Checking in on $SAGA - in case you’re stuck on the

1⃣Massive Unlocks Looming
2⃣Inflation
3⃣Airdrop Treadmill
4⃣Chain Usage
1⃣Massive Unlocks
🔸April 9, 2025: Cliffs end, 133.33M tokens hit (148% of 90M initial supply).
🔸Core Contributors: 66.72M (33.36% of 200M).
🔸Investors: 50.04M (33.36% of 150M).
🔸Rest (16.57M): Likely ecosystem/airdrops, but unclear.
Price impact: Down unless demand magically appears (from where?). I usually don't talk about price action nor am I qualified for it but you can't ignore this.
2⃣Inflation
🔸7% yearly = ~70M new tokens. No burn in sight.
🔸Stakers diluted, chasing more $SAGA rewards.
More tokens ≠ more value.
3⃣Airdrop Lock-In Trap & Treadmill
🔸Total airdrop allocation: 140M-155M (14%-15.5% of 1B supply).
🔸Genesis: 45M (15M claimed, 30M unclaimed).
🔸Future drops: 95M-110M left (varies by source).
🔸Airdrop Vaults push for max restaking and now shifting slowly to LP.
Keeps you in, but value’s tanking - loyalty’s a leash, not a lifeline.
4⃣Chain Usage? Crickets
🔸 Saga’s “L1 for L1s” sounds slick, but where’s the beef? 350+ testnet projects by April 2024 (80% gaming - Rogue Nation, Generative Dungeon, Vennity), yet mainnet’s quiet a year in.
🔸Partnerships (Avalanche, Polygon) tease potential, but no big names live.
Tech’s unproven without adoption.
tl;dr: Unlocks flood supply, adoption’s MIA, and staking’s a hamster wheel.
➡️The chain’s gotta deliver something real to justify holding.
➡️We are all hungry to hear who is building with $SAGA underneath and I hope the Team account will highlight these partners or provide more directional updates beyond telling us how great the stack is.
DYOR, NFA. Numbers might be off - Happy for $SAGA to drop official stats and I'll post an update.
