Tokenomics

Understanding how token economics work on Quik.Meme helps you create better tokens and make smarter trading decisions.

Token Supply​

Initial Supply​

When you create a token:

  • Fixed Supply: 1,000,000,000 tokens (1 billion)
  • All tokens minted at deployment
  • No additional minting possible
  • Supply decreases over time via burns

Supply Reduction​

Token supply decreases through:

  1. Fee Burns: Tokens from pool fees are burned
  2. Buyback Burns: 25% of collected BNB fees buy and burn tokens
  3. Deflationary: Supply only goes down, never up

Circulating Supply​

All tokens are immediately in circulation:

  • No team allocation
  • No vesting periods
  • No locked tokens
  • 100% available for trading from deployment

This is a fair launch model - everyone has equal access.

Virtual Liquidity System​

Quik.Meme's most innovative feature.

How Virtual Liquidity Works​

Two Different Amounts:

  1. Physical Liquidity (Actual BNB in pool):

    • Real BNB that backs trading
    • Determines actual trade execution
    • Lower amount (capital efficient)

  2. Virtual Amount (For market cap calculation):

    • Used to calculate market cap
    • Higher amount (market presence)
    • Makes token appear more valuable

Why This Matters​

Traditional Launchpad:

  • Need 5 BNB physical liquidity from creator
  • Market cap based on 5 BNB
  • High capital requirement ($1,500+)
  • Barrier to entry for most people

Quik.Meme:

  • ZERO BNB required from creator
  • Virtual liquidity created automatically by platform
  • Market cap appears high instantly
  • Better rankings on DexScreener
  • Only ~$0.50 gas fee total cost
  • Anyone can afford to launch
  • Democratizes token creation

Example Comparison​

Token A (Traditional Launchpad):

  • Creator pays: 5 BNB ($1,500)
  • Physical liquidity: 5 BNB required upfront
  • Displayed market cap: $3,000
  • DexScreener rank: #500
  • High barrier to entry

Token B (Quik.Meme):

  • Creator pays: ~$0.50 (gas only)
  • Physical liquidity: 0 BNB from creator
  • Virtual liquidity: Auto-generated by platform
  • Displayed market cap: $3,000
  • DexScreener rank: #100
  • Anyone can afford to launch

Token B costs 3000x less to launch but appears identical on rankings!

Pricing Mechanism​

Automated Market Maker (AMM)​

Quik.Meme uses Uniswap V3 technology:

Constant Product Formula:

x * y = k

Where:

  • x = BNB in pool (physical)
  • y = Tokens in pool
  • k = Constant product

What this means:

  • When you buy tokens, x goes up, y goes down
  • Price increases as y/x ratio changes
  • Reverse for sells
  • No order books needed
  • Always liquid

Price Calculation​

Real trading price:

Price = (Physical BNB in pool) / (Tokens in pool)

Market cap display:

Market Cap = Price × (Virtual Multiplier)

Example:

  • Virtual liquidity: Auto-generated by platform
  • Token supply: 1,000,000,000 tokens
  • Virtual amount: Set by platform configuration
  • Displayed market cap: Boosted for better visibility
  • Creator cost: Only ~$0.50 gas fee

Fee Structure​

Uniswap V3 Pool Fee (1%)​

All Quik.Meme pools use 1% fee tier:

  • Not a transfer tax: Only charged when swapping through pool
  • Standard LP fee: Same as other Uniswap V3 pools
  • Goes to pool: Accumulates in LP position
  • Collected automatically: Factory gathers periodically

Fee Distribution (After Collection)​

When accumulated fees are collected:

25% to Creator:

  • Sent directly to deployer wallet
  • Automatic distribution
  • No claiming needed
  • Pure BNB payment

25% to Buyback:

  • BNB swapped for tokens
  • Bought tokens burned immediately
  • Reduces supply
  • Creates buy pressure

50% to Platform:

  • Platform treasury
  • Development funding
  • Infrastructure costs
  • Long-term sustainability

No Transfer Tax​

Important Distinction:

Transfer Tax Model (NOT used):

User sells 1000 tokens
→ 10% tax taken (100 tokens)
→ User receives 900 tokens worth of BNB

