MemeCore's native token M mints 30 M per block at 7-second blocks — about 33M M every 90 days — with no quantifiable burn offsetting it. Framework reading: +2.52% net on a ~1.31B circulating base. Beyond the emission, roughly 40% of the 10B max supply sits in reserves with no disclosed vesting schedule.
The verdict, in one paragraph
For the 90-day window ending June 11 2026, the framework reads M at +2.52% net inflation — continuous block-reward emission with nothing structural absorbing it. The aggregator monitor reads −24.86% over the same window, a 27.4-percentage-point gap that triggers the ⚠ chip. The deep walk resolved the contradiction: the monitor's 30-day reading is positive (+0.9%) — matching the block-reward pace — while its 90-day reading is deeply negative, a sign flip that pinpoints a one-time mid-window reclassification of ~434M out of the upstream circulating count, not a real burn or lock. M is structurally inflationary on the active float.
Sell pressure: where new M comes from
Sell #1 (protocol inflation) booked ~33M M this window: the proof-of-meme chain pays 30 M per block at 7-second blocks — roughly 370K M per day — mining the supply from the 5B genesis (Sep 9 2025) toward the 10B max. The reward splits 75% to M stakers, 24% to meme-token delegators, and 1% to block proposers. Sell #2 (vesting unlocks) is 0 with a major caveat: the Foundation (15%), Core Contributors (13%) and Investors (12%) allocations carry no publicly disclosed vesting timelines — the docs state this explicitly — so the row ships at zero as an opacity, not as a verified absence. Sell #3 (Foundation and unscheduled unlocks) is 0 with the full reserve stack enumerated below. Sell #4 (bankruptcy) is 0.
Buy pressure: where new M goes
Effectively nowhere. Buy #1 (programmatic buyback) is 0; no buyback mechanism is disclosed. Buy #2 (protocol fee burn) is 0 as a quantified row: a portion of gas fees is burned, but the project does not disclose the fraction, and gas was cut 100× to 15 gwei after the Mar 25 2026 hardfork — the burn base is tiny and unquantifiable from public sources. Buy #3 (Foundation buy) is 0. Buy #4 (new long-term lock) is 0 for M itself; new meme-token launches route 5% of their initial supply into a 1,000-day reserve vault, but that locks the new tokens, not M.
Foundation and overhang
The overhang stack is the largest part of this token's risk profile. Four buckets are tracked, all without disclosed schedules: the Foundation allocation (~1.5B M), the Core Contributors allocation (~1.3B M), the Investors allocation (~1.2B M), and the Meme Treasury (~200M M) plus a Viral Grants Reserve that accrues 10% of every epoch's rewards. Together that is roughly 4B M — three times the current circulating count — with no published release calendar. Each bucket is walked bi-weekly; if any balance falls between refreshes, the outflow enters Sell #3 at the next refresh.
The reclassification episode is also a useful reminder of what circulating-supply numbers are and are not. Independent free-float analyses put MemeCore's genuinely tradeable supply near ~230M M — a fraction of even the corrected 1.31B headline count — because large staked and reserve balances sit between "technically transferable" and "actually trading." The framework uses the standard circulating denominator so its percentages stay comparable across the catalog, but readers should know the effective float is thinner, which amplifies both the emission's and any future reserve release's market impact.
How M compares to other uncapped-emission L1s
Mechanically, M behaves like a continuous-emission Layer 1 in its mining years — closer to a young proof-of-work chain than to its meme-token branding. Its ~2.5% per 90 days sits near Kaspa's pace and well above mature PoS chains like Cosmos Hub (~2.9% annualised band paid to stakers) when normalised. The hard 10B cap puts a ceiling on the story — unlike ATOM's uncapped mint — but the cap is distant: roughly half the max remains to be mined.
The structural difference from fair-launch chains is the reserve stack. Litecoin or Kaspa carry zero team-controlled overhang; M carries ~4B in undisclosed-schedule allocations on top of its block-reward emission. The emission is predictable; the reserves are not. That combination — coded mint plus opaque overhang — is what keeps this page's sell-side risk concentrated in the watch list rather than the ledger.
What to watch in the next 90 days
Four things move the framework reading. First, any disclosure of vesting timelines for the Foundation, Core Contributor or Investor buckets — a published schedule would move Sell #2 from opacity to a quantified row immediately. Second, any observed outflow from the reserve buckets — it enters Sell #3 at the next refresh. Third, a burn-rate disclosure — a quantified gas-burn fraction would activate Buy #2. Fourth, the upstream circulating count — this window's 27-point monitor gap came from a ~434M reclassification, and further re-tags would re-widen the chip.
Summary
M is the native asset of a meme-economy Layer 1 minting 30 M per block toward a 10B max — about 33M per 90 days, a +2.52% net framework reading with no quantifiable offsetting flow. The larger story is what is not scheduled: roughly 4B M across Foundation, contributor, investor and treasury buckets with no disclosed vesting, three times the circulating count. The emission is coded and predictable; the overhang is opaque and dominant. Until the project publishes schedules, the framework reads the mint and watches the reserves.
