Simulate a $5K Solana Token Launch with a 90/10 Split
A 90/10 split at $5K on Solana puts $4,500 into the pool and just $500 toward token acquisition. Solana's leader-based block production makes MEV sniping structurally harder than on Ethereum, so the extreme pool-depth logic of 90/10 offers different value here: it is less about sniper defence and more about launching with the deepest possible pool at a micro-budget. The near-zero gas costs mean the full $500 acquisition converts to tokens efficiently. The simulator shows exactly what $500 buys from a $4,500 Solana pool and how thin the founder position becomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does 90/10 make sense on Solana where MEV is structurally lower than Ethereum?
On Solana, the main argument for 90/10 shifts from anti-sniper defence to liquidity and community signaling. Solana still has bots targeting new pools, but the leader-based block model limits classic front-running. The 90/10 split creates the deepest pool available at $5K, which reduces slippage for all early participants. Whether that depth benefit is worth near-zero founder ownership is what the simulator helps you evaluate.
With only $500 for acquisition on Solana at 90/10, what does the founder actually own?
A $500 buy against a $4,500 pool is roughly 11% of liquidity, producing moderate price impact. The simulator calculates the exact token count and supply ownership percentage. On a 1B supply token, this will be a very small fraction. Teams running 90/10 at this budget on Solana are typically testing a token concept rather than building a large founder position.
How does a $4,500 Solana pool at 90/10 compare to a $4,000 pool at 80/20 in slippage terms?
The $4,500 pool (90/10) is 12.5% deeper than the $4,000 pool (80/20). For a $225 trade (5% of $4,500), the 90/10 pool produces roughly 5% price impact. The same $225 trade against $4,000 is 5.6% of depth, producing slightly more impact. The difference is modest at this budget level. The bigger difference is the acquisition: $500 versus $1,000. Run both scenarios to see if the extra depth justifies the halved acquisition budget.
