Function: priceTickDecimals()

priceTickDecimals(price, precision): number

Number of decimal places that are meaningful for a price at a given precision.

The Biatec CLAMM uses a logarithmic tick system: a tick is a fixed fraction of the price, so the number of decimals needed grows as the price shrinks. This helper returns how many decimals should be shown/kept for price at the requested precision (higher precision → finer ticks → more decimals).

Parameters​

price​

The price (asset A denominated in asset B). 0 returns 3.
