# Liquidity Pool Manual

## Liquidity Pool

This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to participate in the protocol's primary liquidity infrastructure. By depositing tokens, you act as the "house," earning rewards from the mathematical edge of all integrated games.

## How to Deposit

1. **Membership:** Ensure you hold a soulbound membership Pass NFT. Membership is mandatory for all liquidity providers.
2. **Approval:** Approve the Core contract to spend the amount of native tokens you wish to deposit.
3. **Execution:** Call `Core.deposit` with your wallet address as the provider. The tokens will be routed through the Hub to the Liquidity Pool.
4. **Receive CLP NFT:** Upon a successful transaction, a Celestium Liquidity Position (CLP) NFT is minted to your wallet. This NFT is your receipt and serves as the single source of truth for your shares and rewards.

## Understanding Your Position

* **Shares:** Your deposit is converted into shares based on the pool's current value. More shares represent a larger percentage of ownership in the pool.
* **Fair Entry:** Your position snapshots the current global profit and debt counters at the moment of entry. This ensures you only accumulate rewards or losses from game activity that occurs *after* your deposit.
* **80-Week Lock:** Principal deposits are subject to a mandatory 80-week lock period. While rewards can be claimed at any time, the original tokens cannot be withdrawn until this period expires to ensure long-term stability for the protocol.

## How to Withdraw

1. **Check Lock Status:** Verify that your 80-week lock has elapsed by checking `getPosition(tokenId).unlockTime`.
2. **Withdraw Function:** Once unlocked, call the `withdraw` function.
3. **Settlement:** You will receive your proportional share of the pool (initial principal adjusted by any realized profits or losses).
4. **Position Closure:** Your Position NFT is burned, and your participation in the pool is permanently closed.

## Safety Circuit Breakers

* **Daily Drawdown Limit:** To protect your capital, games are capped at withdrawing no more than 5% of the pool's daily balance.
* **Loss Threshold:** If sustained player wins reduce the pool balance below 50% of expected principal, the "Circuit Breaker" automatically stops all new betting until the pool recovers via the next sync.
