13.3 Appendix: Technical Details & Formulas

1. Index Calculation Methodology for MemeIndex 500

To maintain transparency and consistency in the MemeIndex 500, we apply a weighted formula inspired by traditional financial indices:

Market Cap Weighted Formula:

Where:

  • MI500MI_{500}MI500​: MemeIndex 500 value

  • MCiMC_iMCi​: Market capitalization of meme coin iii

  • WiW_iWi​: Weight assigned to meme coin iii based on its proportion to the total market cap

Weight Calculation Formula:

Weights are updated regularly to reflect market dynamics.


2. Rebalancing Algorithm

The index is rebalanced quarterly to maintain alignment with market conditions. The process involves:

  • Removing tokens that no longer meet liquidity, trading volume, or market cap criteria.

  • Adding new tokens based on defined inclusion metrics.

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Minimum 30-day average trading volume of [X Tokens].

  2. Market capitalization ranking within the top 500.

  3. Verified on-chain contract security audit.

  4. Active community engagement metrics.


3. Staking and Reward Formula

MemeIndex DAO offers staking rewards based on participant contributions to liquidity pools.

Staking Reward Formula:

Where:

  • RiR_iRi​: Reward for participant iii

  • SiS_iSi​: Amount staked by participant iii

  • NNN: Total number of stakers

  • RTotalR_{Total}RTotal​: Total reward pool for the staking period


4. Voting Mechanism for DAO Governance

Governance within MemeIndex DAO follows a token-weighted quadratic voting system to encourage more inclusive decision-making:

Voting Weight Formula:

Where:

  • ViV_{i}Vi​: Voting power of participant iii

  • TiT_iTi​: Number of $MIDAO tokens held by participant iii

Participants must lock their tokens for a defined governance period to cast votes.


5. Risk Analysis and Scam Detection Metrics

To assess the risk profile of meme coins, MemeIndex applies a scoring algorithm based on multiple parameters:

Risk Score Formula:

Where:

  • LLL: Liquidity ratio

  • CCC: Community engagement score

  • VVV: Price volatility index

  • SSS: Smart contract audit score

  • W1,W2,W3,W4W_1, W_2, W_3, W_4W1​,W2​,W3​,W4​: Weight factors calibrated through machine learning models


MemeIndex utilizes AI-driven regression models for trend prediction:

Regression Model:

Where:

  • YtY_tYt​: Predicted price trend of meme coin at time ttt

  • X1tX_{1t}X1t​: Social sentiment data at time ttt

  • X2tX_{2t}X2t​: Trading volume at time ttt

  • β0,β1,β2\beta_0, \beta_1, \beta_2β0​,β1​,β2​: Model coefficients

  • ϵt\epsilon_tϵt​: Error term


7. Smart Contract Structure and Security Audits

Key Components:

  • Governance Contracts: Handle voting, proposal submissions, and treasury allocation.

  • Staking Contracts: Manage user deposits, reward distribution, and staking lock periods.

  • Liquidity Pool Contracts: Provide automated market-making functionalities.

Security Best Practices:

  • Regular audits by external security firms

  • Automated testing for smart contract vulnerabilities

  • Bug bounty programs to incentivize community-based security reviews


8. Formula for MemeIndex 500 Token Value

The MemeIndex 500 Token ($MI500) reflects the value of the top 500 meme coins:

Token Value Formula:

Where:

  • Pi​: Price of meme coin i

  • QiQ_iQi​: Quantity held in the index
