Overview

Tokenomist classifies crypto fundraising rounds into standardized categories to help users compare how projects raised capital. From pre-seed grants to public token sales to traditional Series A+ venture rounds, each round type carries different implications for token supply, investor lock-ups, and dilution risk. This taxonomy provides a consistent framework for understanding a project’s funding history and how it may affect future token distribution.