Quik.Meme Model (Pool Fee):

User swaps 1000 tokens for BNB
→ Uniswap pool charges 1% fee
→ Fee accumulates in LP position
→ Factory collects and distributes
→ No tax on the token transfer itself

Benefits:

  • Clean ERC-20 standard
  • Works with all DEXs and CEXs
  • No tax evasion loopholes
  • More professional
  • Better exchange listings

Market Cap Mechanics​

Displayed Market Cap​

What you see on DexScreener and platform:

Market Cap = Token Price × Virtual Liquidity Multiplier

Real vs Virtual​

Real Metrics:

  • Actual BNB in pool
  • Real trading depth
  • True liquidity

Virtual Metrics:

  • Calculated market cap
  • Display purposes
  • Ranking booster

Why It Works​

DexScreener and other aggregators:

  • Pull price from pool (real)
  • Calculate market cap (we influence this with virtual amount)
  • Display higher market cap
  • Better rankings
  • More visibility

Liquidity Configurations​

Multiple Config Options​

Platform offers different liquidity configurations:

Config Properties:

  • Initial BNB amount required
  • Virtual amount multiplier
  • Price range (tick bounds)
  • Starting price
  • Penalty multiplier for early buys

Choosing Configuration​

When creating token, you can select:

  • Low liquidity: Less BNB, higher virtual boost
  • Medium liquidity: Balanced approach
  • High liquidity: More stability, lower boost

Note: Specific configurations set by platform

Price Impact​

How Trades Affect Price​

Price impact depends on physical liquidity, not virtual:

Early Stage (Low Trading Volume):

  • Small trades may have noticeable impact
  • High volatility possible
  • Faster price movement
  • Higher risk/reward

Mature Token (High Trading Volume):

  • Larger trades with less impact
  • More stable prices
  • Smoother price movement
  • Lower volatility

Trading Considerations​

Virtual liquidity affects perception, not trading:

  • Market cap shows virtual amount
  • But trades execute against physical liquidity
  • Be aware of actual pool depth
  • Check price impact before large trades

Creator Fee Economics​

Lifetime Value​

As creator, your token generates passive income:

Formula:

Total Earnings = (Cumulative Volume × 1%) × 25%

10x Token Example:

  • Starting market cap: $10k
  • Peaks at: $100k (10x)
  • Total volume to reach 10x: ~$500k
  • Pool fees generated: $5k
  • Your earnings: $1,250
  • Plus you likely hold tokens worth more

100x Token Example:

  • Starting market cap: $10k
  • Peaks at: $1M (100x)
  • Total volume to reach 100x: ~$5M
  • Pool fees generated: $50k
  • Your earnings: $12,500
  • Plus massive gains on held tokens

The Multiplier Effect​

Higher volume = More fees:

  • Viral tokens generate huge volume
  • Volume far exceeds market cap
  • A $100k token might see $1M+ volume
  • That's $10k+ in pool fees
  • You get $2,500+ just from fees

Buyback & Burn Impact​

Deflationary Pressure​

25% of fees constantly buying and burning:

Effect Over Time:

  • Starting supply: 1,000,000,000
  • After $10k volume: ~99,999,900 (100 burned)
  • After $100k volume: ~99,999,000 (1,000 burned)
  • After $1M volume: ~99,990,000 (10,000 burned)

Price Impact:

  • Supply decreases
  • Same demand + less supply = higher price
  • Automatic value accrual
  • Benefits all holders

Math Behind Buyback​

If 1 BNB collected in fees:

  • Buyback gets: 0.25 BNB
  • Current price: 0.000001 BNB per token
  • Tokens bought: 250,000
  • 250,000 tokens burned
  • Supply reduced by 0.025%

Over many fee collections, this adds up significantly.

