# Crypto Market Emission ## Overview **Crypto Market Emission** lets you track how much token supply is entering circulation across the entire crypto market. This gives you a clear sense of not just *when* tokens are being released, but also *how much value* is being released at any given time, allowing you to anticipate periods of higher dilution risk.

## Accessing Crypto Market Emission You can open **Crypto Market Emission** directly from the sidebar. Once inside, you’ll see an interactive chart displaying the total market value of tokens unlocking over time. A toggle at the top lets you switch views between * **Total Value Unlock**, which aggregates everything * **Cliff Value Unlock**, which highlights cliff releases * **Linear Value Unlock**, which filters only the steady drip of ongoing emissions. {% embed url="" %} ## Using Crypto Market Emission By default, emissions are shown in a **rolling 5-month window (+2 / –2 months)**, while **Pro users** can extend this to a **13-month horizon (+6 / –6 months)** for a broader outlook. The chart can be viewed **weekly** or **monthly**, and toggled between **total value** or, on **Pro**, broken down by **individual** **tokens** . When grouped by tokens, tokens with unlocked values below a certain percentage of the total for each period are grouped into the '**Others**' category. For more details please see [below](#others-percentage-criteria). {% embed url="" %} Beneath the chart, a table shows which tokens are driving emissions during the selected window. You can check unlocks for the current week or month, and compare them against **circulating supply**, **unlocked supply**, or **long-term supply through 2035**. {% embed url="" %} **Filters** add another layer of context. Emissions can be narrowed to sectors such as AI, DeFi, Layer 1, or NFT tokens, while **Pro** accounts also filter by **allocation type** . Finally, both the chart and table can be exported as **CSV files** so you can analyze the data in your own models. ## Why It Matters Understanding market-wide emissions helps you anticipate when liquidity pressure may increase across the industry. A $100m unlock from one project may look large, but when seen as part of $2b in cumulative unlocks happening the same week, the bigger picture becomes clear. ## Others Percentage Criteria When grouping the Crypto Market Emission chart by tokens, tokens with unlocked values below a certain percent of the total for each period are grouped into the '**Others**' category. The thresholds for the **Others** cutoff are as follows | Week | 2M | 6M | | ------ | -- | -- | | All | 2% | 3% | | Cliff | 3% | 5% | | Linear | 1% | 1% | | Month | 2M | 6M | | ------ | -- | -- | | All | 1% | 2% | | Cliff | 3% | 5% | | Linear | 1% | 1% | ## Where To Next? * See [Emission: Cliff, Linear](/methodology/emission-cliff-linear.md) to learn about how we categorize cliff and linear releases. * Check out [Supply Metrics](/methodology/supply-metrics.md) to learn more about definitions of terms like circulating and unlocked supply. * See how you can utilize [Emission Comparison](/features/emission/emission-comparison.md) and [Emission Screener](/features/emission/emission-screener.md) together with Crypto Market Emission. * Learn more about [CSV Download](/features/csv-download.md) and where you can use it. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
