You can't simply ignore it. Key insights in my Twitter thread.

Token Pricing Model by RubiksWeb3hub on Twitter ✨

Hi there! I've found an interesting thread for you. Here are the key points from the thread:

🔹 The token pricing model determines the price at which a token is bought, sold, or valued, taking into account specific mechanisms in tokenomics.

🔹 There are two primary models for pre-launch tokens: General Pricing Analysis and Dynamic Pricing Analysis.

🔹 General Pricing Analysis involves valuation using various models to determine the initial launch supply, demand, and liquidity.

🔹 Dynamic Pricing Analysis focuses on switching costs for users and employs a Markov strategy to determine optimal pricing based on subscription prices and token issuance.

🔹 When determining the price of a token, several factors are considered: supply, token distributions, token allocations, and liquidity.
