Token Launch Calculator
Calculate token economics, liquidity pool allocation, and market cap for token launches
1. What is token launch calculation?
Token launch calculation is the process of determining the tokenomics parameters for a new cryptocurrency or token, including liquidity pool allocation, initial price, market capitalization, and fully diluted valuation. These calculations are critical for planning a successful token launch.
2. How does it work?
The calculator uses the Automated Market Maker (AMM) formula to determine token price based on the ratio of ETH to tokens in the liquidity pool. It calculates: tokens for pool = total supply × liquidity %, price = ETH amount / tokens in pool, market cap = circulating supply × price, and FDV = total supply × price.
Token Launch Planning
Launching a token requires careful planning of tokenomics. This calculator helps determine how many tokens to allocate to liquidity pools, what the initial price will be, and key metrics like market cap and FDV.
Liquidity Allocation
Typical projects allocate 20-50% of total supply to initial liquidity. Higher allocation provides better price stability and lower slippage, but means less tokens for team, community, and development.
Market Cap vs FDV
Market Cap is the value of circulating tokens, while Fully Diluted Value (FDV) is the value if all tokens were in circulation. Large differences indicate potential future dilution.
3. Examples
Community Token Launch
1,000,000 supply, 35% liquidity (350K tokens), 10 ETH
→ Price: 0.0000285 ETH/token
→ FDV: 28,500 ETH (~$95.7M at $3,350/ETH)Protocol Governance Token
500,000,000 supply, 15% liquidity (75M tokens), 200 ETH
→ Price: 0.00000266 ETH/token
→ FDV: 1,330,000 ETH (~$4.5B at $3,350/ETH)Infrastructure DAO Token
100,000,000 supply, 40% liquidity (40M tokens), 75 ETH
→ Price: 0.00000187 ETH/token
→ FDV: 187,500 ETH (~$629M at $3,350/ETH)
→ Low concentration risk
