1. Increase in Awareness: When there is an increase in awareness of the project, the demand can increase.
2. Increase in Utility: When there is an increase in utility in the project, the demand can increase.
Keep in mind: The core demand driver for a token is always the value creation of the project.
If this is not the case, the token price will flame out faster than you'd expect.
Tokens have MANY benefits for founders and investors. But please remember, the token itself is NEVER the driver of value.
A token acts as a MULTIPLIER of the value that the products or services create. That means, if value creation is near 0, the token cannot multiply anything.
Modeling demand for tokens is the hardest part of tokenomics.
There are very few models, and so far, none have accurately predicted the future.
We have created our own tokenomics calculation template to model different demand drivers.
The tokenomics calculation template is included in our "Intro to Tokenomics" course.
This course is the FASTEST way to learn the basics of tokenomics.
The Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool (or LBP) was developed by @Balancer to help solve DEX token launch problems such as bots & frontrunning, centralisation of tokens and low seed liquidity to name a few
To understand the LBP a little better we have to to understand what *weighted* pools are
Uniswap V2 pools have a fixed 50/50 weighting, what this means is that the pool assume that 50% of the value of the entire pool is in one of the two assets
Fully diluted market cap (FDMC) is the maximum supply of tokens multiplied by the token price.
It asks the question: What if all tokens were in circulation?
If a #fullydilutedmarketcap is much higher than the market cap, it means there are a lot of tokens locked up waiting to come on the market.
Example:
If the market cap is only 10% of the FDMC and assuming the tokens are all released in the next year, the project has to demonstrate 10x growth (1000% !) in a year just to MAINTAIN its current price.
