Each dimension is explained on the directory page, and the reasoning behind it is taught in the Academy research process.

Supply and value capture

High ongoing issuance. New tokens are minted continuously and holders are diluted unless they participate. Holders can stake to earn rewards, though much of that reward is newly issued rather than earned revenue.

Changes go through token holder governance, so control is distributed but influenced by whoever holds most. Ownership is heavily concentrated. A small number of wallets hold enough to determine the price on their own.

Where it is strong and where it is not

✓ Strengths
  • None. The project collapsed in 2022.
✗ Weaknesses
  • Its anonymous treasury manager was a convicted fraudster
  • Extremely high inflation funded yields that were pure dilution
  • Fell over ninety nine percent within days of the revelation
  • No meaningful operation remains

Incident history

2022

The pseudonymous treasury manager was revealed to be a convicted fraudster who had co-founded a collapsed exchange. The token fell over ninety nine percent within days and the project wound down.

Our read

Recorded as a lesson in why anonymous control of a treasury matters. The project held a very large treasury managed by a pseudonymous individual, whose identity when revealed included prior fraud convictions and involvement in the QuadrigaCX collapse. The token fell over ninety nine percent within days of the revelation.

The main risk

The project collapsed after its anonymous treasury manager was exposed as a convicted fraudster.

The ticker TIME is also used by Timeswap. Tickers are not unique in crypto. Confirm the contract address from the project's own documentation before buying, not from a search result or a screener link.

Before you buy anything

Check the contract address against the project's own documentation rather than a search result or a screener link, since impersonation tokens with identical names and logos are listed constantly. Check the order book depth before assuming you can exit at the quoted price. And write down what would make you wrong before you buy, not after. The Academy thesis module covers why that single habit protects more capital than any indicator.
