PlusX, LPX, Fund and Anchor: ratios rather than dollar-only views
Learn the terms that make an LPX pool readable before judging a dollar view.
What this is
PlusX is a family of tools on PulseChain. LPX is one liquidity protocol in that family. LPX is a name, not an acronym.
PlusX has several tools. LPX is one of them, and its name does not stand for longer words.

What a ratio view can show
LPX reads the relationship between a Fund token and an Anchor token. When it sells Fund, it buys Anchor at the same time. It is not a 50/50 AMM, and a dollar-only view cannot tell the whole token story.
LPX compares two tokens. Selling one side means buying the other side.

How to check the view
Read the Fund and Anchor labels together, then compare their token amounts as a pair. Use the pool information and published documentation to check what each side represents before drawing a conclusion from a dollar chart.
Check both token names and amounts together. Do not rely on one dollar chart.

Ratios, Not Dollars
A short look at LPX's core idea: a pool is measured as the ratio of two tokens — a Fund side and an Anchor side — not in dollars. When the pool sells Fund it buys Anchor at the same time, so a move that looks wrong in dollars can be right in token terms.
LPX counts your pool in tokens, not dollars. When it sells one side it buys the other. A move can look bad in dollars but be right in tokens.
Read the steps instead
- LPX does not think in dollars. It thinks in the ratio of two tokens.
- The Fund token is the token you want yield on, for example WPLS.
- The Anchor token is the other side, often a stablecoin like DAI. Your yield is claimed in Anchor.
- Selling is buying. When the pool sells Fund, it buys Anchor at the same time.
- Every move is a swap of one side for the other, measured in tokens, not dollars.
- Judge it in dollars and a right move can look wrong. In ratio terms, the pool traded an expensive token for more of a cheap one.

Recap
- LPX is one PlusX liquidity protocol, and its name is not an acronym.
- A pool is read as a Fund and Anchor token ratio.
- Selling Fund means buying Anchor at the same time.
- A ratio view does not remove one-way-market risk.
