How Does a ‘Dead Coin’ Differ from a Failed Project with Strong Vesting?

A dead coin is one that has ceased development, trading, or community activity, often due to a scam or total loss of market interest. A failed project with strong vesting might still have an active team and code, but it failed to achieve its goals due to technical or market reasons.

Strong vesting only mitigates the scam risk, not the risk of a non-viable business model.
