The $SIDE LBP will last for a total of 7 days. We’ve observed that many users made purchases early. Please note that the LBP mechanism is intentionally designed with a high initial price, which will gradually decrease as liquidity pool weights adjust.

To reward those who participated early, we have decided to double the token rewards for users who made purchases before Nov 26, 2024, 10:00 AM UTC.

Additionally, from Nov 26, 2024, 10:00 AM UTC to Nov 27, 2024, 10:00 AM UTC, we will double the reward for the user who accumulates the most $SIDE tokens during each hour.

The list of eligible users will be published after this period to ensure full transparency.

https://x.com/SideProtocol/status/1861340522175930808

What’s Next?

• Genesis Drop tokens will be fully unlocked.
• The public offering is canceled, and no tokens will be launched on Solana.
• Testnet users who didn’t link their Bitcoin address can resubmit it before Dec 10.
