+# Introduction & Overview
+
+## What is the Uniswap Liquidity Launchpad?
+
+The Uniswap Liquidity Launchpad is a comprehensive framework for bootstrapping initial liquidity for Uniswap V4 pools through fair, transparent price discovery (see <a href='/whitepaper_cca.pdf' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>whitepaper</a>). It combines three critical functions into a single, composable system:
+
+1. **Price Discovery** - Run fair auctions using a novel Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) mechanism to establish market price
+2. **Liquidity Bootstrapping** - Automatically seed Uniswap V4 pools with auction proceeds at the discovered price
+3. **Token Creation** (Optional) - Deploy new ERC-20 tokens with rich metadata and optional cross-chain capabilities
+
+Unlike traditional approaches that rely on centralized market makers or expose participants to timing games and manipulation, the Uniswap Liquidity Launchpad provides a decentralized, mechanism-design-driven approach for establishing deep, sustainable liquidity from day one.
+
+
+### Key Benefits
+
+- **Fair Price Discovery** - Continuous clearing auctions eliminate timing games and establish credible market prices
+- **Immediate Deep Liquidity** - Seamless transition from price discovery to active Uniswap V4 trading with substantial initial depth
+- **Permissionless** - Anyone can bootstrap liquidity or participate in price discovery without gatekeepers
+- **Transparent** - All parameters set upfront; real-time visibility into price discovery progress
+- **Composable** - Modular architecture supports multiple auction formats and distribution strategies
+- **Gas Efficient** - Optimized implementations using Permit2, multicall, and efficient data structures
+
+## Core Components
+
+The Uniswap Liquidity Launchpad framework is built on three coordinated components that work together to bootstrap liquidity:
+
+1. **[Liquidity Launcher →](https://github.com/Uniswap/liquidity-launcher)** Central orchestration contract that coordinates distribution and liquidity deployment
+2. **[Token Factory →](https://github.com/Uniswap/uerc20-factory)** (Optional) Creates new ERC-20 tokens with metadata, or integrates existing tokens
+3. **Liquidity Strategies** - Modular contracts for different price discovery and liquidity mechanisms (prebuilt [LBP Strategy](https://github.com/Uniswap/liquidity-launcher) or [custom strategies](quickstarts/building.md))
+
+Each component is designed to be composable and extensible, allowing you to customize your liquidity bootstrapping while maintaining security and fairness guarantees.
+
+## High-Level Architecture

+
+### Typical Liquidity Bootstrapping Flow
+
+The liquidity bootstrapping process follows a straightforward sequence from price discovery to active trading:
+
+1. **Prepare Token** (Optional)
+
+   Launch a new token using `LiquidityLauncher.createToken()` via the factory, which deploys a UERC20 or UERC20Superchain token and mints the initial supply to the launcher. Alternatively, use an existing token and approve the launcher to distribute it.
+
+2. **Configure Liquidity Bootstrap**
+
+   Set up your bootstrapping parameters:
+   - **Auction parameters**: Supply release schedule, price floor, duration & timing, and graduation threshold
+   - **Pool parameters**: Token split (max 50% to auction), fee tier & tick spacing, migration delay, and optional hooks
+
+3. **Start Price Discovery**
+
+   Call `LiquidityLauncher.distributeToken()` to allocate tokens to the LBP Strategy. This deploys a CCA auction with the allocated tokens, and price discovery begins as participants submit bids.
+
+4. **Fair Price Discovery**
+
+   As bids arrive, the auction continuously clears orders with automatic bid spreading, ensuring a uniform clearing price and real-time transparency for all participants. This establishes the fair market price for the token.
+
+5. **Auction Completion**
+
+   When the auction ends, the system checks if the graduation threshold was met. If graduated, the process proceeds to liquidity migration. If not, all bidders receive refunds.
+
+6. **Liquidity Deployment**
+
+   After the migration block delay, anyone can trigger `migrate()` to:
+   - Initialize the Uniswap V4 pool at the discovered price
+   - Deploy full-range liquidity using auction proceeds + reserve tokens
+   - Deploy a one-sided position (if remaining tokens exist)
+   - Mint the LP NFT to the position recipient
+
+7. **Active Liquid Market**
+
+   The pool is now live on Uniswap V4 with deep initial liquidity, making the token immediately tradable across the entire ecosystem with sustainable market depth.
