## What is Squeeze?

**Squeeze** is a new way to launch tokens that enables leverage from day zero. Instead of burning liquidity pools (LPs) during token launches, Squeeze locks and manages them by cutting LPs into multiple concentrated liquidity positions on Raydium. Traders can borrow from these positions without the risk of bad debt, even in the case of delayed liquidations. Since no single entity owns the LP, traders benefit from favorable liquidation and fee policies, protecting them from scamwicks and high fees.

**Squeeze offers unique trading policies that are only possible with DeFi, offering advantages that centralized exchanges (CEXs) cannot match:**

* **Use 1-Hour TWAP** <img src="https://4193763244-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FyPZbu6mPoAuShZjWIw2d%2Fuploads%2F1PpxDmjJHMohAKcbFMvK%2FFrame%2090.png?alt=media&#x26;token=3040d391-37d2-4df4-bcd8-97fac842a5fb" alt="" data-size="line">: By using a time-weighted average price for liquidations users are protected from scamwicks.
* **Open Protection** <img src="https://4193763244-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FyPZbu6mPoAuShZjWIw2d%2Fuploads%2F1PpxDmjJHMohAKcbFMvK%2FFrame%2090.png?alt=media&#x26;token=3040d391-37d2-4df4-bcd8-97fac842a5fb" alt="" data-size="line">: Positions cannot be liquidated within the first hour after opening.
* **No Interest or Funding** <img src="https://4193763244-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FyPZbu6mPoAuShZjWIw2d%2Fuploads%2FVzbECCY4HyZy9l47MzPc%2FFrame%2090.png?alt=media&#x26;token=6e8c2c02-c4eb-4999-b34c-04826dc7b425" alt="" data-size="line">: Squeeze eliminates fees typically found in trades with counterparties and only charge an open fee.

These favorable conditions are only possible by utilizing developer-seeded liquidity. Lending or perpetuals rely on price oracles and matching counterparties, making them incapable of supporting leverage for low-cap, highly volatile tokens.
