This section evaluates how Karura allocates its token supply compared to leading DeFi projects. It measures deviation across key stakeholder groups and determines whether the allocation aligns with proven benchmarks. The analysis helps assess whether KAR follows a fair and balanced distribution structure or introduces concentration risks.
This section analyzes who holds actual control over the Karura circulating supply year over year, with a focus on early stages where governance risk is highest. It assesses whether the governance power of KAR is centralized or decentralized, and flags any dominance by insiders or investors.
This section analyzes whether KAR token inflation is sustainable over time. We compare annual emission rates against top-performing projects, assess how balanced the vesting and unlock schedules are, and evaluate how inflationary pressure may affect long-term token value, circulating supply growth, and investor dilution.
This section tracks every KAR token unlock and dilution event across the full vesting timeline. We quantify the size and timing of each release, classify dilution risk levels (low, medium, high), and highlight the largest unlock event by date and percentage of total supply. Charts help understand emission pressure and anticipate potential supply shocks.
This section evaluates the circulating supply and emission schedule of KAR, focusing on its initial float at TGE, its dilution profile over time, and how these levels compare with top-performing projects.
This section reviews all investor fundraising rounds for Karura and the token purchase terms attached to KAR. It compares entry price, unlock structure, vesting length and if terms align with market standards.
This section evaluates how fast investors recover their initial capital across Karura's private rounds. We track cumulative ROI from token unlocks, identify which rounds break even first or last, and pinpoint the month when ROI becomes positive to assess payback speed and round attractiveness.
This section ranks all investment rounds based on key investor metrics, including break-even speed, recovery at TGE, Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV), and Vested Diluted Valuation (VDV). Each round is scored and ordered from most to least favorable, showing which round offers the strongest conditions for investors in Karura.

Karura is the decentralized financial (DeFi) hub of the Kusama network, designed as Acala's sister platform for enhanced cross-chain financial capabilities. As a top-tier parachain, Karura empowers developers and users with a fast, scalable, and user-friendly blockchain ecosystem tailored for Kusama and interoperable with Polkadot. Central to Karura’s operations is the $KAR token, a utility and governance token driving the ecosystem's functionality. The $KAR token plays an integral role in securing Karura’s parachain, facilitating governance decisions, and staking to ensure network reliability. It also underpins transaction fees and incentivizes liquidity provision in Karura’s decentralized applications. Karura enables users to interact seamlessly with groundbreaking DeFi services such as staking, token swapping, borrowing, and lending, all powered by its advanced, high-throughput parachain infrastructure. One of Karura’s flagship offerings is the Karura Dollar (kUSD), a decentralized, multi-collateralized stablecoin backed by cross-chain assets. This stablecoin ensures low volatility, allowing users to transact reliably across the Kusama and Polkadot ecosystems. Additionally, Karura’s advanced automation in financial trading, combined with reduced transaction costs, significantly enhances user efficiency and trading strategies. Karura’s tokenomics is built on sustainable economic mechanisms aimed at creating long-term value. The finite $KAR supply supports network scarcity, while staking mechanisms and transaction fees prevent token inflation. Users and developers benefit from fast transaction finality, interoperability with other parachains in the Polkadot ecosystem, and a robust framework for scaling decentralized applications (dApps). Perfectly positioned as a DeFi hub, Karura exemplifies how interoperability between blockchain networks can streamline and revolutionize digital finance. Karura's position as Kusama’s financial hub enhances its market appeal, making it a pivotal player within the Polkadot ecosystem. Through its advanced tokenomics, staking mechanisms, and innovations like kUSD, Karura is paving the way for a scalable and efficient multichain DeFi future.
