Calculations

The Lazarus Bonding Curve Formula

To incentivize early adopters who risk their capital to revive a dead project, we use a quadratic bonding curve. This rewards users who wrap and buy early with a lower price entry.

Why Quadratic?

A linear curve ($n=1$) offers steady growth. A quadratic curve ($n=2$) starts very cheap but accelerates rapidly. This creates a powerful "FOMO" (Fear Of Missing Out) effect required to jolt a dead community back to life.

Shell Value Valuation Metrics

How do we value a dead token? We use the Shell Value metric. A dead token is essentially a "shell company" with a list of shareholders.

If the current market cap of the dead token is $5,000, the Lazarus Protocol identifies this as an undervalued asset with a potential 5x upside simply by reactivating the community. This calculation is what drives the AI Agent's decision to target a specific token.
