# Pre-IPO Markets

Pre-IPO markets follow the same design as other RWA markets, with a few important differences.

### Pricing

Pricing is determined only by the internal pricing mechanism.

This mechanism works the same way as for RWA markets, except **Pre-IPO markets do not have price caps**.

### Margin mode and liquidations

Pre-IPO markets operate in **isolated mode only**.

Unlike prelaunch markets, **liquidation fees still apply since the LLP is going to be a market-maker on these markets**.

### Funding

Funding works the same way as standard perp markets.

### Settlement

Pre-IPO markets will either be settled or have their prices adjusted, depending on market conditions around the time of the actual IPO.
