## Blinds and lockups

Lockup Amount = Bid Amount + Added Blind

Adding blinds can be useful during auctions for hiding the true value of your bid from others since you only have to have the highest Bid Amount to win an auction. Note the amount you place for your bid is called a "lockup" because you won't get to spend your Lockup Amount until the auction ends.
