Raise amount aggregates the total funding a project secured before and during its token launch. This includes seed rounds (earliest stage, typically highest risk and lowest valuation), private sales (institutional investors at negotiated terms), public sales or IDOs (open to retail participants), and strategic rounds (partners who provide value beyond capital). On Tokenomist's token detail pages, the raise amount appears as a prominent header stat alongside other key metrics. The raise amount is analytically important because it directly correlates with investor token allocations and future sell pressure. A project that raised $200M across multiple rounds has committed a substantial portion of its token supply to investors who purchased at prices well below the current market. When vesting cliffs expire and these tokens unlock, investors sitting on significant unrealized gains have a strong incentive to sell — and the larger the raise, the larger the potential supply hitting the market. Combining raise amount with Tokenomist's vesting schedule data creates a powerful analytical framework. You can estimate the average cost basis of each funding round, calculate unrealized investor profits at current prices, and anticipate which cliff dates will release the most investor-held supply. Projects with large raise amounts and upcoming cliff expirations deserve closer monitoring, as the combination of large allocations and high unrealized gains creates the conditions for substantial sell pressure.
