1/x What is TokenUnlocks 🔎 ?
TokenUnlocks are fundamental aspects of tokenomics. 📊
Token unlocks are like releasing locked shares in the crypto market over a set period of time to align incentives for all stakeholders 🤝
The key elements related to token unlocks include ⬇️
2/x 2022 Lookback 🌄
The year 2022 was marked by a decline in the overall crypto market capitalization, major events such as the collapse of the Terra, and a fraud case at a major crypto exchange. Token unlocks also played a role in introducing newly liquid tokens to the market.
3/x How do projects vest their tokens? 🔐
There are various ways to implement token vesting methods. We analyzed 31 protocols and found that 2 projects use only EOA or wallets, 20 use only smart contracts, and 9 use both wallets and smart contracts.
4/x The Distribution 🔀
- Token distributions can be classified into 4 types:
- The Core/Team distribution rewards the developers.
- Treasury is for project expenses.
- Investor for funding, Public/Community for support. Ensure a fair token allocation for a sustainable project
5/x Token Allocation Analysis 📜
Results show that projects with more tokens allocated to Core/Team and Investors tend to have higher market capitalization. Increases liquidity & attracts more investors
