Introduction

This dashboard serves as a valuable tool for anyone interested in gaining a deep understanding of the NEAR token ecosystem. By breaking down the circulating supply of NEAR into staking, locked, and liquid categories, the dashboard provides a detailed overview of the current state of the token market.

Moreover, the dashboard is designed to be user-friendly and accessible to a broad range of stakeholders, including investors, developers, and validators. The aggregated view of staked, locked, and liquid NEAR over time allows for a quick assessment of the overall state of the token market, while the three individual parts that illustrate monthly trends for each category offer more granular insights. Overall, this dashboard provides an invaluable resource for anyone interested in monitoring the health and growth of the NEAR token economy.

Definitions

NEAR: is a cryptocurrency used for transactions and staking in the NEAR Protocol, a blockchain platform for building decentralized applications. It also allows holders to participate in network governance.

Total supply: the maximum number of tokens that can ever exist for a particular cryptocurrency. This number is typically determined at the creation of the token and is often specified in the token's whitepaper or other related documentation.

Circulating supply: refers to the total number of tokens that are currently available and in circulation on the open market. This excludes any tokens that are locked up or held by the project team, as well as tokens that have not yet been released or minted. The circulating supply is an important metric for understanding the market capitalization and value of a token, as it represents the actual number of tokens that are available for trading and investment.

Locked tokens: refer to tokens that are not immediately available for transfer or trade, as they are held in a smart contract with specific rules and conditions for unlocking and releasing them.

Staked tokens: refer to cryptocurrency assets that are locked up as collateral to secure a network and to help validate transactions. Stakers are rewarded with additional cryptocurrency for their participation in securing the network.

liquid tokens in crypto, refers to tokens that are readily available to be bought, sold, or traded on the open market without any restrictions. They are not locked or staked in any way and can be easily moved or exchanged for other cryptocurrencies or fiat currencies.
