Access Model & Evolution

Liminal is now publicly accessible. Following a series of controlled stages and an invite-only Epoch 0, the protocol has transitioned to an open-access model. Any user can now onboard, deposit, and earn, reflecting Liminal’s evolution toward scalable, permissionless growth.

This marks a key shift from the invite-only model used during the early phases, replaced by an open, referral-powered access system that rewards users for growing the network.

Current System: Open Access + Referrals

  • No code required to join

  • Users can generate a referral code and earn a share of fees from users they invite

  • Referrals are funded through shared performance and builder fees.

  • Maximum per-user balance: $1,000,000

  • Minimum deposit: 500 USDC

  • TVL caps: dynamic and per asset, adjusted over time
