Large Unreleased Supply
Only a small fraction of the total supply is circulating, so large future unlocks will continuously dilute existing holders.
How it works
Supply that is not yet circulating is typically released over time to teams, investors, treasuries and reward programmes. If demand does not grow with it, existing holders are diluted. This describes the supply schedule, not anyone’s intentions.
Red flags to look for
- ⚠Less than 20% of total supply is currently circulating
- ⚠No public vesting schedule or cliff period disclosed
- ⚠Staking yields that seem impossibly high (>1,000% APY)
- ⚠Emission rates that outpace any realistic demand growth
- ⚠Price steadily declining despite claimed utility or growth
