New Token Projects Launched per Month (by Chain) + Interactive Dashboard

World map with rising trend lines and blockchain icons symbolising growth in the number of token-based crypto projects.

If you sell services to token-based crypto projects, timing is everything. New projects buy audits, listings, liquidity, marketing, dev, compliance, and tooling right after launch. Miss the window and a competitor gets the budget.

LeadGenCrypto's Crypto Launch Barometer tracks verified token-based project launches by chain (not meme-coin noise). Coverage starts December 2020 and updates monthly.

Last updated: 1 Feb 2026 (includes launches through January 2026).

Public preview vs private dashboard

  • On this page you get public preview charts, with the most recent months hidden.
  • Unlock the private dashboard to see the latest months, apply filters, and export snapshots (plus the new "Other" breakdown chart).

Quick Highlights: Oct 2025 to Jan 2026

The last four months show a clear year-end dip and a partial January rebound. October and November stay relatively strong, December drops hard, and January climbs back but does not fully return to the Oct-Nov pace. Chains move in different directions: Solana and Ethereum gain ground, while Base and BSC lose momentum and the long tail tightens.

Here are three takeaways. Exact counts for the latest months and full chain splits are inside the dashboard.

  • Solana stays on top and snaps back in January. It leads launches each month, dips in December, then rebounds sharply in January (roughly +25% month on month). Builders still treat Solana as the default launchpad.
  • Ethereum posts its strongest month in January. After a weak December, Ethereum surges and retakes attention as a core deployment target while some L2 activity softens.
  • Base and BSC cool off, and the long tail shrinks. Base declines month after month in this window, BSC drops steeply into December, and the "Other" bucket contracts. Activity concentrates on fewer major chains, with Solana and Ethereum as the main beneficiaries.

How to Read the Interactive Launch Dashboard and Turn the Numbers into Revenue

Tip: Click any legend label to hide or reveal a chain. The chart recalculates instantly so you can focus on only the ecosystems that matter to you.

What is inside the dashboard: 4 charts

  1. New Token Projects Launched (monthly) - bar and line modes with date slider
  2. Projects by Blockchain - Share - stacked percent view (always totals 100%)
  3. Projects by Blockchain - Totals - cumulative lines (TAM by chain)
  4. Other Chains Breakdown - expands the "Other" bucket into individual chains so you can see which long-tail networks actually drive the totals

1) New Token Projects Launched: two insight modes

a) Monthly bar view

Bar and line chart showing the number of new token projects launched per month (public preview).

A listings sales manager (exchange, launchpad, coin tracker, listing agency) compares internal outreach volume against real launch volume. If your team contacted 100 prospects in a month but 600+ projects launched, you are under-covered. That gap is your missed revenue.

b) Cumulative line view

Line chart showing cumulative total token projects launched over time (public preview).

Toggle the cumulative line to show long-term market expansion. Founders use this to justify hiring, SDR headcount, or new vertical plays.

2) Projects by Blockchain: Share percentage

Stacked area chart showing percentage share of new token projects by blockchain (public preview).

Hover any month to see the chain split (always totals 100%). Use this to decide where to focus outreach next month.

Your questionDashboard moveResulting insight
Should we double down on Solana?Check the latest month, then compare vs 3 months ago.You see if momentum is real or fading.
Who is losing steam?Watch any chain's share shrink 3 months in a row.You can reallocate sales time early.

3) Projects by Blockchain: Cumulative totals

Multi-line chart showing cumulative totals per blockchain (public preview).

This "league table" helps you size TAM for any chain and see which ecosystems are compounding fastest.

4) Other Chains Breakdown

In the first three charts, blockchains outside the top 8 (Arbitrum, BSC, Base, Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, TON, Tron) are grouped into a single bucket called Other.

The fourth chart expands Other into individual chains so you can see:

  • which long-tail networks contribute the most projects,
  • how the composition shifts month to month,
  • where the Other totals come from in the Share and Totals charts.

Workflow checklist (how revenue teams use this)

  1. Scan monthly launches to spot fresh waves you can prospect this week.
  2. Check chain share to confirm whether the wave is chain-specific.
  3. Verify cumulative totals to confirm the ecosystem is big enough for a sales sprint.
  4. Use the Other breakdown to catch emerging chains before they show up as "top 8".
  5. Execute: pull contacts from LeadGenCrypto, load your CRM, and run outreach.

Why this data matters for crypto service providers

BenefitWhy it helps you sell more
Marketing budget timingCatch launch waves while projects still spend.
Chain prioritisationFocus outreach where launch volume accelerates.
Market-size planningQuantify TAM before you invest in a new product line.
Prospect-coverage benchmarkCompare your outreach volume vs real launches.
Ops and hiring forecastsScale your team with actual market activity.
Proof for clients and investorsBack proposals with transparent launch data.

Before comparing dashboards, ask: does the data match your sales reality?

Popular trackers often count every contract deployment. Service budgets sit inside far fewer real teams. We built this dataset for revenue teams first.

  • Longer history: our series begins Dec 2020 and updates monthly.
  • Project-level focus: we track only teams capable of buying services.
  • Duplicate control: we consolidate duplicates so one project equals one entry.
  • Meme-coin noise removed: thousands of one-day rugs do not buy services, so we exclude them.
