# Launch

### What are Genesis Pools? 

We decided to utilise Genesis Pools for launch, similar to the origins of Tomb to foster initial protocol liquidity. We believe Genesis pools provide investors with value preservation, shielding them from 'sniper' bots and effectively decentralising liquidity from being in the hands of a core team. To use the genesis pools, you deposit your tokens (the allowed list is below) into one of the genesis pools to generate **$MTOMB** tokens. You can withdraw your funds at any time, and there is **no lock period**. 

Genesis Pools ensure: 

* A truly fair launch 
* Safety due to the liquidity pools being decentralised across many wallets 
* Early investor benefit 

### Genesis Pools 

MetisTomb Genesis Pools will allocate $MTOMB tokens with the following weights (in order of allocation): 

* Stake $METIS-$MTOMB - Earn MTOMB
  * Allocation point: 20 000
* Stake $USDC - Earn MTOMB
  * Allocation point: 5000
* Stake $HERMES - Earn MTOMB
  * Allocation point: 5000
* Stake $THETYS - Earn MTOMB
  * Allocation point: 5000
* Stake $METIS - Earn MTOMB
  * Allocation point: 5000

Deposit fee : 0.5%

  Please note, there will be a deposit fee in our Genesis Pools. In full transparency, the aforementioned deposit fee will be used partially to compensate our developers for pre-marketing funds, with the remainder to be used for liquidity, marketing, and continued growth of the project
