How MoonMath calculates whale dump
Whale Dump Impact Calculator — What happens if a top holder sells?
The formula
The tokens sold are the holding times the share dumped; that amount is executed as a single constant-product sale against one validated pool. Execution loss is the shortfall of the proceeds against the same tokens marked at the pre-trade price.
What it reads
- The holder's balance and the share of it assumed sold
- The current token price, for marking the position
- One observed pool with executable reserves
- The pool fee, and daily volume for the comparison
What it assumes
- The whole amount executes as one instantaneous sale into one selected pool
- The pool must pass the constant-product guard: concentrated-liquidity and reserve-less pools are refused rather than approximated
- No other trade happens during the sale, and no routing across the token's other venues is attempted
- The share sold is a scenario the reader supplies, not an observation of the holder's intent
What this does not establish
- It does not establish that the holder will sell, or when — the share is an assumption
- The volume comparison is a comparison, not a recovery forecast
- It does not model other sellers reacting, or the order in which trades land
- The price after is the selected pool's spot price, not a market-wide price
Run it
Estimate what a large holder sale could execute for against an observed constant-product AMM pool. The calculator separates a wallet's marked value from the proceeds the pool could actually return.
