Token Utility: What $LBOT Unlocks

$LBOT (LiquidBots) is the governance and access token that drives the LiquidBots economy. It provides execution benefits, vault privileges, strategic control, and emission routing - while acting as the stakeable asset for protocol alignment.

Token Layers

💠 $LBOT – LiquidBots

$LBOT is the protocol access token that underpins the LiquidBots protocol. It serves as the economic engine and coordination layer across all modules, balancing execution incentives, strategist alignment, and treasury control.

At its core, $LBOT creates the link between traders, strategists, liquidity providers, and institutional participants. It provides access, a conversion to governance rights, execution benefits, and a channel for distributing protocol emissions in a sustainable, aligned way.

  • Standard ERC-20 token, liquid and transferable

  • Functions as the primary entry point to the LiquidBots ecosystem

  • Used for protocol access, governance delegation & staking [in the form of escrowed $LBOT]

Utilities:

  • Protocol access: Certain advanced modules, strategy templates, or vault tiers may require $LBOT lockups or staking

  • Governance delegation: Voting rights for key protocol parameters (fee splits, vault approvals, emissions schedules) when converted to $esLBOT

  • Staking: Can be staked to generate $esLBOT, aligning holders with long-term growth during incentive campaigns

⛓️ $esLBOT - Escrowed LiquidBots

  • Non-liquid, escrowed representation of $LBOT earned through staking, emissions, and strategy incentives

  • Transferable within protocol boundaries (between wallets, vaults, or strategy accounts) but not freely tradable on secondary markets. May be available to trade on third party or OTC markets in the future

Utilities:

  • Unlocks premium utilities: Access to strategist dashboards, advanced DCA+ templates, and vault creation

  • Voting power: Governance votes are weighted on $esLBOT balances, reinforcing long-term participation

  • Reward multiplier: Boosts LiquidPoints accumulation, enabling power users and strategists to scale faster

  • Strategist eligibility: Required for strategy publishing rights, ensuring only aligned participants can onboard capital

  • Vesting Logic: Holders can convert $esLBOT back into liquid $LBOT through a vesting period (e.g., 180 days). Early exits incur burn penalties, preserving protocol alignment


📊 Token Layer Design – Why Two Tokens?

The dual-layer model ensures that short-term speculation does not undermine long-term protocol growth.

  • $LBOT provides liquidity, market visibility, and exchange-based utility.

  • $esLBOT creates stickiness, governance alignment, and utility-gated access.

Together, they separate the liquid circulation layer (for traders and secondary markets) from the governance/control layer (for builders, strategists, and long-term users).

This structure has been validated in other leading DeFi protocols and ensures that emissions and incentives are channeled into aligned users, not mercenary capital.
