Understanding Token Metrics
How supply mechanics affect token price.
Inflation vs. Deflation
Inflationary tokens increase in supply over time (like Dogecoin), potentially diluting value. Deflationary tokens reduce supply (like BNB or ETH post-merge), potentially increasing scarcity and value.
Market Cap vs. Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV)
Market Cap: Price × Circulating Supply. This is the current accessible value.
FDV: Price × Total Max Supply. This shows the future value if all tokens were unlocked today. A low Market Cap with a high FDV is a "Low Float, High FDV" trap—expect massive sell pressure from unlocks.
Token Burns & Buybacks
Projects may use profits to "Buyback and Burn" tokens, permanently removing them from circulation. This is effectively a dividend paid to all holders by increasing the scarcity of their remaining tokens.
Understanding Emissions
Emissions are new tokens created to reward stakers, miners, or liquidity providers. High emissions attract capital but create sell pressure. Sustainable projects balance emissions with real revenue (burns).
Frequently Asked Questions
Not automatically. Burning reduces supply, but price is determined by demand. If demand stays constant, lower supply *should* increase price, but it's not instant magic—it's a long-term mechanic.
A cliff is a period where NO tokens are unlocked. For example, '1 year cliff' means investors get 0 tokens for 12 months, and then tokens start unlocking. Cliffs delay sell pressure.
Check the project's whitepaper or documentation for the 'Tokenomics' section. Look for an 'Emission Schedule' chart. Be wary of projects that hide this info.
Not necessarily. Ethereum has no hard cap but is currently deflationary due to burns. Dogecoin has infinite supply (fixed yearly issuance) which acts as a predictable, low inflation rate suitable for currency.
