| Price Calculation | Complex | Simple (dollar-denominated) |
Winner: CREATOR/USDC - Lower IL risk + easier for users! 🏆
📊 How It Works - 99% CREATOR / 1% USDC
Initial Deposit (Empty Charm Vault):
User deposits: 1,000,000 CREATOR
Strategy automatically:
1. Keeps 990,000 CREATOR (99%)
2. Swaps 10,000 CREATOR → ~$100 USDC (1%)
3. Deposits both to Charm vault
4. Returns unused tokens to vault
Result: 99/1 ratio established
Price: ~$0.0001 per CREATOR (if 10k CREATOR = $1 USDC)
Subsequent Deposits (Vault has liquidity):
Charm has: 9.9M CREATOR + $1,000 USDC (ratio 99:1)
User deposits: 500,000 CREATOR
Strategy calculates:
1. For 500,000 CREATOR, need ~$50 USDC
2. Don't have USDC → swap 5,000 CREATOR → $50 USDC
3. Deposit 495,000 CREATOR + $50 USDC
4. Maintains 99/1 ratio
Result: Proportional deposit, ratio maintained
Withdrawal (Auto-convert to CREATOR):
User withdraws: 10% of position
Strategy executes:
1. Withdraw 10% shares from Charm
2. Receive ~99,000 CREATOR + $100 USDC
3. Swap $100 USDC → ~10,000 CREATOR
4. Return ~109,000 CREATOR to user
Result: User receives only CREATOR (as expected by IStrategy)

Constructor Parameters:

_usdc: 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 // Base USDC

💡 Strategy Configuration
Default Settings (Safe for Launch):
maxSwapPercent = 5 // Max 5% CREATOR → USDC per tx
swapSlippageBps = 300 // 3% max swap slippage
depositSlippageBps = 500 // 5% deposit slippage tolerance
swapPoolFee = 3000 // 0.3% fee tier (standard)
Why these settings?
- 5% max swap: For 99/1 ratio, you rarely need more than 1% swap
- 3% slippage: Protects against sandwich attacks
- 5% deposit slippage: Gives Charm flexibility to rebalance
- 0.3% fee: Standard for most pairs on Uniswap V3
After Launch Adjustments:
// If CREATOR/USDC has high volume:
strategy.setParameters(
5, // Keep 5% max swap
200, // Lower slippage to 2%
300, // Lower deposit slippage to 3%
3000 // Keep 0.3%
);
// If CREATOR/USDC has low liquidity:
strategy.setParameters(
10, // Increase to 10% max swap
500, // Increase slippage to 5%
1000, // Increase deposit slippage to 10%
10000 // Try 1% fee tier
);
🔧 Integration with StrategyDeploymentBatcher
Update Batcher Constructor:
function batchDeployStrategies(
address underlyingToken, // CREATOR
address quoteToken, // 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 (USDC)
address creatorVault,
address ajnaPool,
uint24 v3FeeTier, // 3000 (0.3%)
uint160 initialSqrtPriceX96 // ~100 CREATOR per USDC
) external nonReentrant returns (DeploymentResult memory result)
Deploy CreatorCharmStrategyV2:
// In StrategyDeploymentBatcher
result.creatorCharmStrategy = address(new CreatorCharmStrategyV2(
creatorVault,
underlyingToken, // CREATOR
quoteToken, // USDC (0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913)
UNISWAP_ROUTER, // Base Router
result.charmVault, // Just deployed Charm vault
result.v3Pool, // Just created V3 pool
msg.sender // Owner
));
// Initialize approvals
CreatorCharmStrategyV2(result.creatorCharmStrategy).initializeApprovals();
📈 Expected Pricing
Initial Price Calculation:
If deploying with 1M CREATOR:
- 99% = 990,000 CREATOR
- 1% = 10,000 CREATOR → swap to USDC
If swap yields $100 USDC:
Price per CREATOR = $100 / 1,000,000 = $0.0001
Or: 10,000 CREATOR per $1 USDC
Price Formula:
// CREATOR per USDC
creatorPerUsdc = (charmCreator * 1e6) / charmUsdc
// Example:
// Charm has: 990,000 CREATOR + $100 USDC
// creatorPerUsdc = (990,000 * 1e6) / 100 = 9,900,000 (9.9M CREATOR per USDC)
// Or: ~$0.0001 per CREATOR

🎯 Testing Strategy
Test 1: Initial Deposit (99/1 Ratio)
// Deposit 1M CREATOR when Charm is empty
vault.deposit(1_000_000e18, creator);
Expected result:
- 990,000 CREATOR in Charm
- ~$100 USDC in Charm (from 10k CREATOR swap)
- Ratio: 99/1 ✅
Test 2: Subsequent Deposit (Maintain Ratio)
// Deposit 500k CREATOR when Charm has liquidity
vault.deposit(500_000e18, creator);
Expected result:
- 495,000 CREATOR added (after 1% swap)
- ~$50 USDC added
- Ratio: Still 99/1 ✅
Test 3: Withdrawal (Return Only CREATOR)
// Withdraw 10% of position
vault.withdraw(10% of shares);
Expected result:
- Receive 99,000 CREATOR + $10 USDC
- Swap $10 USDC → 1,000 CREATOR
- User gets 100,000 CREATOR total ✅
Test 4: Price Slippage Protection
// Try to deposit when price moves 5%
vault.deposit(100_000e18, creator);
Expected result:
- If slippage > 3%, swap reverts
- Deposit to Charm skipped
- Tokens returned to vault ✅
