Calculated Output Metrics

Monthly Supply Inflation Rate +12.5% / month
Monthly New Dilution Inflow ($) $28,125,000 / mo
Annualized Supply Dilution 150.0% / year
Circulating Mcap / FDV Ratio 18.0% (Low Float / High FDV)

Analytical Proof & Invariants

Machine Precision
Governing Mathematical Formula:
Monthly Unlock = Total Allocation × (1 - TGE Unlock %) / Vesting Linear Months

Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation

1
Monthly Supply Inflation Rate

Inflation = Monthly Unlock / Current Circulating = 22,500,000 / 180,000,000 = 12.5% per month.

2
Dollar Sell Pressure Magnitude

New Monthly Sell Pressure = 22,500,000 tokens × $1.25 = $28,125,000 per month entering the market.

3
FDV Overhang Ratio

Current Mcap = 180M × $1.25 = $225M. Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) = 1B × $1.25 = $1.25B. Mcap/FDV = 18.0%.

4
Price Depreciation Equilibrium

To keep the token price flat at $1.25, the project must attract $28.1M in fresh net buyer liquidity every single month just to absorb investor sell-offs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'Low Float / High FDV' in crypto? +
Low float tokens launch with only 5% to 15% of supply circulating, creating an artificially high price and massive Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV). As team and VC unlocks dump over years, supply inflation relentlessly crushes the token price.
How can investors track major token unlock events? +
Use on-chain vesting dashboards (TokenUnlocks, DefiLlama) to monitor cliff dates where massive blocks of venture capital tokens unlock simultaneously.
