Tokenomist Allocation Breakdown

Skill: Allocation Breakdown

Get the full allocation distribution for a token — who owns what and how much is locked vs unlocked.

When to use

When you need to understand a token's supply distribution across allocations (team, investors, community, ecosystem, etc.).

Command

tok allocation detail <tokenId> --output json

Example

tok allocation detail solana --output json

Key output fields

Top-level:

• name, symbol — token identification
• maxSupply — maximum token supply (null if unlimited)
• totalUnlockedAmount — total tokens currently unlocked
• totalLockedAmount — total tokens still locked
• totalUntrackedAmount — tokens not tracked by Tokenomist
• totalTBDLockedAmount — tokens locked with no defined unlock schedule

Per allocation (allocations[]):

• allocationName — project-specific allocation name
• standardAllocationName — Tokenomist's standardized category (comparable across projects)
• allocationType — allocation classification
• allocationAmount — total tokens in this allocation
• allocationUnlockedAmount — tokens unlocked from this allocation
• allocationLockedAmount — tokens still locked in this allocation
• trackedAllocationPercentage — % of total tracked supply

Analysis workflow

1. Get allocation: tok allocation detail <id> --output json
2. Check totalLockedAmount vs totalUnlockedAmount for overall supply status
3. Look at individual allocations — high locked amounts in "Investor" or "Team" allocations signal future sell pressure
4. Compare standardAllocationName across different tokens for apples-to-apples comparison
5. Cross-reference with tok unlock upcoming to see when locked tokens will release

Domain Context

• Allocations are point-in-time analyses. They reflect the current understanding of token distribution and may be updated as new information becomes available.
• standardAllocationName enables cross-project comparison — different projects may use different names for similar allocations (e.g., "Core Contributors" vs "Team"), but the standard name normalizes this.
• totalTBDLockedAmount represents tokens that are known to be locked but have no defined unlock schedule. Their classification may change as the project releases more information.

Workflow

• Use allocation data as context for unlock analysis — understanding allocations helps interpret who is receiving unlocked tokens and why it matters.
• Chain with tok fundraising detail <id> to see investor-specific allocation details and funding round information.
• Compare allocationLockedAmount vs allocationUnlockedAmount per allocation to identify which groups still have significant locked positions.
