Allocation Comparison
Compare token distribution across projects to see who holds supply
Overview
Allocation Comparison lets you compare how different projects distribute their tokens across key stakeholder groups. Instead of looking at one project in isolation, you can line up multiple tokens side by side and compare how they have structured their stakeholder allocations.
This feature uses Tokenomist’s Standard Allocations framework, ensuring every project is classified in a consistent way.
Accessing Allocation Comparison
You’ll find Allocation Comparison under the Allocation tab in the navigation bar, or through the sidebar. When opened, you can add any tokens to the comparison pane. Each project will appear with its supply broken down by allocation category.
Using Allocation Comparison
At the top, you can toggle between Unlocked, Locked, or Total supply distribution. You can also switch between percentage view, absolute USD value, or a stacked bar layout for easier cross-project comparison.
The chart can also be grouped both by token or by allocation for easier comparison across categories.
Each bar is color-coded by allocation type, and can be toggled at the bottom of the bottom of the component. The striped section of a bar represents TBD allocations: tokens that don’t yet have a defined release schedule. For details on how TBD is handled, see TBD Locked.
Why It Matters
Allocation structures tell you who controls a project’s supply and where future selling or governance power may come from. A project with a heavy investor allocation looks very different from one dominated by community or ecosystem reserves.
By comparing multiple tokens side by side, you can quickly see which projects are founder heavy, investor heavy, or more community driven, and build a clearer picture of risk and alignment.
