Token Behavior Index ÔÇö Monetary Models
This index compares token behavior across different economic models: inflationary, deflationary, and fixed-supply. These models influence scarcity, value retention, utility, and investor psychology. Understanding tokenomics helps gauge long-term viability and use case alignment.
Use Case: Useful for analyzing whether a token grows in supply over time, burns excess supply, or maintains a capped total to simulate digital scarcity.
Key Concepts: Tokenomics, Scarcity, Minting, Burning, Hard Cap, Supply Schedule
Token Behavior Comparison:
| Token | Behavior | Supply Limit | Mechanism | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $BTC | Fixed Supply | 21 million | Halving every 4 years | Deflationary over time via issuance tapering |
| $ETH | Deflationary | No hard cap | Burns gas via EIP-1559 | Can become deflationary depending on usage |
| $DOGE | Inflationary | No cap | 5 billion new DOGE/year | Designed for tipping and low-value transfers |
| $XRP | Deflationary | 100 billion (pre-mined) | Transaction fees are burned | Supply decreases slowly over time |
| $XCN | Deflationary | 48 billion (after migration) | Massive burns + treasury restructuring | Token supply reduced significantly in 2023ÔÇô24 |
| $KAG / $KAU | Fixed / Backed | Tied to vault reserves | 1 token = 1 oz silver / 1 gram gold | Expansion depends on metal deposits |
| $SHIB | Deflationary | Initially 1 quadrillion | Burn campaigns + token sinks | Community-driven supply reduction |
