The Definitive Standardfor Token Economies

For price to rise, supply must remain constrained relative to demand. Projects that perform well early always exhibit effective supply control: locked liquidity, vesting, or treasury management.

In most launches, that control is opaque, discretionary, and concentrated among insiders. When attention peaks, supply is distributed into shallow liquidity. The outcome is predictable, and invisible to the participants absorbing it.

Every healthy market has sellers. The question is whether selling follows declared logic or private discretion. When opaque, you cannot tell sustainable profit-taking from an insider exit. Both look the same.

Projects that survive across cycles sell into strength, accumulate during rallies, and reacquire supply during downturns. PURITY encodes this behaviour as the rule, not the exception.

VC launches were at least honest about their hierarchy. Insiders received preferred terms, early prices, and large allocations. Lockups created the appearance of alignment while ensuring the largest holders would sell into retail demand at a profit.

Fair launches were positioned as the correction. No private rounds. No team allocation. In practice the advantage migrated: sniping bots, bundled launch buys, coordinated accumulation in the first blocks. The opacity remained, dressed in different clothes.

The problem was never the people. It was the absence of binding, visible rules.
