Quick Overview

SIPHER is a live-action, light-roleplaying, procedurally generated, cooperative, and competitive dungeon crawler and battle arena game with a great story and fun cast of playable characters. The world will be set in the sci-fi fantasy world. The environment will feel immersive with aspiring characters that will keep the players engaged for years to come.

Sipher Initial Public Sale Mechanic

Sipher was looking for a way to deal with the problems that were talked about that made it hard for users to participate, so they decided to run this public sale through their own customized version of the Initial Bonding Curve Offering (IBCO).

Why are IBCOs necessary?

The purpose of IBCOs is to address the aforementioned issues by the use of bonding curves from Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs). 40,000,000 (4%) of the $SIPHER tokens will be pre-minted and given to the Token Sale Smart Contract during the $SIPHER Initial Public Sale. The price of each $SIPHER Token will begin at $0.36, and due to the bonding curve approach employed in the IBCO, the settlement (final) price of the token will climb as money is donated. This is consistent with the supply/demand theory. Alternatively, removing cash will result in a decrease in the token’s settlement (final) price for everyone. An example of how an IBCO’s price discovery works are as follows:

Assumptions: Initially, there are 1000 $SIPHER Tokens for Sale in the IBCO, at a starting price of $1 per Token.

1st Interaction:

• Person A contributes $1000
• There is now $1000 and 1000 $SIPHER Tokens in the $SIPHER Initial Token Sale Contract
• The current price is $1 for each $SIPHER Token

2nd Interaction:

• Person B contributes $1000
• There is now $2000 and 1000 $SIPHER Tokens in the $SIPHER Initial Token Sale Contract
• The current price is $2 for each $SIPHER Token

The market determines the final price in an IBCO. The initial price is only a guideline; the ultimate price is set by market participants.

3rd Interaction:

• Person A withdraws $500
• There is now $1500 and 1000 $SIPHER Tokens in the $SIPHER Initial Token Sale Contract
• The current price is $1.50 for each $SIPHER Token

The price of an asset (in this example a token) should reflect the equilibrium struck between market players – sellers and buyers. Unlike an IDO, an IBCO’s final price is set by the market. The initial price is only a guideline; the ultimate price is set by market participants.

Advantages of IBCOs

Automated and decentralized mechanism

As previously indicated, an IBCO is a mathematical and programmatic process. It uses Smart Contracts, which are decentralized and do not require manual oversight or management.

Equal price for all participants

Because the final price is set by the market participants, the buying price will be the same. This is based on the Total Token Supply and the Final Token Pricing (determined by the market).

Flexible time and collective contributions

There’s no need to rush in early and try to obtain the best deal, since all contributions will lead to the ultimate token price that everyone pays. It takes a community. The Sipher IBCO will have a 72-hour deposit period where participants can contribute or withdraw funds.

No bots or early-birds

Due to the structure of an IBCO, early contributors have no advantage. Using bots or other automated methods to contribute funds is pointless because the final price is set by market participants within the IBCO’s time frame.

Option to withdraw contributed funds

The Token Price may fluctuate to the point where members no longer wish to participate in the IBCO. Participants will be able to withdraw their committed funds at any time throughout the 72 Hours of the IBCO, with some restrictions imposed to donations over 1 ETH in total value. These limits are in place to dissuade large capitalists from manipulating prices.

No Whale Pump & Dumping or Price Manipulation

The IBCO contract will include a ‘conviction contribution amount‘ to deter price manipulation by well-capitalized parties. The more $ETH users pay to the contract, the smaller the percentage of cash they can withdraw, or in other words, the greater their conviction contribution amount. Project’s easy-to-understand, User Interface will clearly disclose the percentage of cash given to the contract that is subject to lock-up prior to your contribution during the IBCO, thus authors recommend interested parties to evaluate carefully based on the information presented during the Token Sale.
That way, they can get the majority of the $SIPHER tokens committed for IBCO at a lower cost than fair market value. An example of a Conviction Curve is shown below. Any sum under 1 ETH is fully withdrawable.
