How to Scientifically Set the Initial Token Price?
The initial token price is fundamentally determined by the asset ratio when creating a liquidity pool. Here’s a step-by-step explanation:
1. Core Pricing Principle
When you deposit assets into a decentralized exchange (DEX), the token price is automatically calculated based on the ratio of the two assets in the liquidity pool:
Token Price = Base Asset Amount / Token Amount
2. Practical Examples
-
Deposit 100 USDT + 100 TOKEN → Initial Price = 1 USDT/TOKEN
-
Deposit 100 USDT + 10,000 TOKEN → Initial Price = 0.01 USDT/TOKEN
-
Deposit 500 USDT + 250 TOKEN → Initial Price = 2 USDT/TOKEN
3. Non-Stablecoin Pricing (e.g., BNB/SOL)
When using volatile assets (like BNB or SOL) as the base currency:
-
Calculate in the base asset:
Token Price = Base Asset Amount (e.g., BNB) / Token Amount
Example: Deposit 1 BNB + 100 TOKEN → Initial Price = 0.01 BNB/TOKEN -
Convert to USD value:
Multiply by the current market price of the base asset (e.g., BNB/USDT).
Example: If 1 BNB = 300 USDT, the USD equivalent price = 3 USDT/TOKEN.
