Terms & Concepts
- Airdrop: A distribution of tokens to users, typically for free, to encourage adoption or reward community participation.
- Token unlocks: Scheduled releases of previously locked tokens, often for team or investors, which can increase circulating supply.
- Buybacks: When a project repurchases its tokens from the market, often to support price or offset selling pressure.
