GeckoTerminal aggregate
Dated populations · explicit denominators · no silent addition
The state of dead tokens.
Crypto mortality is measured three different ways below: last active trade, first observed website failure and human-reviewed project evidence. Each series keeps its own definition, source date and missingness.

This curated cohort tests the evidence model. It cannot estimate market-wide mortality.
04 / WEBSITE CHECKS
Offline detections by month and year
Blockspot’s published benchmark records when its checker flagged a site—not necessarily the historic day a project died. Scanner and backfill batches can dominate a month.

Do not call “deaths ÷ new listings” a mortality rate.
It compares two same-period flows, not the share of a launch cohort that failed. June 2026’s 1,865% is more consistent with a large detection/backfill batch than a cohort survival estimate.