Token Lifecycle Economics​

Phase 1: Launch (First Hour)​

Characteristics:

  • High volatility
  • Rapid price discovery
  • Early buyer advantage
  • Maximum attention
  • Virtual liquidity attracting traders

Typical Pattern:

  • Initial pump (early buyers)
  • Possible correction
  • Stabilization
  • Real community emerges

Phase 2: Growth (First Week)​

If Successful:

  • Sustained buying interest
  • Fee collections starting
  • Buyback burns reducing supply
  • Creator earning passive income
  • Community solidifying

Fee Impact:

  • Small burns from buybacks
  • Creator sees first earnings
  • Proof of concept validated

Phase 3: Maturity (Month+)​

Established Tokens:

  • Stable price action
  • Regular fee distributions
  • Noticeable supply reduction
  • Loyal community
  • Sustainable economics

Economics:

  • Accumulated burns significant
  • Creator passive income steady
  • Virtual boost still working
  • Real utility developed

Comparing to Traditional Models​

vs High Tax Tokens​

Traditional Tax Token:

  • 10% buy tax, 10% sell tax
  • Tax goes to team wallet
  • Manual distribution
  • Often dumped by team
  • Manipulatable

Quik.Meme:

  • 1% pool fee (both buys/sells)
  • Automatic distribution
  • Transparent splitting
  • Can't be manipulated
  • Trustless

vs No Fee Tokens​

Zero Fee Token:

  • No earnings for creator
  • No buyback mechanism
  • Relies purely on hype
  • Unsustainable
  • Creator has no incentive

Quik.Meme:

  • Sustainable creator income
  • Built-in buyback
  • Aligned incentives
  • Long-term thinking
  • Creator benefits from growth

Advanced Economics​

Virtual Liquidity Deep Dive​

Configuration Example:

// Platform automatically generates virtual liquidity
virtualAmount: Set by platform config
// Creator pays: ZERO BNB (only gas)
// Result: Token has market cap and trading capability

Market Cap Calculation:

MC = Token Price × Total Supply × Virtual Multiplier

Effect:

  • Appears to have substantial market cap
  • Same trading functionality as high-liquidity tokens
  • Better rankings on aggregators
  • More appealing to traders
  • Creator paid nothing for liquidity

Fee Collection Optimization​

Threshold System:

  • Minimum threshold: 0.0000005 BNB
  • Prevents tiny collections
  • Saves gas
  • Optimizes distribution

Interval System:

  • Min 5 minutes between collections
  • Prevents spam
  • Gas efficient
  • Batches distributions

Supply Burn Math​

Total burns come from:

  1. Token fees from pool: Burned immediately
  2. Buyback tokens: 25% of BNB fees buy + burn

Combined Effect:

Burn Rate = (Volume × 1% pool fee in tokens) + (Volume × 1% × 25% buyback)

For 100 BNB volume:

  • Pool token fees: ~0.01% of supply
  • Buyback: ~0.0025% of supply
  • Total burned: ~0.0125% of supply

Over time, this compounds significantly.

Strategic Implications​

For Creators​

Optimize for Volume:

  • More volume = more fees
  • Build active community
  • Encourage trading
  • Create events/catalysts
  • Volume matters more than price

Hold Your Tokens:

  • Selling kills trust
  • Reduces volume
  • Hurts fee income
  • Think long-term
  • Fees > one-time sell

For Traders​

Understand the Model:

  • Early entry = lower cost
  • Volume creates deflation
  • Buybacks support price
  • Creator aligned with holders
  • Long-term > short-term

Trading Strategy:

  • Factor in 1% pool fee
  • Consider buyback effect
  • Watch volume trends
  • Monitor supply burns
  • Evaluate creator activity

Economic Sustainability​

Aligned Incentives​

Everyone benefits from volume:

  • Creators: Earn 25% of fees
  • Holders: Benefit from buybacks
  • Platform: Sustainable revenue
  • Traders: Liquid markets

Long-Term Viability​

Well-designed economics ensure:

  • Creator has ongoing income incentive
  • Holders benefit from deflation
  • Platform can maintain infrastructure
  • Traders get fair, efficient markets
  • Ecosystem thrives long-term

Summary​

  • Deploy Time: 5 seconds flat
  • Supply: Fixed 1 billion, decreasing via burns
  • Virtual Liquidity: Market cap boost via virtual BNB
  • Pool Fee: 1% on swaps (not transfer tax)
  • Fee Split: 25% creator, 25% buyback, 50% platform
  • Collection: Fully automatic, threshold-based
  • Buyback: Constant deflationary pressure
  • Model: Sustainable, trustless, transparent
