FOMO Tool - Token Minting Model Calculator Guide

FOMO Tool is a token issuance simulation tool designed to help Web3 projects quickly predict token price trends and investor returns before finalizing parameters.

By simulating a complete AMM (Automated Market Maker) process, projects can:

  • Validate parameter configuration reasonableness
  • Evaluate investor ROI potential
  • Optimize token economic models
  • Reduce price volatility risks at launch

One: Core Concepts

What is Token Minting?

Token minting refers to the process of releasing a fixed amount of new tokens into the liquidity pool during fixed periods (e.g., daily), thereby affecting token price.

This is a common mechanism in Fair Launch models, serving purposes like:

  • Gradual token release: Prevent massive selloffs at launch
  • Continuous liquidity provision: Maintain trading depth
  • Periodic price appreciation: Create investment appeal

Two: Workflow

FOMO Tool's core is simulating a multi-round minting process:

Initial State (Round 0)
  ↓
Round 1: New tokens → Calculate price → Auto market making → Record stats
  ↓
Round 2: New tokens → Calculate price → Auto market making → Record stats
  ↓
...repeat multiple rounds...
  ↓
Final Results: Price curve, ROI, LP statistics

Each round follows the same steps with different input parameters.


Three: Core Algorithm - AMM Constant Product Formula

FOMO Tool uses a Uniswap V2-style AMM to calculate prices and trading volumes.

Basic Formula

x * y = k

Where:

  • x = Token reserve amount
  • y = BNB reserve amount
  • k = Constant (liquidity invariant)

Price Calculation

Price = Y / X (BNB ratio per token)

For example:

Current State:
  X = 1,000,000 tokens
  Y = 100 BNB
  Price = 100 / 1,000,000 = 0.0001 BNB/token

User purchases:
  Pays 10 BNB
  Calculate tokens received using x * y = k
  New price becomes slightly higher (price appreciation)

Four: Parameter Guide

When using FOMO Tool, you need to fill in 6 key parameters:

1. Total Supply

The total token quantity the project plans to issue.

Example: 100 million (100,000,000).

Recommendation: Consider future inflation and burning mechanisms. Usually set to a relatively large number.

2. Initial Price

The project's token price at launch, measured in BNB.

Example: 0.0001 BNB/token = 10,000 tokens per BNB.

Recommendation: Directly affects initial liquidity depth and investor purchasing power. Too high will trigger MAX_ITERATIONS warning.

3. Max Purchase Per Address

The maximum tokens each address can purchase in a single minting round.

Example: 100,000 tokens.

Purpose: Prevent whales from concentrated selling in early stages.

4. Auto Purchase Ratio

The percentage of tokens automatically repurchased each round (corresponds to service fee portion).

Example: 10% (10% of revenue used for buyback).

Purpose: Creates price support and prevents dumping.

5. Liquidity Ratio

The percentage of BNB from user purchases that gets added to the liquidity pool each round.

Example: 80% (remaining 20% as project revenue).

Purpose: Affects liquidity depth and slippage.

6. Minting Times Per Day

How many rounds of minting occur per day.

Example: 2 times (12:00 PM and 6:00 PM).

Purpose: Determines the frequency of price appreciation.


Five: Detailed Calculation Process

Steps Per Minting Round

Assume we set:

  • Total supply: 100 million tokens
  • Initial price: 0.0001 BNB
  • Max per address: 100,000 tokens
  • Auto purchase ratio: 10%
  • Liquidity ratio: 80%
  • Daily minting times: 2

Round 1 begins:

1️⃣ New Token Addition (First minting)
   Initialize based on initial price and liquidity:
   - Initial liquidity = 10,000,000 tokens + 1,000 BNB

2️⃣ User Purchases
   - Maximum 100 addresses, each can buy max 100,000 tokens
   - Assume users collectively purchased 900,000 tokens for 90 BNB

3️⃣ Auto Repurchase (10% of 90 BNB = 9 BNB)
   - Use 9 BNB to repurchase tokens from pool
   - Price continues to appreciate

4️⃣ Add Liquidity (80% of 90 BNB = 72 BNB)
   - Add 72 BNB to liquidity pool
   - Add corresponding tokens to maintain x*y=k

5️⃣ Record Statistics
   - Current price
   - Total user BNB payment
   - Project revenue (20% = 18 BNB)
   - Remaining tokens to mint

Round 2 begins (based on Round 1's final state)...

And so on until all tokens are minted.


Six: Output Metrics Explained

Total Minted

The total token quantity already released to the market.

Minting Times

The actual number of minting rounds completed.

Total User Payment (BNB)

The total BNB users spent throughout the entire process.

Service Fee

The BNB the project receives from the non-liquidity portion (20% of user payments).

Auto Market Pool

The total BNB used for automatic buybacks.

Current Price

The token price after the final round.

Max Growth Rate

The percentage increase from initial price to peak price.

Example:
Initial price = 0.0001 BNB
Peak price = 0.0005 BNB
Growth rate = (0.0005 - 0.0001) / 0.0001 = 400%

LP Query

Query specific round LP data and investor returns.

After selecting a round's query index, you can see:

  • That round's investor ROI
  • Investment amount and redemption value

Seven: Common Scenarios

Scenario 1: Price Volatility Too High

Problem: Price rises sharply in early rounds, then plateaus quickly, causing losses for late-stage buyers.

Solution:

  • Increase Daily minting times → Spread releases for smoother curves
  • Decrease Initial price → Increase initial liquidity depth
  • Increase Auto purchase ratio → Add more price support

Scenario 2: Insufficient Liquidity

Problem: Large purchases face excessive slippage.

Solution:

  • Increase Liquidity ratio → More BNB enters pool
  • Increase Initial liquidity → Higher baseline depth
  • Decrease Initial price → More tokens in pool

Scenario 3: Verify Achievable ROI

Problem: Investors want to know the required price appreciation to break even.

Solution: Query a specific round index in the results, compare that round's ROI with current price to understand:

  • Actual returns at current price
  • Required appreciation for target ROI

Eight: Important Notes

Extreme Parameters Cause Excessive Iterations

If parameters are set irrationally (e.g., very low initial price), you may see:

⚠️ Current parameters would require more than 1000 simulation rounds

Reason: Each round can only mint a limited amount of tokens. Extreme parameters require thousands of rounds to complete.

Solutions:

  • Increase Initial price
  • Increase Max purchase per address
  • Increase Daily minting times

Price Prediction Accuracy

FOMO Tool operates under these assumptions:

  • Constant purchase demand each round
  • No unexpected large-scale selloffs
  • AMM slippage calculated per formula

Note: Real markets fluctuate. This tool is for reference only, not the sole decision-making basis.

Key takeaways:

  • 6 parameters control every aspect of the minting process
  • AMM constant product formula determines price calculation
  • Each round follows the same steps with different base states
  • Output metrics cover price, liquidity, revenue, ROI and more
  • Parameter adjustments fine-tune price trends and investor experience
