New Token Projects Launched per Month (by Chain) + Interactive Dashboard
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. Market size also drives how long your outreach sequence should be; for a framework on sequence length by market, see the outreach sequence guide for token projects.
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 March 2026 (includes launches through February 2026).

Quick Highlights: Oct 2025 to Feb 2026
The last five months reveal a classic year-end slowdown followed by a mixed recovery. October and November hold strong, December tanks, and January brings a partial bounce—then February shows who is really gaining: Solana keeps its lead, Base rebounds sharply, and BSC continues to slide while the long tail shrinks.
Here are three takeaways. Exact counts for the latest months and full chain splits are inside the dashboard.
- Solana stays on top but cools from its highs. It leads launches every month in this window—no contest. January delivers a solid bounce (~320 launches) after a weak December, but February settles at ~261. Builders still default to Solana; the pace is just moderating.
- Base rebounds in February. After falling to a low of ~53 launches in January, Base jumps to ~93 in February—a 75% month-on-month gain. It reasserts itself as the leading L2 for new token launches behind Solana and BSC.
- BSC loses steam and the long tail tightens. BSC drops from ~339 launches in October to ~91 in February. The "Other" bucket contracts from 119 to 44, and activity concentrates on fewer major chains. Solana and Base capture most of the rebound.

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
- New Token Projects Launched (monthly) - bar and line modes with date slider
- Projects by Blockchain - Share - stacked percent view (always totals 100%)
- Projects by Blockchain - Totals - cumulative lines (TAM by chain)
- 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
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
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
Hover any month to see the chain split (always totals 100%). Use this to decide where to focus outreach next month.
| Your question | Dashboard move | Resulting 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
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)
- Scan monthly launches to spot fresh waves you can prospect this week.
- Check chain share to confirm whether the wave is chain-specific.
- Verify cumulative totals to confirm the ecosystem is big enough for a sales sprint.
- Use the Other breakdown to catch emerging chains before they show up as "top 8".
- Execute: pull contacts from LeadGenCrypto, load your CRM, and run outreach.

Why our dataset beats popular coin trackers
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.
