Bonding curve

What is a bonding curve?

A bonding curve is a simple rule that automatically changes the price of an NFT based on how many have been bought or sold.

In plain terms:

  • When more people buy NFTs, the price goes up

  • When people sell NFTs, the price goes down

  • The price change follows a pre-set mathematical curve, not a human decision

Think of it like a vending machine with a smart price tag.

Start price and end price on flip

On flip, the start price is 0.0005 ETH (Base) and the end price is 0.01 ETH (Base).

Simple analogy

Imagine a jar of candies:

  • The first candy costs $1

  • Every time someone buys a candy, the next one costs a bit more

  • If someone puts a candy back, the price drops slightly

The jar doesn’t need a shopkeeper — the rules decide the price automatically.

Why flip uses a bonding curve

Fair pricing: Early buyers get cheaper prices

Instant liquidity: You can always buy or sell

Transparent: Everyone knows how the price changes

No order books: No waiting for a buyer or seller

Minting pauses when already minted NFTs are sold into the liquidity pool, and resumes when they’re bought back.
