Incentives emitted (USD)
USD value of the tokens of this emission type (categories farming and ecosystem, or a section flagged isIncentive) newly released in the month. Each day's tokens × the day's price as the Value Capture lab takes it: CoinGecko's daily point at 00:00 UTC of the day (
price_usd of the day before, source coingecko), else DefiLlama's close of the day (price_usd, source defillama); a day inside the price history without either takes the nearest earlier price. A month in which tokens were released on a past day without a price has no value (blank, never the sum of its priced days). From DefiLlama's unlock model (the schedule file archived by defillama.token_emissions: each rise of a section's running total on its UTC day, sections filed by type as connectors/defillama/projects.ts emissionTypeOf) with the project's research adjustments (research-data/<project>/adjustments.json: a section's scale, for all its points or a span, researched monthly issuance replacing the model in its months, onchain series replacing the model from a stated day, each to an optional last day (onchain_emission: AERO's old Minter payouts from base.aero_minter_flows to 2026-10-21, then the new AERO token's daily total supply growth from base.token_supply; with sections, only those sections up to the newest day read: Venice's "Team" section from 2025-01-28 by the daily rise of team_vesting_streamed_close, base.venice_team_vesting), supplemental releases the model lacks). A month inside the model's range (its first to last point), a researched month, or a month the onchain payouts cover in full with no release of this type is 0 (from the day onchain payouts take over, a month they do not cover in full is blank); any other month is blank, apart from a month with a supplemental release (that type only). Monthly on project:<id> (source derived, derived.emissions); the running month is partial.Definition
