That 3% $CKB unlock on Nov 16 (1.34B tokens) isn't the cliff dump you think it is.
Most of this supply unlocks linearly over time, not in one catastrophic event. It's chain issuance baked into the model from day one—not some surprise VC exit.
$CKB's inflation is structural:
• New coins → miners + state rent (storing data costs $CKB)
• This creates organic demand that absorbs supply
• Long-term holders lock in Nervos DAO and get compensated for inflation
You can literally opt out of dilution if you're not short-term oriented.
The real question isn't the unlock schedule—it's whether demand and actual usage catch up. Gradual unlocks are already priced in. What moves price is adoption, not FUD over tokenomics most people don't read.
Once you understand the mechanics, that headline stops being scary.
