1. Launch Phase Mathematics

1.1 Token Allocation Formula

The total supply is divided between depositors and liquidity:

1depositorAllocation = (maxSupply * depositorAllocationBps) / 10000 2liquidityAllocation = maxSupply - depositorAllocation

Example with Standard Configuration:

ParameterValue
maxSupply1,000,000,000 (1B tokens)
depositorAllocationBps8000 (80%)
depositorAllocation800,000,000 tokens
liquidityAllocation200,000,000 tokens

1.2 Depositor Token Distribution

Depositors receive tokens from two sources:

1totalTokensMinted = baselineTokens + fastBonusTokens

Baseline Tokens (Linear Distribution)

Baseline tokens are distributed linearly based on deposit proportion:

1baselineTokensMax = depositorAllocation - fastBonusTokensMax 2baselineUnitsPerDeposit = (baselineTokensMax * 10^18) / maxDeposits 3baselineTokensMintable = (depositAmount * baselineUnitsPerDeposit) / 10^18

This simplifies to:

1baselineTokensMintable = depositAmount * baselineTokensMax / maxDeposits

Fast Bonus Tokens (Decreasing Curve)

The fast bonus uses a linear decreasing curve that rewards early depositors:

1fastBonusTokensMax = depositorAllocation / fastBonusScalar

Curve Definition:

The bonus rate decreases linearly from a maximum at start to zero at maxDeposits:

1bonusRate(x) = fastBonusMax * (1 - x/maxDeposits)

Where x is the cumulative deposit amount.

Integration for Deposit Amount:

For a deposit from position start to end:

1fastBonus = integral from start to end of bonusRate(x) dx 2 3area = maxDeposits * delta - (end^2 - start^2) / 2 4 where delta = end - start 5 6fastBonus = (2 * fastBonusTokensMax * area) / maxDeposits^2

Derivation:

1integral of (1 - x/M) dx from s to e 2= [x - x^2/(2M)] from s to e 3= (e - e^2/(2M)) - (s - s^2/(2M)) 4= (e - s) - (e^2 - s^2)/(2M) 5= delta - (e^2 - s^2)/(2M) 6 7Multiply by (fastBonusMax / maxDeposits): 8= fastBonusMax * (delta/M - (e^2 - s^2)/(2M^2)) 9= fastBonusMax * (2M*delta - (e^2 - s^2)) / (2M^2) 10 11Code implementation uses: 12area = M * delta - (e^2 - s^2) / 2 13fastBonus = (2 * F_max * scalar * area) / M^2 / scalar

1.3 Fast Bonus Distribution Analysis

50%50% of maxDeposits50% of max rateMidpoint
75%75% of maxDeposits25% of max rate
Last100% of maxDeposits0% of max rateNo bonus

Total Fast Bonus Distributed:

The total area under the curve equals exactly fastBonusTokensMax:

1Total = integral from 0 to M of (F_max/M) * (1 - x/M) dx 2 = (F_max/M) * [x - x^2/(2M)] from 0 to M 3 = (F_max/M) * (M - M/2) 4 = (F_max/M) * (M/2) 5 = F_max / 2 * ... 6 7Wait, let's recalculate: 8Total = integral from 0 to M of rate(x) dx 9where rate(x) = (2 * F_max / M) * (1 - x/M) 10 11= (2 * F_max / M) * [x - x^2/(2M)] from 0 to M 12= (2 * F_max / M) * (M - M/2) 13= (2 * F_max / M) * (M/2) 14= F_max

This confirms the total fast bonus distributed equals exactly fastBonusTokensMax.

2. Liquidity Pool Mathematics

2.1 AMM Constant Product Formula

The exchange uses the standard constant product formula with a 0.3% fee:

1x * y = k

Where:

  • x = reserveSellSide (token reserve)
  • y = reserveBuySide (ETH reserve)
  • k = constant product

2.2 Swap Output Calculation

Buy Tokens (ETH -> Tokens):

1amountInAfterFee = amountIn - (amountIn / 333) // ~0.3% fee 2tokensOut = (reserveSellSide * amountInAfterFee) / (reserveBuySide + amountInAfterFee)

Sell Tokens (Tokens -> ETH):

1amountInAfterFee = amountIn - (amountIn / 333) // ~0.3% fee 2ethOut = (reserveBuySide * amountInAfterFee) / (reserveSellSide + amountInAfterFee)

2.3 Fee Analysis

The fee is calculated as amountIn / 333:

1Actual fee rate = 1/333 = 0.3003003...%

This is a close approximation to 0.3% (0.003).

