Understanding Project Metrics

Key metrics help evaluate a project's investment potential:

  • Market Capitalization:

    • Calculated as Token Price × Circulating Supply.

    • Higher market caps generally indicate established tokens but may limit growth potential.

  • Liquidity:

    • Refers to the ease of buying or selling tokens without significantly affecting the price.

    • Check liquidity pool size (on platforms like Raydium) and token volume.

  • Volume:

    • Indicates the total amount of tokens traded within a specific period.

    • Higher trading volume often reflects stronger investor interest.

  • Token Distribution:

    • Analyze the allocation to teams, early investors, community rewards, and liquidity pools.

    • Ideal projects have balanced, transparent distributions to avoid manipulation.

  • Tokenomics:

    • Understand total supply, circulating supply, emission schedules, and inflation rates.

    • Ensure tokenomics align with long-term project sustainability.

  • Community and Social Engagement:

    • Active communities can significantly influence token value.

    • Assess community size, activity level, and quality of engagement.
