The Temple Treasury will hold periodic auctions for select volatile holdings acquired through liquidity bootstrapping, or other incubation activities. These auctions are known as Spice Auctions and should not be confused with .
Collectively, the tokens that are put up in the Spice Auction are known as SPICE. The SPICE Tokens may be any suitable volatile token, but will primarily consist of airdropped or vested tokens from incubated Partners subject to various vesting or holding requirements. Spice Auction details about which SPICE tokens and the auction lot size will be announced well ahead of the start of the auction.
The only accepted currency in the Spice Auction is (TGLD). USDS cannot be used to bid in Spice Auctions and there's no zap feature for TGLD. A Spice Auction will typically last 3 - 7 days and all TGLD bidders will receive the same unit price in TGLD for the SPICE at the end of the Spice Auction. The last accepted TGLD Bid will set the final price for SPICE. To avoid gaming to discourage Bids, TGLD bids are final once they are submitted even if the auction isn't over.
All TGLD Bids are final and cannot be withdrawn!
Spice Auction Tokens may be found trading at fair market price on external exchanges. Given the unique mechanics of Temple Gold, TGLD holders may discover a potential arbitrage opportunity by acquiring TGLD in advance to bid on SPICE through future Spice Auctions.
A total of 100,000 Token Y was put up for Auction and a total of 1,000,000 TGLD was submitted by Bidders by the end of the Auction. The final price for Token Y is 10 TGLD and each Bidder can claim 0.1 Token Y per TGLD pro rata. Since Alice bid 10,000 TGLD, she'd receive 1,000 Token Y or 1% of the auction lot. Since Bob bid 100,000 TGLD, he'd receive 10,000 Token Y or 10% of the auction lot.
