How sustainable is a token's emission schedule really? That's the question every serious investor should be asking.

A token emission stress test cuts through the noise by analyzing whether tokenomics will create relentless selling pressure or if there's genuine buy pressure to offset it. You're essentially auditing the token's long-term viability before it becomes tomorrow's headline.

The methodology is straightforward: pull data from DeFiLlama for protocol metrics, cross-reference TokenUnlocks for vesting schedules, check the project documentation for emission timelines, and verify on-chain data. Layer these together and you can see the real picture—whether emissions will gradually choke the token or if the project has solid fundamentals beneath the surface.

It's the difference between a token with an edge and one destined to bleed out. The data's there; you just need to know where to look.
