Simulate a $10K Ethereum Token Launch with a 90/10 Split
A 90/10 split on a $10K Ethereum budget is a defensive configuration: $9,000 goes to pool liquidity and just $1,000 to token acquisition. The anti-sniper logic is clear on Ethereum mainnet, where MEV bots monitor the mempool constantly — a deeper pool means sniper sells produce more price impact on the way out, compressing bot profitability. The tradeoff is a near-zero founder position: only what $1,000 can purchase from a $9,000 pool. The simulator shows the exact supply ownership that results and whether the liquidity improvement over 80/20 justifies the ownership sacrifice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would a founder use 90/10 at $10K on Ethereum?
The main reason is anti-sniper defence. On Ethereum mainnet, MEV bots watch the mempool for new pool creation and immediately buy at the initial price. A 90/10 split sends $9,000 to the pool instead of $7,000 or $8,000, making sniper exits more costly due to higher price impact on their sells. The tradeoff is almost no founder ownership. It is a pool-depth signal, not an accumulation strategy.
With just $1,000 for acquisition on Ethereum at 90/10, is the founder position meaningful?
It is minimal. A $1,000 buy against a $9,000 pool is roughly 11% of liquidity, resulting in a small absolute token count. The simulator calculates the exact number of tokens $1,000 purchases and the resulting supply ownership percentage. Teams using 90/10 typically do not rely on this initial position and plan to acquire more from the open market over time.
How does a $9,000 Ethereum pool at 90/10 handle sniper sell pressure compared to 80/20?
Deeper pools absorb sells with less price impact per dollar sold. In a $9,000 pool (90/10), a sniper sell of 10% of liquidity causes roughly 10% price decline. In the $8,000 pool (80/20), the same proportional sell causes slightly more impact because the pool is shallower in absolute terms. The simulator lets you run both and compare sell sequence outcomes side by side.
