I’ve been asked about this several times, so I’ll explain it here.
A bonding curve is a formula that sets prices based on how many tokens have been sold: the more that are bought, the higher the price goes.
Addresses that buy earlier get a lower cost basis, so bots often rush to buy in the first few seconds after launch, and later buyers usually pay more.
On Solana, new tokens bought and sold on one-click launch platforms are generally settled in $SOL . Current price: 82.93.
