Simulate a $10K Base Token Launch with a 90/10 Split
At $10K on Base with a 90/10 split, $9,000 seeds the pool and $1,000 funds acquisition — the deepest pool configuration at this budget tier on Base. The Coinbase retail audience benefits from low-slippage swaps at this depth, and the near-zero gas costs mean even small participants can trade frequently without friction. The founder's $1,000 acquisition from a $9,000 pool carries roughly 11% trade-to-pool ratio, resulting in a modest supply ownership position purchased at moderate price impact. The simulator shows how this compares to the 80/20 and 70/30 splits in both liquidity and ownership terms.

Frequently Asked Questions
At $10K and 90/10 on Base, how does the $9,000 pool improve over the $8,000 pool at 80/20?
The $9,000 pool (90/10) is 12.5% deeper than the $8,000 pool (80/20). For a $450 trade (5% of $9K), price impact is roughly 5%. The same trade against $8,000 is 5.6% of depth, producing slightly more impact. The gain in depth is modest. The more significant difference is that the acquisition budget drops from $2,000 to $1,000 — the founder position is halved. The simulator quantifies whether the extra $1,000 of liquidity is worth that tradeoff at this budget.
What is the effective token count for a $1,000 acquisition from a $9,000 Base pool?
The exact token count depends on the pool ratio set at launch. With 1B total supply and $9,000 on the USD side, the simulator calculates the initial spot price and applies the constant product formula to the $1,000 buy. The result shows the actual tokens received, the effective average price paid, and the resulting supply ownership percentage — all displayed in the results panel.
Is 90/10 on Base suitable for a token launched through Coinbase Wallet distribution?
For tokens aimed at Coinbase retail users, deep liquidity is a feature: retail participants expect reasonable prices when they buy through Coinbase Wallet. A $9,000 pool handles trades under $450 with under 5% slippage, which is appropriate for retail-sized orders. The 90/10 split also signals community orientation, which resonates with retail audiences. The tradeoff is near-zero founder ownership — factor that into your long-term supply strategy.
