Locking Curve

The Locking Curve is a unique option designed to balance early investment incentives while mitigating pump-and-dump volatility. Unlike traditional models where early buyers gain unrestricted liquidity, this approach introduces a dynamic lock duration—rewarding patience and discouraging short-term speculation.
Buy Early, Lock Longer: Investors who enter at a lower price have their coins locked for a longer period.
Buy Later, Unlock Faster: Those who purchase at a higher price experience shorter lock times, ensuring later buyers still have flexibility.
This system is powered by a recursive function that sets a maximum lock duration and gradually reduces the lock time as more coins are purchased. As the supply moves, so does the unlocking speed, allowing the market to dictate liquidity release in real time.
Think of it as DeFi’s version of a "pay more, wait less" model: a built-in safeguard against early dumps while keeping the market moving.

When a Locking Curve coin reaches the DEX, the lock durations remain in effect. This reduces the immediately tradable supply (low float), naturally creating upward price pressure. With fewer coins circulating and growing demand, price action becomes more stable while allowing for organic, high-value trading opportunities.
Additionally, DEX migration for Locking Curve coins comes with a decentralized voting mechanism:
Instead of waiting for all coins to be sold (typically 4 ETH in total sales), the migration threshold is reduced to 2.5 ETH.
If at least five eligible holders (each holding at least 0.5% of the supply) vote to migrate early, the coin is immediately launched on DEX.
This system empowers holders, providing them with governance over migration timing while maintaining structured liquidity control. The Locking Curve is about strategic price stabilization, fairer entry mechanics, and long-term sustainability in meme coin trading. By reducing sell pressure and controlling float, it ensures a healthier price trajectory while still offering opportunities for both early and late participants.
