Key Takeaways
1
Tokenomics evaluates a crypto project's economic sustainability through supply, distribution, and utility
2
Check if supply is capped or infinite and whether burn mechanisms exist
3
Large VC token unlocks signal upcoming sell pressure on the market
4
A token must have clear utility like access, governance, or staking to sustain demand
Practical Example
A token with 1B total supply where 60% unlocks for the team in month 6 is a red flag - that's $600M of potential sell pressure hitting the market at once.
