How to find the "Unlock Schedule" of a coin

Most people think a coin’s supply is fixed once it launches, but that’s like assuming a new game releases all its cool content on day one! 🎮

Imagine a super-hyped video game that promises tons of new characters and levels. They don't just dump everything on you at launch, right?
That’s exactly how an “unlock schedule” works for a crypto coin.
It’s a pre-set plan, agreed upon by the project, that dictates when and how much of the total coin supply gets released into circulation over time.
These coins are usually held by the team, early investors, or for community incentives.
The confusing part is when you invest in a coin thinking you know its supply, but then a huge chunk suddenly unlocks, totally surprising you!
Therefore, understanding an unlock schedule helps us avoid that scary feeling of seeing a sudden supply surge.
It’s crucial because a large unlock means more coins are available to be sold, potentially increasing selling pressure if demand doesn’t keep up!
You can usually find this schedule in the project's “tokenomics” section on their website, in their whitepaper, or on dedicated crypto data sites like CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap.
Knowing when tokens unlock lets you anticipate potential market movements, helping you make smarter, calmer decisions! ✨

Most cross-chain expansions feel desperate like "our chain failed so let's go everywhere"
VANRY's Base integration feels different and here's why
The AI infrastructure problem:
if you're building for AI agents, you can't stay on one chain
AI doesn't care about your L1. it needs to operate where users already are
staying isolated on Vanar chain alone = building a highway that doesn't connect to any cities

Base makes strategic sense:
Coinbase's chain, massive user base, Ethereum security, actually has users and liquidity
more importantly: AI applications need to interact with existing DeFi, existing users, existing liquidity
VANRY products (myNeutron for memory, Kayon for reasoning) are more useful when they can touch Base ecosystem
The tokenomics angle nobody talks about:
cross-chain doesn't dilute Vanry value if done right - it should increase it
more chains = more usage points = more utility for the token
but only if Vanry is required for those AI features across chains
the risk: if VANRY works on Base without needing Vanry token, you just gave away your Price

What this means for token holders:
if cross-chain increases actual usage of AI infrastructure, Vanry captures that value
if it just spreads brand awareness but doesn't drive token utility, it's worthless
the difference: are Base users paying in Vanry for AI features, or just using the tech for free?
Compar to failed cross-chain attempts:
most projects go cross-chain when dying on their native chain
VANRY's going cross-chain while native chain still functions
that's actually the right time - expand from strength, not desperation

the execution question:
having smart strategy doesn't mean good execution
will Base developers actually use VANRY's AI stack?
or will this be another "we're on 10 chains" project with no usage anywhere?
watching to see if cross-chain brings real activity or just more surface area with no depth
honestly though, if AI infrastructure is the play, being chain-agnostic is correct

AI agents don't have chain loyalty - they need to work everywhere

How "Burning" tokens increases value

Ever wonder why some crypto projects destroy their own tokens? It sounds scary, but it's actually a clever strategy to make your holdings more valuable!

Imagine your favorite limited edition sneakers 👟. If everyone has a pair, they aren't that special, right?
In crypto, many projects start with a large supply of tokens.
Token 'burning' is like permanently taking some of those sneakers out of circulation by sending them to a digital address where no one can ever access them again.
But, it can feel a little confusing to grasp how destroying something could actually be good for its value.

Therefore, by reducing the total supply of tokens, burning makes the remaining ones scarcer and potentially more valuable, assuming demand stays the same or grows.
Think of it like a rare piece of art - the fewer there are, the more each individual piece is prized!
When a project burns tokens, we often feel a sense of relief and excitement because it signals a commitment to long-term value for the community.
So, next time you hear about token burning, remember it's usually a strategic move to boost the value of the tokens we hold! ✨

everyone talks about Plasma's low fees but nobody talks about what you're actually paying
The pitch sounds great:
near-zero gas fees, fractions of a cent per transaction, way cheaper than Ethereum's $5-50 fees
finaly, a chain where you're not bleeding money on every swap
but here's what they don't tell you:
you're not paying gas fees, you're paying through inflation
Ethereum: $10 gas fee → goes to validators → no inflation needed → your ETH holdings unchanged
Plasma: $0.001 gas fee → gets burned → validators paid via inflation → yur XPL holdings diluted ~3% annually

math that matters:
if you make 100 transactions a year on Ethereum at $10 each = $1,000 in visible costs
if you hold $10,000 in XPL and it inflates 3% = $300 in invisible costs
plus you still pay the tiny gas fees that get burned
so who's actually cheaper? depeds entirely on your usage pattern
high volume users might prefer Plasma:
if you're making 1,000+ transactions yearly, Ethereum gas would destroy you
Plasma's model makes more sense - pay through holding dilution instead of per-transaction
low-volume holders get wrecked:
if you make 10 transactions a year but hold XPL long-term, you're paying inflation without benefiting from low fees
you'd be better off paying Ethereum's gas and holding deflationary ETH

the tokenomics sleight of hand:
"zero fee" makes people forget about inflation
burning fees sounds deflationary until you realize inflation exceds burns unless usage is extremely high
target is ~3% net inflation - that's your real "gas fee" as a holder

Compare to transparent fee markets:
Base: clear fees, you know exactly what you're paying
Solana: cheap fees funded by inflation, but they're upfront about it
Plasma: markets itself on low fees while hiding the inflation cost
Here is my issue:
I don't mind inflation-funded models if they're honest about it
but calling it "low fee" when holders are paying via dilution feels misleading
it's not cheaper, it's just different accounting
maybe it works for heavy users, but for holders? you're paying the gas fees of everyone else
what's your usage pattern - are you better off with visible fees or hidden inflation?

