⚠️ Liquidity Can Make or Break Your Project in Web3 ⚠️
​
It’s not just another cool metric to look at; it’s the lifeblood of your token. Without it, even the best tech and marketing won’t save you.
​
Today, let's take a deep dive into liquidity 👇
​
🧵

1️⃣ Liquidity vs. Capital: What’s The Difference?
​
One is mistaken by the other far too often in a fast growing ecosystem like ours, especially with new projects that are still developing their tokenomics and strategies.
​
But these two concepts are fairly simple in fact.
​
Capital is a broad term: it represents the total wealth, in the form of financial assets or resources, available to start, run, and grow a business.
​
Liquidity on the other hand is how easily you can buy or sell an asset— in this case, without heavily impacting its value.

When explained this way, it becomes clearer why the confusion happens: tokens assume both forms, especially since most projects often use their own token to finance their expenses.
​
So, capital can get you started, while liquidity can keep your token valuable, ensuring it can be traded without major price impacts, which is vital for maintaining market confidence and project sustainability.
​
Without liquid markets, a token’s value can quickly dry up, leading to price instability and a loss of investor trust.
​
2️⃣ Managing Liquidity
​
The number 1 liquidity killer? Market volatility. Fast and unpredictable price swings make it hard for projects to maintain a healthy liquidity balance, leading to unsustainable tokenomics.
​
This volatility can make builders go crazy when looking for a solution, which often drives them towards short-term fixes that are unsustainable.

One of the most common is liquidity mining (aka farms). While great in the beginning to quickly raise liquidity, it can transform into a double-edged sword in the long run, leading to "farm and dump" behavior that depreciates tokens over time if not done in moderation.
​
Measuring the liquidity health of a project can be a powerful tool for this reason, something we have researched for a long time, and you can access through our Liquidity Health Dashboard.
​
It provides insights into over 1,500 projects, helping teams make data-driven decisions on liquidity strategy and prepare for the future with ease.
​
3️⃣ Bonds: A Long Term Solution
​
By observing this complex situation, ApeBond started working towards a long-term solution that fitted these needs back in early 2022.
​
ApeBond pioneered the Bonds technology to secure long-term, protocol-owned liquidity and fundraising, aligning incentives between projects and their communities.
​
Projects can achieve healthy liquidity by:
​
• Obtaining protocol-owned liquidity, meaning the projects themselves own the liquidity, therefore reducing dependency on liquidity mining (renting liquidity).
​
• Strengthening their liquidity pools, since the hard assets raised (e.g., ETH, BNB, stablecoins) will bolster the overall liquidity profile of the project.

At the same time, Bonds also offer benefits for the users:
​
• Using tokens that vest over aligns incentives with the community as they become long-term holders instead of mercenary farmers.
​
• Access token sales at exclusive discounts, represented via a unique NFT they get to keep.
​
In short, the crowdsourced OTC liquidity generated by Bonds can enhance a token’s stability and valuation, all while engaging the community and increasing their trust.
​
4️⃣ Conclusion
​
Don’t let liquidity be an afterthought; learn to prioritize it from the start and raise it for the long run if you want to succeed.
