***Formula Used***

**currrentSupply = current supply of the token, amount = no of tokens to buy \_priceFactor = price factor to control the price hike when supply is high**

**s1 = currrentSupply == 0 && amount == 1 ? 0 : ((currrentSupply + amount - 1) \* (currrentSupply + amount) \* (2 \* (currrentSupply + amount - 1) + 1)) / 6;**

**s2 = currrentSupply == 0 ? 0 : ((currrentSupply - 1) \* currrentSupply \* (2 \* (currrentSupply - 1) + 1)) / 6;**

**summationDiff = s1 - s2; price = (summationDiff \* 1 ether) / 16000; FinalPrice = (price \* \_priceFactor) / 1 ether;**

***Ethereum is roughly 20 times the price of solana, so we have equated similarly.***

**Solana Price = $100 , Ethereum Price = $2000**

**In Ethereum, Alpha = 1 means 100 share costs 0.625 which is apporx $1200**

**In Solana, Alpha = 1 means 100 share costs approx $1200 ( 12 Solana )**