What is "Emission Rate" and why it matters

Ever wondered why some crypto projects feel like they're printing money nonstop, while others are super scarce? It's all thanks to something called the 'emission rate' - and understanding it can save you from a major headscratcher later! 🤔

Think of it like a new bakery deciding how many fresh croissants 🥐 they’ll bake each hour and hand out to loyal customers.
The emission rate in crypto is just that: the controlled speed at which new tokens are introduced into circulation, usually on a pre-set schedule.
We often hear 'more tokens mean lower price,' and that sounds scary, but it’s not always the full story, which can feel really confusing! 🤯

Therefore, an emission rate isn't just about 'printing' tokens; it’s about how and why they’re created, often to incentivize participation or secure the network.
This mechanism helps manage the token supply, directly influencing its scarcity and potential value over time.
So, when you’re looking at a project, checking their emission schedule helps you understand if those new tokens are a healthy incentive for growth or a potential dilution trap.
You're basically getting a sneak peek into their long-term financial strategy, and that's super smart! ✨

INTRODUCTION
Listen, I’ve been rekt before. In 2021, I bought a "promising" gaming token because the website looked cool. Two weeks later? Down 95%. Why? Because I ignored the Tokenomics.
Most people treat crypto like a casino. They see a low price and think "cheap." But experienced traders know: Price is vanity, Tokenomics is sanity.
If you don't understand who holds the supply and when they can dump on you, you are not an investor. You are Exit Liquidity.
Today, I’m putting on my mentor hat. Let’s save your portfolio from the next rug pull.
1. THE "INSIDER TRAP": HIGH TEAM ALLOCATION
This is the most common killer. You find a new shiny Altcoin, but you check the distribution and see:
Team: 25%Advisors: 10%"Ecosystem Fund" (controlled by team): 30%Public Sale: 10%
Why this is bad: When insiders hold >50% of the supply, the project is centralized. They don't need to build a product; they just need to wait for the unlock date and sell on your head.
The Rule: If Public Allocation is less than 50%, be extremely careful. Real decentralized projects (like Bitcoin or fair-launch coins) don't give the CEO a billion dollars for free.
Check $WLD (Worldcoin) for a masterclass in high insider supply.
2. THE "INFLATION BOMB": LOW CIRCULATING SUPPLY
You see a token trading at $1.00.
Market Cap: $10 Million (Looks cheap! "Gem!")Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV): $1 Billion
What this means: Only 1% of the tokens are currently in the market. The other 99% are locked in a cage, waiting to be released.
Over the next 1-2 years, that supply WILL hit the market. If demand doesn't grow by 100x (spoiler: it won't), the price MUST crash to absorb the new tokens.
The Rule: Never buy a token with <10% Circulating Supply unless you are scalping for 5 minutes.
Look at huge FDV coins from 2024 that are now dead. Inflation is the silent killer.
3. THE "YIELD TRAP": UNSUSTAINABLE APY
"Stake now and earn 500% APY!" 🤑
Sounds great, right? Wrong.
Where does that yield come from? It comes from printing more tokens.
If a project pays you 500% in their own token, they are inflating the supply by 500%. Your share of the pie stays the same (or shrinks), while the price of the token collapses because everyone is selling their rewards.
The Rule: Real yield comes from Revenue (fees), not Inflation. If the project doesn't make money (like a DEX taking fees), the APY is a trap.
THE "SECRET SAUCE": CHECK THE UNLOCK CALENDAR 🤫
Here is the alpha that separates pros from amateurs.
Before you buy, go to TokenUnlocks or Coinglass.
Look for the next "Cliff Unlock" (a massive release of tokens on a specific day).
If a project has a $50M unlock next week, DO NOT BUY.Smart Money shorts the unlock. Dumb Money buys the dip and gets crushed.
Pro Tip: Often, the price dumps 2-3 days BEFORE the unlock as insiders front-run the news.
YOUR SURVIVAL CHECKLIST
Before you ape into that next 100x gem, ask these 3 questions:
Who holds the bags? (Is >20% in one wallet?)What is the FDV? (Is it 10x higher than Market Cap?)When is the next unlock? (Is it this month?)
CONCLUSION
Crypto is a Player vs Player game. The VCs and Insiders have the best weapons (early entry, cheap tokens). Your only weapon is Due Diligence.
Don't be the person buying their bags at the top. Be the person spotting the Red Flag and walking away.