Fee Distribution:

  • Buy orders: Fee taken in ETH, added to protocolFeeClaimableNative
  • Sell orders: Fee taken in tokens, added to protocolFeeClaimableToken

2.4 Reserve Update Mechanics

After each swap, reserves are updated:

Buy Swap:

1newReserveSellSide = reserveSellSide - tokensOut 2newReserveBuySide = reserveBuySide + amountIn - fee

Sell Swap:

1newReserveSellSide = reserveSellSide + amountIn - feeTokens 2newReserveBuySide = reserveBuySide - ethOut

2.5 Price Impact Formula

The spot price before a trade:

1spotPrice = reserveBuySide / reserveSellSide (ETH per token)

The effective price for a trade:

1effectivePrice = amountIn / amountOut

Price impact:

1priceImpact = (effectivePrice - spotPrice) / spotPrice

2.6 Liquidity Protection

The contract enforces a 99% reserve drain protection:

1if (tokensOut * 100 >= reserveSellSide * 99) revert InsufficientLiquidity();

This prevents any single trade from draining more than 99% of the token reserves.

3. Price Floor Mathematics

3.1 Floor Order Creation

When liquidity is deployed, the floor order is created with the following calculation:

1// Calculate actual liquidity allocation proportional to deposits 2actualLiquidityAllocation = liquidityAllocation * totalDeposits / maxDeposits 3 4// Get starting exchange rate (tokens per 1 ETH) 5startingLiquidityPoolRatio = getMintableAmount(1) 6 7// Split ETH between pool and floor order 8depositsToLiquidityPool = actualLiquidityAllocation / startingLiquidityPoolRatio 9floorOrderEth = totalDeposits - depositsToLiquidityPool 10floorOrderTokens = totalSupply() // All minted tokens

3.2 Floor Order Pricing

The floor order price is:

1floorPrice = floorOrderEth / floorOrderTokens (ETH per token)

This creates a guaranteed exit price for all token holders.

3.3 Floor Order Properties

PropertyValue
Order ID0 (first order, reserved)
Makeraddress(0) (uncancellable)
isBuytrue
offerAmountfloorOrderEth
desiredAmounttotalSupply() at deployment

3.4 Floor Order Economics

Key Insight: The floor order is designed to buy back ALL user-issued supply at a discount to the mint rate.

When a user sells into the floor order:

  1. They receive ETH from the floor order
  2. Their tokens are burned (not transferred)
  3. This reduces total supply (deflationary)

Deflationary Mechanics:

1On floor fill: 2 - floorOrderEth decreases 3 - floorOrderTokens decreases 4 - totalSupply() decreases (burn) 5 - Remaining holders' tokens become more valuable

3.5 Floor Price vs Initial Mint Price

Let's analyze the relationship:

1initialMintPrice ≈ totalDeposits / totalTokensMinted 2floorPrice = floorOrderEth / totalTokensMinted

Since floorOrderEth < totalDeposits (some ETH goes to AMM), we have:

1floorPrice < initialMintPrice

The floor represents a minor discount to the mint rate, providing a guaranteed exit.

3.6 Floor Order Fill Mechanics

When selling into the floor order:

1ethReceived = (tokensDelivered * offerAmount) / desiredAmount

The floor order uses proportional fills, allowing partial execution.

4. Mathematical Simulations

Fast Bonus Calculation for Depositor 1:

1start = 0, end = 10 ETH, maxDep = 100 ETH 2delta = 10 3term1 = 100 * 10 = 1000 4term2 = (100 - 0) / 2 = 50 5area = 1000 - 50 = 950 6 7coefficient = (100,000,000 * 10^18 * 2) / 100 = 2 * 10^24 8fastBonus = (2 * 10^24 * 950) / 100 = 1.9 * 10^25 / 10^18 = 19,000,000

Simulation 2: Liquidity Deployment

Pre-Deployment State:

1totalDeposits = 100 ETH 2totalTokensMinted = 800,000,000 tokens 3liquidityAllocation = 200,000,000 tokens

Deployment Calculations:

1actualLiquidityAllocation = 200,000,000 * 100 / 100 = 200,000,000 tokens 2 3startingLiquidityPoolRatio = getMintableAmount(1 ETH) 4 = baselineTokens(1) + fastBonus(1) 5 = 7,000,000 + ~2,000,000 (at start) 6 = ~9,000,000 tokens per ETH (first depositor rate) 7 8Wait, but at deployment, deposits are complete. Let's recalculate: 9At end of deposits (start = 100, end = 101): 10 fastBonus = 0 (curve is exhausted) 11 baselineTokens = 7,000,000 per ETH 12 13startingLiquidityPoolRatio ≈ 7,000,000 tokens per ETH 14 15depositsToLiquidityPool = 200,000,000 / 7,000,000 ≈ 28.57 ETH 16floorOrderEth = 100 - 28.57 = 71.43 ETH 17floorOrderTokens = 800,000,000 tokens

Post-Deployment State:

1AMM Initial State: 2 reserveSellSide = 200,000,000 tokens 3 reserveBuySide = 28.57 ETH 4 k = 5,714,000,000 5 6Floor Order: 7 offerAmount = 71.43 ETH 8 desiredAmount = 800,000,000 tokens 9 floorPrice = 71.43 / 800,000,000 = 0.0000000893 ETH/token

