Emission Comparison

Visualize upcoming releases and market pressure across projects

Overview

Rather than looking at emissions in isolation or the overall state of the market in Crypto Market Emission, Emission Comparison lets you see multiple tokens side by side, compare their upcoming releases, and visualize how much pressure each project is facing relative to supply.

Accessing Emission Comparison

You’ll find Emission Comparison in the top navigation, next to Crypto Market Emission, or through the sidebar.

When you open it, you’ll see three panes at the top:

  • Total Value Unlock shows the combined value of all unlocks, regardless of type.

  • Cliff Value Unlock isolates sudden one-time releases (e.g., team or investor cliffs).

  • Linear Value Unlock highlights tokens that are gradually released over time.

Using Emission Comparison

Start by choosing your timeframe: one week, one month, or extended horizons of +6 months or even +1 year . You can add any project for side-by-side comparison. By default, the top tokens are ranked by highest emission percentage.

You can choose to view emissions as percentages of circulating supply (reported by CoinGecko) or by unlocked supply (the current released supply). Please see Supply Metrics to learn more about how we define various types of supply.

Pro users can also export all comparison data as a CSV for deeper analysis.

Why It Matters

Emission Comparison is especially useful when you want to put projects in context.

  • A single token release might look large in absolute terms, but when compared against peers in the same sector, you may find it’s relatively small.

  • Likewise, two projects might both unlock $50m, but if one is 2% of supply and the other is 20%, the impact is very different.
