    Data & Accuracy

    There are often discrepancies between market cap data from different sources. Here's why:

    • GeckoTerminal uses pool liquidity data, which may differ from CoinGecko/CoinMarketCap
    • DexScreener calculates market cap differently for low-liquidity tokens
    • Circulating Supply is often estimated, not exact
    • DEX vs CEX pricing can vary significantly

    💡 Solution: Use the "Adjust Market Cap" button to manually set the correct value and MoonMath will recalculate everything based on your input.

    This is a common issue! Example:

    Initial Supply: 10,000,000 tokens
    Burned: 2,300,000 tokens (23%)
    Actual Circulating Supply: 7,700,000 tokens

    The Problem:

    • DexScreener returns Total Supply (10M), not Circulating Supply (7.7M)
    • Both "Market Cap" and "FDV" are identical, even though tokens were burned
    • This makes the market cap appear 23% higher than it actually is
    • Burned tokens are often not tracked by DEX APIs

    ⚠️ Always verify circulating supply on CoinGecko/CoinMarketCap and use Manual Market Cap Adjustment!

    This is why the ⚙️ icon exists on the Market Cap card - to fix exactly this problem.

    Features

    If you see a ⚠️ icon next to the Market Cap card, or if the displayed market cap seems wrong:

    1. Click the small settings icon on the Market Cap card
    2. Enter the correct market cap value (get it from CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, or GeckoTerminal)
    3. Click "Adjust"
    4. MoonMath will recalculate circulating supply and all simulations based on your value

    Note: Your adjustment is only stored locally in your browser.

    Yes! MoonMath is a Progressive Web App (PWA), which means you can install it just like a native app on any device:

    📱 On Mobile (iOS/Android):

    3. The app will open in its own window without browser tabs

    ✨ Benefits:

    • Instant access from your home screen
    • Works offline (cached data)
    • Native app-like experience
    • No app store download required

    The horizontal scrolling ticker shows the last 10 token searches globally across all users:

    • Updates every 60 seconds
    • Shows: Token symbol, current price, 24h change
    • Click any token to instantly load its data
    • Hover to pause scrolling
    • Privacy: Your portfolio balance is never shared - only token addresses

    Data is stored in Vercel KV (Redis) and automatically synced across all users.

    You can screenshot any metric or the entire simulation table:

    • Desktop: Click the "Screenshot" button (camera icon) on cards or tables
    • Mobile/Tablet: Click the small camera icon in the top-right corner of each card
    • Screenshots are high-resolution (2x scale) with watermark
    • Borders and outlines are automatically removed
    • Downloads as PNG file

    Great for sharing your moonshot potential on Twitter/Discord! 🚀

    Simulation

    MoonMath uses real AMM (Automated Market Maker) mathematics - the same formulas used by Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and Raydium:

    k = x * y (constant product formula)
    • x = Token reserve in pool
    • y = Pair token (USDC/SOL/ETH) reserve in pool
    • To reach a target price, we calculate how much pair token must flow into the pool
    • Includes trading fees (0.25-0.30% typical)
    • Accounts for price impact and slippage

    This is NOT simple "market cap * multiplier" - it's actual DeFi math!

    MoonMath uses smart target generation based on current market cap:

    • Micro-cap (<$1M): Targets are $1M, $5M, $10M, $25M, $50M, $100M
    • Small-cap ($1M-$100M): Targets are $10M, $25M, $50M, $100M, $250M, $500M
    • Mid-cap ($100M-$1B): Targets are $250M, $500M, $1B, $5B, $10B
    • Large-cap (>$1B): Targets are $5B, $10B, $25B, $50B, $100B

    You can also customize targets using the "Customize Targets" button below the simulation table.
