There is no vesting, cliff, or post-sale lockup, and tokens will be claimed on the same chain where the contribution was made. We chose this structure to keep the sale simple and transparent, while ensuring participants have full flexibility from day one—whether they want to hold, LP, or lock into xULAB once the ecosystem goes live.</p><p>In terms of valuation, the public sale is priced at a $20M FDV, with a $25M FDV planned for launch. In other words, the sale is a clear entry point at a discount to the intended launch valuation, without adding complexity through delayed unlocks or conditional vesting. We want early participation to be driven by conviction and utility, not by forced holding mechanics.</p><h3 id="h-cross-chain-from-day-one-base-movement" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Cross-Chain from Day One: Base <span data-name="left_right_arrow" class="emoji" data-type="emoji">↔</span> Movement</h3><p>A key part of the launch is that ULAB is designed to work across chains from day one. At TGE, LayerBank will support a LayerZero-powered bridge between Base and Movement, enabling ULAB to move between EVM (Base) and Move (Movement) environments. This keeps friction low for existing EVM users who want to onboard into Movement, and it helps liquidity and utility stay connected across ecosystems instead of being split into isolated silos.</p><p>After launch, ULAB is intended to be actively used within LayerBank rather than sitting idle. It will power core flows like creating and locking ULAB LP positions, minting xULAB through the veTokenomics model, and unlocking emission boosts for lending participation. Governance features will also roll out post-TGE—starting with mechanisms that allow LP lockers to participate in emission-related decisions—so that long-term participants can directly influence how incentives are distributed as LayerBank expands.</p><hr><h2 id="h-official-links" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0">Official Links</h2><ul><li><p><strong>App</strong>: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://layerbank.finance">https://layerbank.finance</a></p></li><li><p><strong>Docs</strong>: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://docs.layerbank.finance">https://docs.layerbank.finance</a></p></li><li><p><strong>X</strong>: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://twitter.com/LayerBankFi">https://x.com/LayerBankFi</a></p><br></li></ul><br>]]></content:encoded>

Our roadmap is meticulously crafted to provide innovative solutions that drive long-term value to unresolved user challenges in the DeFi industry. And as we approach our next milestone with the launch of the $ULAB token, we’d like to share a glimpse of what to expect on Layerbank in the next few months.</p><p><strong>LayerBank remains focused on two core principles:</strong></p><ol><li><p>User-oriented</p></li><li><p>Decentralized money market</p></li></ol><p>As an industry disruptor, Layerbank’s evolution and growth are directed at addressing user pain points in decentralized lending platforms with new features and seamless experiences.</p><hr><h3 id="h-tackling-fragmented-liquidity" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Tackling Fragmented Liquidity</strong></h3><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/960db17e459aa66bdb4ff640e0e936f3151f035ef733f1986c223af6730d1027.png" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p>A significant challenge within DeFi is fragmented liquidity across various networks. This fragmentation leads to a disjointed user experience, complicating access to substantial liquidity pools and driving up borrowing APRs.</p><p>LayerBank’s solution is to unify liquidity across multiple chains, allowing users to access and leverage liquidity without barriers. This approach translates to lower borrowing APRs, increased flexibility, and higher yields for our users.</p><h3 id="h-beyond-multi-chain-enter-cross-chain-lending" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Beyond Multi-Chain: Enter Cross-Chain Lending</strong></h3><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/22e835af93405760e001dc709487701d76987e03ccfcf230c9fb9fb6bae8b528.png" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p>A fundamental factor for money markets to succeed, particularly in borrowing, is maintaining low APRs. Currently, many decentralized money markets experience low liquidity, causing APRs to fluctuate rapidly with even small borrowings. While this may not pose a challenge for small-scale retail investors, it often deters larger institutional investors, who view these fluctuations as a significant risk. Consequently, this can lead to reduced platform revenue and diminished governance token value.</p><p>By implementing a cross-chain solution, LayerBank aims to enhance the user experience for all investors by treating liquidity as a unified pool across chains. This initiative will facilitate larger liquidity pools and lower borrowing APRs, creating a more stable borrowing environment.</p><h3 id="h-how-cross-chain-lending-works" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>How Cross-Chain Lending Works</strong></h3><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/18e5b87390e7ab86a8d66b9109f28cd5f376b9feec805ecc4d361404eb740a0b.png" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p>Consider this scenario: you have $1,000 in ETH on Scroll, but need liquidity on Linea. LayerBank allows you to use your Scroll ETH as collateral to borrow $500 in ETH on Linea.</p><p>Alternatively, if you hold $1 million in ETH on Mode, where borrowing rates exceed 6%, you may find that even a small borrowing amount can further elevate the APR. In this case, LayerBank provides access to other money markets across chains, enabling you to borrow from Linea at a 3% APR and bridge the funds back to Mode.</p><p>For institutional users seeking to borrow $20 million, LayerBank allows borrowing from multiple chains—20% from Scroll, 30% from Linea, and so forth—creating an efficient borrowing environment with lower overall APRs.</p><p>Initially, this cross-chain functionality will launch on select chains and tokens, with additional cross-chain pools expanding over time.</p><hr><p><strong>What Does This Mean for You?</strong></p><p><strong>→ Higher Yields, More Opportunities</strong></p><p>As borrowing demand increases, supply APRs will rise, creating a positive feedback loop that enhances liquidity and fosters a more favorable borrowing environment.</p><p>Moreover, TVL across supported chains will grow, as borrowing and lending needs will no longer be chain-specific but will apply across LayerBank’s cross-chain markets. This evolution strengthens our ecosystem and enhances our ability to secure more enticing user incentives.</p><p><strong>Leverage Looping Vaults</strong></p><p>LayerBank will also enhance staking APYs by allowing users to loop across cross-chain money markets. Rather than looping a single asset on one chain, users can leverage lower APR assets on one chain while gaining exposure to higher APR opportunities on another. All of this will be available through an intuitive, user-friendly interface in line with our user-centric approach.</p><p><strong>More Opportunities Ahead</strong></p><p><strong>→ Isolated Lending Markets</strong></p><p>LayerBank will collaborate with meme token projects and communities to offer quick and permissionless listing. This will create deeper liquidity and provide users with margin trading opportunities while creating additional protocol revenue streams.</p><p>For example, if a meme token launches on Chain A, we can collaborate to list a pool of Token A and ETH/USDT on that chain, with triple incentives. These pools can also scale into major markets, increasing liquidity through multiple incentive layers.</p><p>Everything will be permissionless—from pooling and listing to upvoting and incentivizing—governed by the $ULAB DAO, directly adding value to the platform.</p><hr><p><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/afeaa09f6df82e14a3074568b3baffa7db684813623c42aa2aa4b23121d7a480.png" alt="" blurdataurl="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=" nextheight="600" nextwidth="800" class="image-node embed"><figcaption HTMLAttributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p>Following the $ULAB launch, our focus will be on rolling out innovative features that our users need the most.
