A Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool starts weighted almost entirely toward the sale token, so the spot price opens high and decays continuously as weights rebalance toward the collateral side. Buys push price up; decay pulls it back down — punishing snipers, rewarding patience.

Illustrative simulation. Models the weight-decay mechanic of a Balancer Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool: weights shift linearly from a token-heavy split toward the end split over the sale window, so price decays absent buying and buys push it back up (with more impact earlier, when the collateral-side weight is thin — the anti-sniping effect). Defaults echo Fjord Foundry's own FJO sale (opened ~5.36, drifted toward ~2.3 without sustained demand). "Trigger rug pull" models the AnubisDAO incident: a project's own key compromise draining raised collateral — not a flaw in the LBP mechanism itself. Trade timing, sizes and price paths are randomized for visualization — not live onchain data. Part of The Onchain Experiment Atlas.
