In the past, the choices were:
Safemoon
Not Safemoon
SafeVault introduced a third option:
Kinda Safemoon
So, how are these concepts related mathematically.
Let's take $1,000. If you planned to invest in crypto, you might divide like so:
$500 -> Safemoon
$500 -> Other
OR
$100 -> Safemoon
$900 -> Other
Now, let's introduce SafeVault. Scenario 1 might look like this:
$250 -> Safemoon
$250 -> SafeVault
$500 -> Other
Scenario 2 might look like this:
$100 -> Safemoon
$100 -> SafeVault
$800 -> Other
The impact of SafeVault is therefore ambiguous.
However, we can quantify a few things.
We know that for every dollar that cycles through Safemoon, $0.05 is reflected.
We know that for every dollar that cycles through SafeVault, $0.011 is reflected.
For every dollar spent on other, we get no reflections.
Here's the crux of the matter. Every dollar SafeVault pulls from Safemoon diminishes reflections on that dollar by 78%. However, for every dollar SafeVault pulls from Other increases reflections by 22% of their potential value in Safemoon.
Now, we will never know just how much of SafeVault's volume would have gone to Safemoon or Other, but we can say with certainty that, in order to claim it "helps" Safemoon, the dollars pulled from Other need to be 3.55x that of dollars pulled from Safemoon.
78/22 = 3.55
So, if SafeVault has volume around $1M, $780k worth would need to come from outside the Safemoon ecosystem to uphold their claim that SafeVault helps Safemoon.
One thing I have not personally seen discussed, though I'm sure it exists somewhere in the #safemoon zeitgeist, is what happens when/if the burn is ever halted, meaning reflections are not allowed to go to the burn wallet.
This is extremely important. Here's why:
Never underestimate the denominator. It changes everything. 1/1 is just 1, but 1/0.001 is 1,000. Denominator is important.
Your token supply is likely at the forefront of your mind, right. You watch that number with regularity. One day, you may not.
The equation, as it stands now, for calculating reflection income is:
(Your Tokens * 0.05 * Trade Volume) / Total Supply
Total Supply is currently 1 Quadrillion, due to the fact the burn wallet is still included, but what happens if they stop the burn?
