# Platform Benefits

Our Dutch auction model in "The Dutchman" platform includes additional protections to enhance transparency and fairness:

* **Bid Commitments**: All bids are cash-committed, securing funds and ensuring serious participation.
* **No Sell Mechanism**: Participants cannot sell tokens during the auction period, maintaining auction integrity.
* **Full Refunds for Failed Raises**: If the auction does not meet its minimum raise requirements, all bids are refunded.
* **Immediate Liquidity**: Upon completion, tokens are distributed, and liquidity is automatically provided on a DEX, allowing participants to trade immediately.

This model ensures that token launches on The Dutchman are rooted in fair price discovery, transparent mechanisms, and the protection of all participants. By eliminating unfair advantages and speculative pricing, our Dutch auction sets a new standard for equitable and reliable token launches.
