Post-Launch Cohort Average Cost

Overview

Post-Launch Cohort Average Cost calculates the weighted average acquisition price for addresses that first interacted with a token any time after its initial day of trading. This metric provides insights into post-launch adopter behavior and tracks the cost basis of the broader community that joined after the earliest participants.

Definition

This indicator is calculated by: 1. Identifying all addresses that conducted their first token transaction after the token's first day of trading 2. Determining the weighted average acquisition price of tokens currently held by these addresses 3. Weighting based on the token quantity held by each qualifying address
