Yes, “Token Unlock Monitoring” by Forgd allows you to seamlessly track token unlocks, cliffs, and vesting as tokens enter the circulating supply. You can use Forgd to gather insights on both the quantity and US Dollar value of tokens that are scheduled to be released so you can plan for the potential impact. Furthermore, Forgd provides data on how historical token unlocks may have influenced your token price. Monitor the correlation between different types of unlocks such as airdrops and investor vesting and price performance to optimize your post-TGE strategy.
A token’s Emissions Schedule determines the manner and rate at which tokens enter circulation. As tokens enter circulation, the supply of tokens available to the public increases; more available tokens mean more buyers are required to keep the price at a stable level.
Most will be familiar with the stacked area time series chart used to visualize tokens “unlocking” or “vesting” over time. This is the most common representation of a Token Emissions Schedule, sometimes referred to as an "Emissions Curve."
Generally, there are two ways to time a distribution, each with its own set of parameters:
Logarithmic (i.e., “epoch based”): Log based emissions schedules release tokens at some predetermined milestone over a set amount of milestones. These milestones are referred to as "epochs'' and generally represent some type of on-chain activity. The amount of tokens unlocked or "vested" at each epoch varies based on the methodology used by a project but will generally decrease over time. For example, Bitcoin's block rewards follow a log based emissions schedule with the quantity of BTC distributed to miners halving every 4 years. This log based emissions schedule will continue until the year 2140 when all 21,000,000 BTC are mined.
No, token unlocks do not always result in price depreciation; however, it is important to note that token price is a function of supply & demand. Token unlocks represent a form of inflation, which can be thought of as an outward shift in your token’s supply curve. If your token’s demand curve does not shift at the same or greater rate, this will theoretically result in price depreciation.
“Token Designer” by Forgd enables projects to create, test, and refine their token economics (“Tokenomics”) via a free-to-use application. We provide templates, post-TGE performance simulations, and comparative analytics that help you understand potential impacts of different token models. This tool helps you visualize how changes in parameters can affect the token's utility and market dynamics, aiding in crafting a balanced and effective token strategy.
“Token Designer” by Forgd is FREE to use for all blockchain projects. You can create an account at zero-cost and access this self-service tool at any time, without a consultation. If you are currently working with an advisor, they can also access the Forgd suite of tools entirely free of charge. If you are interested in engaging the Forgd team for consulting services, we offer white-glove advisory via application only.
