List Your Token

Perpetual Trading Powered by Your Native Token

Any project can list its ERC-20 token as a collateral asset on Lynx's decentralized perpetual exchange. Listing your token enables traders to utilize your token as collateral for opening positions, ushering in new value for token holders. Imagine a trader entering a 10x long position on BTC/USD while holding your token, TKN, as collateral. This connection allows traders to gain exposure to BTC/USD without parting with their TKN tokens. Lynx is capable of supporting any number of ERC-20 tokens, including governance, LSDs, LP tokens, etc.

The process of listing your token is seamless and doesn't give traders the ability to short your token or exert any selling pressure (even during liquidations). Furthermore, volatility in your token's price has no impact on traders' positions (see explanation in Gross Profit and Loss (P&L)).

Listing your token is not yet permissionless, but can be done seamlessly by the Lynx team. To learn more, contact us!

Benefits of Listing your Token

• Increase Token Utility: Enable your token holders to trade perpetual futures while still retaining your token's benefits (eg. governance, staking yield, etc.)

• Reduce Sell-Pressure: Holders don't need to sell their token holdings to get exposure to other instruments

• Customizable Parameters: Limit which instruments are tradeable when using your token, set usage caps (eg. Open Interest cap), and adjust trader fees

• Generate Protocol Revenue: Establish profitable and scalable revenue streams for your protocol

• Single-Asset Liquidity Provision: Earn trading fees without impermanent loss through single-asset liquidity provision, giving projects a great way to utilize idle treasury funds

Incentivize Your Token

Lynx enables protocols to incentivize both traders and liquidity providers using their token as a collateral asset on Lynx. Using Lynx's incentive mechanism, protocols can distribute specific tokens to attract more liquidity or incentivize more trading volumes denoted in their token.

Additionally, Lynx allows protocols to host their own trading competitions on the platform to encourage trading against their token as collateral. Prizes are awarded to those who trade the most, according to the pre-arranged structure of the trading competition. To learn more, contact us!