Simulation 3: Price Floor Guarantee

Floor Price Analysis:

1floorPrice = 71.43 ETH / 800,000,000 tokens 2 = 0.00000008929 ETH per token 3 = 89.29 gwei per token

Initial AMM Price:

1ammPrice = 28.57 ETH / 200,000,000 tokens 2 = 0.00000014285 ETH per token 3 = 142.85 gwei per token

Ratio:

1floorPrice / ammPrice = 0.625 (62.5%)

The floor price is approximately 62.5% of the initial AMM price, providing a guaranteed 37.5% maximum loss from initial entry.

Simulation 4: AMM Trading Scenarios

Setup:

1reserveSellSide = 200,000,000 tokens 2reserveBuySide = 28.57 ETH

Buy 1 ETH worth of tokens:

1amountInAfterFee = 1 - (1/333) = 0.997 ETH 2tokensOut = (200,000,000 * 0.997) / (28.57 + 0.997) 3 = 199,400,000 / 29.567 4 = 6,745,580 tokens 5 6effectivePrice = 1 ETH / 6,745,580 tokens = 0.000000148 ETH/token 7priceImpact = (0.148 - 0.143) / 0.143 = 3.5%

Sell 10,000,000 tokens:

1amountInAfterFee = 10,000,000 - (10,000,000/333) = 9,970,030 tokens 2ethOut = (28.57 * 9,970,030) / (200,000,000 + 9,970,030) 3 = 284,843,556 / 209,970,030 4 = 1.357 ETH 5 6effectivePrice = 1.357 ETH / 10,000,000 tokens = 0.0000001357 ETH/token 7spotPrice = 28.57 / 200,000,000 = 0.00000014285 ETH/token 8priceImpact = (0.1429 - 0.1357) / 0.1429 = 5.0%

Simulation 5: Floor Order Consumption

Initial Floor State:

1floorOrderEth = 71.43 ETH 2floorOrderTokens = 800,000,000 tokens

Scenario: Sell 100,000,000 tokens into floor:

1ethReceived = (100,000,000 * 71.43) / 800,000,000 2 = 8.929 ETH 3 4After fill: 5 floorOrderEth = 71.43 - 8.929 = 62.50 ETH 6 floorOrderTokens = 800,000,000 - 100,000,000 = 700,000,000 tokens 7 tokens burned = 100,000,000 8 new totalSupply = 900,000,000 (was 1B)

New Floor Price:

1newFloorPrice = 62.50 / 700,000,000 = 0.0000000893 ETH/token

Note: Floor price remains constant! This is because the ratio is maintained during proportional fills.

5. Invariant Validations

Invariant 1: Total Token Conservation

At any point after liquidity deployment:

1totalSupply() = reserveSellSide + tokensInOrders + tokensHeldByUsers + protocolFeeClaimableToken

Where tokensInOrders includes:

  • Tokens locked in limit sell orders
  • Floor order does NOT hold tokens (it's a buy order)

Invariant 2: ETH Conservation

1contract.balance = reserveBuySide + ethInBuyOrders + protocolFeeClaimableNative

Where ethInBuyOrders includes:

  • ETH locked in limit buy orders
  • ETH in the floor order

Invariant 3: Fast Bonus Total

1sum of all fastBonus tokens = fastBonusTokensMax (when maxDeposits reached)

The curve is designed such that integrating from 0 to maxDeposits yields exactly fastBonusTokensMax.

Invariant 4: Baseline Token Total

1sum of all baselineTokens = baselineTokensMax (when maxDeposits reached)

Linear distribution ensures proportional allocation.

Invariant 5: Floor Order Solvency

The floor order always has sufficient ETH to buy back ALL minted tokens at the floor price:

1floorOrderEth / floorOrderTokens >= initial floor price

This ratio is maintained during proportional fills.

Invariant 6: AMM Constant Product (approximately)

After fees, the constant product should approximately hold:

1newReserveSellSide * newReserveBuySide ≈ k (minus fees)

The product increases slightly due to fee accumulation.

Summary

The FlexDex mathematical model is sound and provides:

  1. Fair Launch Mechanics: The fast bonus curve rewards early participants while ensuring all depositors receive a proportional baseline allocation.

  2. Sustainable Liquidity: The AMM uses proven constant-product mechanics with reasonable fees (0.3%).

  3. Price Floor Protection: The floor order provides a guaranteed minimum exit price, with deflationary mechanics when utilized.

  4. Aligned Incentives: Early depositors get better rates, but later depositors still receive fair value. The floor burns tokens, benefiting all remaining holders.

The key insight is that the floor order creates asymmetric risk/reward near the floor price: limited downside (floor price is known) with unlimited upside potential.
