Known data gaps
- CoinGecko vs CMC circulating disagree (186M vs 383M). Used CMC (more recent).
- Per-bucket monthly amounts not published in a single doc; aggregator cuts differ between Tokenomist/DropsTab/CryptoRank.
- Series A and Series B per-token prices not publicly disclosed.
- Solana 5M WCT airdrop is carved out of the 13.5% Seasonal Airdrops bucket — not net-new supply.
