Design Tokenomics: CSV CALCULATOR

How to Design Robust Tokenomics: Free Tokenomics Calculator

If you are preparing to launch a new token and want to make sure your tokenomics is on point, in this article I will show you how to use the tokenomics calculator I made in excel.

This tool I made simplifies the process of crafting detailed and effective tokenomics. In this article, I will walk you through how to use this framework, its features and how it can benefit your token release.

It guides you through the entire process, from setting initial parameters to detailing token distribution, ensuring that you cover all the essential aspects for a successful launch of your token.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Tokenomics Calculator

Step 1: Access the CSV

Once you receive the CSV file, the first thing you will see is the home page with some pre-info. To start editing, you need to make a copy of the file. Click 'Make a Copy', and you will have a new editable version of the CSV.

Step 2: Set Initial Parameters

Start by entering the current price of the currency you will use, such as Solana. For example, if the current price of Solana is $160, enter this figure in the CSV. This value helps in various calculations such as market cap, liquidity pool and total value locked.

Step 3: Enter Key Dates

Enter crucial dates such as the pre-sale start date, funding date and liquidity pool launch date. This helps you keep track of your schedule and make sure you meet all necessary deadlines.

Step 4: Enter Token Data

Fill in the basic details of your token. I'll give you an example with our memecoin $SHRIMP:

• Token Name: For example, Shrimp.
• Ticker: SHRIMP.
• Supply: Total supply, e.g., 1 billion tokens.
• Decimals: The number of decimal places supported by your token.
• Description: A brief description of your token.
• Contract Address: The smart contract address of your token.
• Deployer Wallet: The wallet with the authority to deploy the token.

These details help you keep track of your token's essential information.

Step 5: Tokenomics Page

Navigate to the tokenomics page to see a graphical representation of your token distribution. This section includes several categories such as:

• Liquidity Pool: Typically 10-40% for utility tokens, 70-90% for meme coins.
• Airdrops: 10-20%.
• Team Allocation: 5-10% (or zero, depending on your strategy).

For team allocation, it is common to allocate a small percentage to ensure that the team is incentivized without dominating the token supply. Examples of successful tokenomics can be found on platforms such as Coincarp.

Here, you can study the tokenomics of established tokens such as Bonk, Jupiter and Jito, which provide a variety of allocation strategies.

Detailed Calculations for Launching Your Token

Pre-Sale Page

This section helps you calculate your fundraising goals:

• Hard Cap: The maximum amount you wish to collect, for example, 100 Sol.
• Sale Price: Sets the price per token.
• Minimum and Maximum Buy Amounts: The range for individual purchases, for example, minimum 0.1 Sol and maximum 3 Sol.

This helps you determine how much each investor can buy and the total financing potential.

Liquidity Pool Page

Summarize the conditions of your liquidity pool:

• Funding Amount: Total raised and any additional funds you contribute.
• Launch Price: The initial price of your token in the liquidity pool.
• Market Cap: The total market capitalization based on the launch price.

For example, if you raised 100 Sol and add another 100 Sol, the total funding for the liquidity pool would be 200 Sol.

Details of the Airdrop

Calculate the cost and distribution of your airdrop:

• Total Tokens for Airdrop: The number of tokens allocated for the airdrop.
• Number of Wallets: How many wallets will receive the airdrop.
• Cost per Transaction: Fees associated with the distribution of airdrop.

For example, allocating 100 million tokens to 10,000 wallets will show the total cost and the amount each wallet will receive.

Finding Examples of Successful Tokenomics

I emphasize the importance of researching successful tokenomics to guide your own. Websites such as CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap are excellent resources for this.

You can look up the initial token allocations of well-known projects and see how they distribute tokens among various categories, including liquidity pool, airdrops, equipment, consultants, marketing and treasury.

Final Summary and Adjustments

After filling in all the details, return to the summary page to see an overview of your tokenomics. This includes all key information, making it easy to review and adjust as needed.

You can make changes at any stage, and the tool will automatically update the relevant calculations.
