Fully diluted market cap (FDMC) is the maximum supply of tokens multiplied by the token price.

It asks the question: What if all tokens were in circulation? Image
If a #fullydilutedmarketcap is much higher than the market cap, it means there are a lot of tokens locked up waiting to come on the market. Image
Example:
If the market cap is only 10% of the FDMC and assuming the tokens are all released in the next year, the project has to demonstrate 10x growth (1000% !) in a year just to MAINTAIN its current price. Image
This is an extreme case. Usually, 90% of the supply is not released that quickly. But you can use the comparison of FDMC and MC to guide you toward asking the pertinent next questions in your research.
Look at @0xPolygon and its $MATIC token.

Circulating supply = 8.7B tokens
MC = $8.3B

Total supply = 10B tokens
FDMC = $9.4B

The remaining 1.3B tokens will be vested over 3 years

This leads to ~5% yearly inflation rate.

5% YoY growth should be doable for Polygon = bullish! ImageImage

Total Market Capitalization (or market cap) is an easy way to determine the overall value of a crypto-economy or DAO. Image
Market cap is a concept borrowed from TradFi. It refers to how much a company is worth as determined by the stock market.

It is defined as the total market value of all outstanding shares.
To calculate market cap you multiply the number of outstanding shares by the current share price.

ie. 1M shares x $100 per share = $100M market cap

People get this one wrong a lot because it is confusing as hell.

Does a token burn affect circulating supply or not?

What is circulating supply vs. total supply?

And what are the most common uses when evaluating tokenomics?

(This is post 3 in our BIM series)
#Circulatingsupply measures the quantity of a token ALREADY in circulation, meaning tokens available in the open market.

These tokens are in wallets where they can be sold instantly without or only very short lockups.
A token burn is never done from these wallets (have you ever sent tokens to a 0-wallet on purpose?).

Note: Treasury tokens are NOT part of circulating supply!

Why? Because a treasury is governed and cannot dump on the market (unless it's a straight-up scam project).

Here is a basic but effective #tokenomics concept you can use to spot scammers:

--> Supply and vesting schedule
(Token distribution, Supply distribution, Token allocation - all mean the same thing)

This is post 2 of our #basicinvestormetrics (BIM) series. Image
These are the concepts you need to know:

- Supply distribution
- Vesting schedule
- Token emission schedule
Supply distribution:

Who received how many tokens when the project launched?
What are the tokens intended uses per category?

This usually looks like a pie chart. From there you can dive into the purpose of each category. Image

Tokenomics 101 Sandbox
@TheSandboxGame

The Sandbox is a community driven game that lets users own and monetize assets, games and land.

$SAND is used as medium of exchange.

Here is how it works 🧵
It looks like Minecraft but adds ownership.

- You can design games, characters, NPCs and sell them.

- You can own the piece of Land the game is deployed on.

- You can equip you character and play one of many games.

Everything can be owned and is represented by tokens.
Land is an NFT of which only 166,464 exist.

Catalysts and Gems regulate scarcity of Assets.

Assets are equipment or stuff like Legendary Timerhide Dragons.

All of these can be traded on the Sandbox Market using SAND (or on Opensea using ETH).

Do you believe there are significant differences between #Economics and #Tokenomics of #web3?

Can we simply apply what we know from #Econ101 to tokens and become successful investors and buidlers?

We asked a Tokenomist to find out! 🧵 👇 Image
#Economics is a social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services that focuses on the behavior and interactions of economic actors and how economies work. Economics is PREDICTIVE: Given rules, what outcome can one expect? Image
#Tokenomics is the study of token supply & demand dynamics, behavioral mechanisms, and incentive design. All characteristics are programmed and the outcomes can be observed transparently on-chain.

Tokenomics is DESIGN oriented: Given desired outcomes, what rules does one create? Image

How do traditional and crypto businesses compare and what impact does this have on tokens?

Let's look at:
--> Supply
--> Utility
--> Fundamentals
--> Evaluating Stocks
--> Evaluating Tokens
--> Governance

🧵👇
Supply:
AMZN shares are inflationary, but investors won't be too concerned - there are no Olympus DAO-like hyperinflationary shares.

In crypto, we like to experiment, so pay extra attention. Inflation doesn't need to be bad, if the business grows with it.
Utility:
This is where tokens are a lot more complex to evaluate.

Nobody just evaluates shares without the business.

You shouldn't do this in crypto either, but paying attention to utility and mechanisms is a lot more important.

You know this. Let's look at the business side:
