PROBLEM: price is in USD, not ETH. Need to obtain the price of ETH and do some math.

Pricing tiers

Once we establish the baseline, we can establish pricing tiers.

The initial proposal contained seemingly random increments.

I suggest the main chunk to contain 50m at the baseline price.

Then ten 10m PNK tiers, with the last one being 1.618 (golden ratio) more expensive than the baseline, in equal increments.

There is also a promo tier - thank you to existing holders those who were super fast.

Tier Price Amount Φ
promo 0.0000432 10m -0.0618
main 0.0000460 50m baseline
1 0.0000488 10m 0.0618
2 0.0000517 10m 0.1236
3 0.0000545 10m 0.1854
4 0.0000574 10m 0.2472
5 0.0000602 10m 0.3090
6 0.0000631 10m 0.3708
7 0.0000659 10m 0.4326
8 0.0000687 10m 0.4944
9 0.0000716 10m 0.5562
10 0.0000744 10m 0.6180

(check the Google Sheet for calculations)

Variations

If the community decides “no promo tier” then expand the baseline to contain 60m PNK and keep 10 golden ratio increments.

If the community decides that 61.8% increase above the baseline is too steep, then pick half of it 30.9% - the increment is required to put some pressure and incentivize prompt decision making. On the other hand - there is whole entire month to plan - you either do or do not, there it no try!
