The average price shows how much, on average, you paid for each unit of an asset in your Picnic portfolio. It automatically changes whenever there is a purchase.

How It's Calculated

The system adds up all the invested value (including contributions and deposits) and divides it by the total number of units you own of the asset.

Average price=Total invested/Number of units

With each new transaction, the system recalculates the average price based on the total invested value and the total quantity in relation to each transaction.​

Quick Example

  • You bought 10 ETH at $200 each → total $2,000

  • Then, you bought 5 ETH at $250 each → total accumulated $3,250 / 15 = $216.67 per ETH

Where to See on Picnic

On the Investments screen, you can track:

  • Your average price

  • Contributions

  • The Total Return

Important

BRL is not a base currency in the decentralized ecosystem. Therefore, the calculation should be done using USDC or similar.
