Work it out on your own numbers
Put in an amount. See what it buys at that point of the curve, what comes back if you change your mind, and where the boundaries sit.
Nothing here is a forecast. The two boundaries are set by the contract: the cost of entry above, the backing per token below. Where the market price sits between them is the market’s business, and it can sit anywhere — including at the floor.
The figures below follow the Phase 1 curve from the white paper. Move the point along the curve to see how entry gets dearer as more tokens are issued.
Figures are computed in your browser from the curve in the white paper. Nothing is sent anywhere.
What you get
Keep it as a position
The deposit stays in the contract as an NFT that holds your own collateral. Redeem at face value at any time, in full, with no fee. The cost is the use of the capital while it sits — nothing else.
Close it into tokens
The position closes into transferable ASTRX backed by a share of the shared pool. From that moment the tokens carry market risk: their price sits between the backing below and the cost of entry above, and it can fall to the floor.
Where the corridor sits
The upper boundary is the figure above: nobody has a reason to pay much more on the market than minting costs. The lower boundary is the backing per token — the share of the reserve behind each token, which redemption keeps available at all times. The distance between them is the room the market has to move.
This is arithmetic on the published curve, not a projection of what anything will be worth. The protocol pays no yield and promises nothing about the market price.
