The Bonding Curve is a powerful mathematical concept that has gained popularity in the world of decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain-based networks. The Liquidity-driven Curation Mechanism offers a secure, transparent, and traceable guarantee by tokenizing untradable and intangible virtual assets such as data, IPs, AI Agents, influence, and MEMEs.
Let R be the current reserve of the parent currency(say, $BOOM); Let P be the price of BLP Tokens(the share token of Bonding Pool) ; Let S be the current circulating supply of BLP Tokens. So we have the reserve ratio K:
When a user buys an infinitesimal amount of BLP tokens dS (selling simply means dS < 0), we have:
After performing the integral, we have(C is arbitrary constant for a given K):
If the total supply of BLP token increases from S_0 to S, then the price increases from P_0 to P. The relationship between the two can be expressed as:
If a user buys a total of N BLP tokens, bringing the total supply from S_0 to S_0+N , the total paid amount of parent currency A is:
then, we have:
Let's simplify the bonding curve function mentioned in the previous section. Let
Thus, we have:
