Celestia’s Tokenomics in Crisis: From Airdrop Euphoria to Market Freefall

Celestia's grand crypto experiment hits turbulence as tokenomics face brutal market scrutiny.

When the airdrop gravy train derails

The modular blockchain darling's TIA token has shed 60% since January—turning early adopters into bag holders faster than you can say 'vaporware.' Critics point to inflationary token unlocks and questionable vesting schedules that would make even a Wall Street quant blush.

Anatomy of a crypto comedown

Market makers are fleeing what they call 'the most predictable dump in Web3.' Meanwhile, the team keeps touting 'long-term alignment' while early backers cash out—because nothing says commitment like a 10x profit take.

The real test comes when the next unlock wave hits. Will Celestia's modular thesis hold up, or is this another case of 'do the opposite of what the whitepaper says'? Only your portfolio knows for sure.
