Glossary
Definitions of key terms used across the DibDex platform, from airdrops and bonding curves to vesting and yield farming.
��️ A
🎁 Airdrop
A free distribution of tokens to a set of eligible wallet addresses. Token creators allocate a percentage of total supply for airdrops during token creation. Recipients are added by the creator and can claim their tokens after TGE (subject to any unlock period). See What Are Airdrops.
📊 Allocation
A reserved share of a token's total supply assigned to a specific wallet address. Commonly used for team members, advisors, and partners. Allocations can include vesting schedules. See Allocations.
🤖 AMM (Automated Market Maker)
A type of decentralized exchange that uses liquidity pools and mathematical formulas (rather than order books) to determine token prices and execute trades. DibDex uses an AMM for post-TGE trading.
📈 APY (Annual Percentage Yield)
The estimated annual yield on staked assets, expressed as a percentage and accounting for compounding. In farming, APY reflects the theoretical yield from staking LP tokens in a farm over one year, assuming conditions remain constant.
🅱️ B
📏 Basis Points (bps)
A unit of measurement equal to 1/100th of a percentage point. 1 basis point = 0.01%. Used on DibDex for precise configuration of burn rates, tax rates, and allocations. For example, 100 bps = 1%.
📐 Bonding Curve
A mathematical function that determines the price of a token based on its supply. On DibDex, the bonding curve is used during the preorder period — as more people participate, the price increases along the curve. Early participants get a lower price. See Bonding Curve.
🔥 Burn
A mechanism that permanently removes tokens from circulation on every transfer. A small percentage (the burn rate) is sent to a dead address, reducing total supply over time. This creates deflationary pressure. See Burn & Tax.
🅲 C
📥 Claim
The act of withdrawing earned or allocated tokens to your wallet. Used in the context of airdrops (claiming airdrop tokens), referrals (claiming commission tokens), preorders (claiming tokens after TGE), and farming (claiming/harvesting rewards).
💰 Commission
Bonus tokens earned by an affiliate when someone uses their referral code to place a preorder. Commission rates are set by the token creator and may vary by tier. See Affiliate Program.
🅳 D
🏦 DEX (Decentralized Exchange)
An exchange that operates without a central authority, using smart contracts and liquidity pools to facilitate trades. After TGE, DibDex tokens are traded on a DEX where prices are determined by supply and demand in the liquidity pool.
🅴 E
🌐 Ecosystem
On DibDex, a token ecosystem is the complete set of smart contracts and configurations that make up a token launch — including the token itself, preorder contract, airdrop contract, farm contract, and referral program. Everything is deployed together as a single unit.
💡 All-in-One Deployment — A DibDex ecosystem bundles the token, preorder, airdrop, farm, and referral contracts into a single coordinated deployment.
🅵 F
🌾 Farming
See Yield Farming.
🅶 G
⛽ Gas Fee
The transaction fee paid to blockchain validators for processing your transaction. Gas fees are paid in the network's native token (ETH on Ethereum, BNB on BNB Chain). Every on-chain action (swapping, claiming, staking) requires gas.
🅷 H
🌿 Harvesting
The act of claiming accumulated farming rewards from a farm contract. Rewards accrue continuously while LP tokens are staked, and can be harvested at any time without a minimum waiting period. See Deposits & Rewards.
🅻 L
🔄 Lifecycle Stage
The current phase of a token's journey on DibDex. Stages progress in order: Upcoming → Preorder → TGE → Trading. A token can also be Cancelled if the creator cancels or the funding goal is not met. See Introduction.
💧 Liquidity Pool
A smart contract holding a pair of tokens that enables decentralized trading. Users add both tokens to the pool (providing liquidity) and receive LP tokens in return. Traders swap against the pool, and the price adjusts based on the ratio of tokens.
🪙 LP Token (Liquidity Provider Token)
A token received when you add liquidity to a pool. It represents your proportional share of the pool. LP tokens can be staked in farms for additional rewards, held to earn trading fees, or redeemed to withdraw your liquidity.
🅿️ P
🛒 Preorder
A structured presale period where users commit native tokens (ETH/BNB) to reserve tokens before TGE. Preorders have a start date, cutoff date, and funding goal. If the goal is not met, participants receive automatic on-chain refunds. See Preorders.
🔒 Refund Protection — If a preorder doesn't meet its funding goal, all participants receive automatic on-chain refunds. No manual intervention needed.
📉 Price Impact
The effect a trade has on the market price. Large trades relative to the liquidity pool size cause more price impact. The swap interface shows estimated price impact before you confirm a trade.
🅡 R
🔗 Referral Code
A unique identifier that tracks when someone you referred participates in a token preorder. Referral codes are created on the Your Codes tab and can be shared as links or QR codes.
🏆 Referral Tier
A level in a multi-tier referral system where the commission rate increases as you refer more people. DibDex supports 3 tiers — each with a threshold (number of referrals needed) and a bonus percentage. See Referrals.
🅢 S
📉 Slippage
The difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual execution price. Slippage occurs because prices can change between when you submit a transaction and when it confirms on-chain. A slippage tolerance setting protects you by reverting the trade if the price moves too much. See Swap.
📥 Staking
Depositing tokens into a smart contract to participate in a protocol feature. On DibDex, staking specifically refers to depositing LP tokens into a farm contract to earn farming rewards.
🅣 T
💸 Tax
A fee collected on every token transfer, sent to a designated wallet address. Trading taxes generate ongoing revenue for the token creator or treasury. Rates are set during token creation and enforced by the smart contract. See Burn & Tax.
🚀 TGE (Token Generation Event)
The moment when a token is officially minted and deployed to the blockchain. TGE occurs after the preorder period closes and the funding goal has been met. After TGE, the token becomes tradeable on the DEX, airdrops can be claimed, and farms activate.
🚀 The Big Moment — TGE is when everything comes to life. The token starts trading on the DEX, airdrops become claimable, and farming rewards begin flowing to stakers.
📊 TVL (Total Value Locked)
The total USD value of assets deposited in a smart contract or protocol. In farming, TVL refers to the total value of LP tokens staked in a specific farm. Higher TVL indicates greater participation but also means rewards are split among more stakers.
🅥 V
⏳ Vesting
A mechanism that locks allocated tokens and releases them gradually over a defined period. Vesting prevents recipients from selling their entire allocation immediately, demonstrating long-term commitment. Tokens vest linearly — at any point, the recipient can claim the portion that has already vested. See Allocations.
🅨 Y
🌾 Yield Farming
The practice of earning token rewards by staking liquidity pool (LP) tokens in a farm contract. Token creators allocate a percentage of total supply as farming rewards, which are distributed continuously to stakers proportional to their share of the total stake. See What Is Yield Farming.
