Bounce Finance Updates: iPhone 15 Pro Max Mutant English Auction
Bounce Finance is committed to the promise of presenting more Mutant English auctions empowering participants to bid and earn rewards using $AUCTION tokens. The very first of these auctions, known as the Bounce iPhone 15 Auction, kicked off on September 9th at 3 PM UTC. This auction has created quite a buzz, offering exciting dynamics for everyone to bid with $AUCTION, earn APY within 24 hours and compete for the opportunity to win an iPhone 15 Pro Max along with an NFT. Upon the official release of iPhone 15 Pro Max, Bounce Finance will purchase one unit and deliver it to the final winner’s doorstep, covering all shipping costs.
Now, let’s dive into how the Bounce iPhone 15 Auction works. The first bid is set at 10 $AUCTION, and each subsequent bid must exceed the preceding bid by 5% — the second bid is 10.5 ETH, the third bid is 11.025 $AUCTION, and so on. You don’t necessarily need to do the calculations yourself; the Bounce protocol will show you each bid’s target price.
Each participant pays the current bid price and the preceding bidder’s gas fee. When a new bid is placed, the preceding bidder not only receives a refund including their bid amount and gas fee, but also earns rewards equivalent to 2.5% of their bid price. After each bid is placed, a 24-hour countdown begins for the next higher bid. The auction ends when no higher bid emerges within 24 hours after the latest bid, making the last bidder the final winner of the auction who will receive an iPhone 15 Pro Max and its NFT.
As of September 9th, the highest bid stands at 14.071 $AUCTION. When the next bid comes in at 14.7745 $AUCTION, the current bidder receives a refund and an extra 0.3075 $AUCTION as rewards. This pattern repeats with subsequent bids, like when the next bid reaches 15.5132 $AUCTION, granting a refund and 0.323 $AUCTION in rewards to the bidder who initially paid 14.7745 $AUCTION. The Bounce iPhone 15 Auction is keeping everyone on their toes, with excitement building with each bid.
