The million x increase in the native PLS token supply poses a problem as the 1:1 copy of the liquidity pools in quantity terms will remain the same. This would make the PRC20 (the ERC20 equivalent) have a value 10^6 times lower compared to PLS.

Example of a ETH/USDT Pool
4 / n
This pool will be copied 1:1 on the date of the snapshot. It will become WPLS / pUSDT.
Because the blockchain is immutable, the plan of the harvester bot is to inject 1000x liquidity on the ETH (PLS) side and extract the coins on the other side.
5 / n
The bot will come in and inject 1000 times more WPLS and extract pUSDT until the X * Y = K holds again.
The bot injects 33,795,171 wPLS
and extracts 107,315,171 pUSDT
only 0.0999% left of the other token in the pool 🧛♂️
6 / n
1000 * 1000 = 1 million times liquidity rebalancing.
This will keep the same ratio of the native PLS token to the pUSDT token like on the Ethereum network (accounting for the PLS inflation).
7 / n
So if the harvester bot harvests 99% of all liquidity pools and rebuilds them in PulseX it is going to be a huge (probably the biggest ever) vampire attack.
This is insane but also could be quite the brilliant move!
8 / n
If you provide liquidity you can guard against this by removing the liquidity during the snapshot phase (will be announced before PulseChain launch).
9 / n
Of course this could end up pretty good for the LPs because they will receive more PLS tokens for their copied PRC20 tokens. As PLS the native token might appreciate far more than the PRC20 tokens.

Also, don't forget to sacrifice on pulsex.com to get in on day 1
21% of the fees used for PulseX buy&burn: $8,719,228.29379 * 0.21
= $1,831,037.9417
😱 Roughly 2 million $ burn per day from ~9mil in fees.
Assuming PulseX will trade the same dollar value as Ethereum. This of course won’t be the case (yet?) but could change in the future after the price discovery.
