--- title: How Gnosis Batch Auction Works tags: gnosis_auction --- # How Gnosis Batch Auction Works - Imagine a pile of tokens to be sold in an auction - Sort all bids by price from highest to lowest - If there are bids with the same price, sort them from low bid amount to high bid amount - Start virtually distributing to bidders starting at the top of the list using the price of highest bid (while respecting participant’s max price) - At the first iteration, you’d distribute tokens only to the top bid - At the second iteration you’d distribute tokens to the first two bids using the price of the second bid - Repeat until you’re able to distribute all tokens - The first time all tokens are gone, sets the final clearing price and the list of participants who will get token ## Example Pile has 15 tokens At the end of the auction there are 4 bids, ordered by price: | Bid No. | Bid size | Bid price | | -------- | -------- | -------- | |1|2|20| |2|4|11| |3|5|11| |4|3|2| |5|7|0.5| |6|5|0.3| ### First iteration Distribute using price of 20 to the first bidder Bidder 1 gets 2/20=0.1 tokens Can’t distribute to bidder number two because he’s not willing to pay 20 14.9 tokens remaining ### Second iteration Distribute using price of 11 to the first two bidders Bidder 1 gets 2/11=0.181 tokens Bidder 2 gets 4/11=0.363 tokens 14.456 tokens remaining ### Third iteration Distribute using price of 11 to the first three bidders Bidder 1 gets 2/11=0.181 tokens Bidder 2 gets 4/11=0.363 tokens Bidder 3 gets 5/11=0.454 tokens 14.001 tokens remaining ### Fourth iteration Distribute using price of 2 to the first four bidders Bidder 1 gets 2/2=1 tokens Bidder 2 gets 4/2=2 tokens Bidder 3 gets 5/2=2.5 tokens Bidder 4 gets 3/2=1.5 tokens Can’t distribute to bidder number five because he’s not willing to pay 2 8 tokens remaining ### Fifth iteration Distribute using price of 0.5 to the first five bidders Bidder 1 gets 2/0.5=4 tokens Bidder 2 gets 4/0.5=8 tokens Bidder 3 gets 5/0.5=10 tokens Bidder 4 gets 3/0.5=6 tokens Bidder 5 gets 7/0.5=14 tokens (more than) All tokens were distributed ## Final Outcome Clearing price of the auction is 0.5 Bider distribution: Bidder 1 gets 4 tokens Bidder 2 gets 8 tokens Bidder 3 gets the remaining 3 tokens (and 3.5 bidding token refund) Bidders 4, 5 and 6 doesn't get any tokens (and full bidding token refund)
