LemonPips Project Summary

1. Overview

LemonPips is a governance-integrated cryptocurrency designed for eCommerce, rewards, and staking. The system is built on three key components:

• Pips - Off-chain reward points earned through engagement.
• Lemons - On-chain cryptocurrency used for payments, staking, and governance.
• Juice - Formed by fermenting Lemons, representing governance power.

2. Tokenomics & Initial Minting

2.1 Initial Supply Allocation

• Liquidity Pool (LP) (Initial Mint): 300,000 Lemons matched to usdcoin or similar
• Treasury Reserves: 20,000,000 Lemons
• Staking & Rewards Pool: 30,000,000 Lemons
• Governance & Community Growth: 10,000,000 Lemons
• Team & Founders: 15,000,000 Lemons (locked, 1M unlocked every 2 months, earning staking rewards)
• Total Initial Supply: 75,300,000 Lemons

2.2 Governance-Controlled LP Expansion

Additional Lemons for LP will only be minted as liquidity increases. Governance votes will determine when new LP supply is needed. as liquidity grows, additional Lemons can be minted.

3. Liquidity Pool & Trading Fees

Liquidity providers must deposit equal values of Lemons and stablecoins (USDC or GBP-stablecoin). Every trade incurs a 0.3% trading fee, which is distributed to liquidity providers.

4. LP Staking Rewards

Lock Duration & Bonus APR

• No Lock - 0% APR
• 3 Months - 7% APR (+2% early LP bonus)
• 6 Months - 10% APR (+1% early LP bonus)
• 12 Months - 15% APR
• 2 Years - 18% APR
• 3 Years - 22% APR

50% of rewards are vested for 3 months to ensure long-term participation.

5. Phased Rollout Plan

Phase 1: Bootstrap Liquidity (Month 1-3)

• High APR for Early LP Stakers
• Community Liquidity Incentives
• Goal: Grow liquidity pool to £10,000

Phase 2: Expansion (Month 3-6)

• Introduce LP staking rewards at standard rates
• Lower early LP bonuses
• Increase LP staking governance voting
• Goal: Grow liquidity pool to £50,000

Phase 3: Open Market Growth (Month 6-12)

• Integrate CEX listings & fiat onramps
• Gradual reduction in Lemon emissions
• Enable cross-chain liquidity pools (BNB Chain, Arbitrum, etc.)
• Goal: Reach £250,000 liquidity depth

6. Risks & Solutions

🚨 Price Volatility & Manipulation

Low liquidity can cause massive price swings. Solution: Early LP bonuses and phased rollout to ensure gradual liquidity increase.

🚨 High Slippage & Poor User Experience

Low liquidity = traders paying above market price. Solution: Incentivize LP staking to increase liquidity depth.

🚨 Market Manipulation & Pump & Dumps

Low liquidity allows whales to manipulate price. Solution: Treasury-backed buybacks prevent price crashes.

7. Summary & Next Steps

• LP staking rewards incentivize liquidity providers.
• Adjusted phased rollout accounts for lower starting liquidity.
• Early LP bonuses encourage liquidity staking.
• Treasury buybacks will protect the £0.01 price floor per Lemon.
• LP governance integration will strengthen community participation.

📌 Next Steps:

1. Deploy the Lemon-USDC LP smart contract.
2. Set up the staking reward contracts with vesting.
3. Begin early LP recruitment & marketing.
4. Launch the adjusted phased rollout plan.
