What is a charter actually worth?

Moon Math
By @zerokn0wledge_
Read this first. Standard's v0.1 whitepaper leaves every launch parameter blank. The only hard math here is the launch pricing identity; everything else is driven by the assumption sliders and tagged. Fact = whitepaper mechanics. Assumption = yours to disagree with. Not affiliated, not financial advice.
Scenarios
Day one
ETH seed in genesis LPAsm
100M $STANDARD plus this much ETH, full range. Amount not disclosed.
ETH price, USD
Growth, over the horizon
HorizonAsm
Base issuance runwayAsm
Years the 900M budget lasts at base rate. Base rate is TBA.
Avg policy multiplierAuto
Derived from your time in contraction below: expansion epochs raise the rate stepwise, contraction cuts it at once. Assumes a 0.5x to 2x range (actual range TBA), linear in expansion share.
Branches at horizonAsm
Starts at 1,000. Every added branch is one license, paid in $STANDARD, burned.
Price multiple vs launchAsm
The one pure market call in the model: where $STANDARD trades vs its seeded launch price at the horizon.
Flows and burns
Issuance withdrawnAsm
Share of earned issuance bankers cash out over the horizon. The rest compounds into licenses or sits at the bank.
Avg resolution feeAsm
Quadratic in 7-day exit pressure; floor and ceiling TBA. Half burns, half pays stayers.
Daily volume, % of FDVAsm
How much the pool trades per day, as a share of projected FDV.
Trading feeAsm
Rate TBA. ETH side feeds the engine; $STANDARD side is always burned.
Time in contractionAsm
Share of epochs with net outflow. Routes 70% of engine ETH to buyback and burn.
Seat pricing
License clearing priceAsm
Days of one branch's yield per license. Whitepaper floor is about 2, so anything above that is market demand.
Seat premiumAsm
Extra value of the charter itself (license access, exit fee share), in branch equivalents.
