentage increase in the pool size over a year, assuming the current fee generation and trading activity remain constant.

    2. Example: If the pool generates $50,000 in fees over a month with a total pool size of $500,000, the APY would be: APY=(Monthly Fees×12Total Pool Size)×100=(50,000×12500,000)×100=120% APY = \left(\frac{\text{Monthly Fees} \times 12}{\text{Total Pool Size}}\right) \times 100 = \left(\frac{50,000 \times 12}{500,000}\right) \times 100 = 120\%

  2. How APY Impacts Returns:

    1. A higher APY indicates greater potential returns for liquidity providers.

    2. For example, at a 100% APY, a $500,000 pool could grow to $1,000,000 in one year, doubling the LLP price.

  3. APY and LLP Price Growth: As the pool grows from fees and liquidations, the LLP price increases proportionally, reflecting the enhanced value of each token.

  4. Key Assumptions:

    1. APY projections are based on current trading activity and fee rates.

    2. Changes in trading volume, fee structures, or market conditions can impact the actual APY.

  5. APY Adjustment: The APY is updated every 24 hours and factors in the performance over the last 7 days.

Why LLP Price and APY Matter

For Liquidity Providers

  • The LLP price shows the real-time value of their investment in the pool.

  • The APY provides a forward-looking estimate of potential returns, helping providers gauge the profitability of staying in the pool.

For Traders

Understanding LLP mechanics offers insights into how their activity impacts the pool and the platform’s sustainability.

Summary

The LLP Price is a real-time indicator of the pool’s value, influenced by trading activity, fees, and liquidations. The APY is a powerful tool for estimating returns, helping liquidity providers make informed decisions. Together, they demonstrate the efficiency and profitability of the LeverageX liquidity system.
