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.
