Frequently Asked Questions
What is token dilution?
Token dilution occurs when new tokens enter circulation, increasing supply and potentially reducing each token's value. It is measured as the percentage increase in circulating supply from new unlocks.
Do unlocks always cause price drops?
Not necessarily. Unlocks increase sell pressure, but if demand is strong, prices can still rise. Key factors include unlock size relative to market cap, holder selling intentions, and overall market conditions.
What is a vesting schedule?
A vesting schedule defines when locked tokens become available to holders. Common schedules include linear monthly unlocks, cliff vests (no unlock until a certain date), or hybrid approaches.
