Waves (WAVES) trades at $0.196882, down 23.9% over the past 30 days. Its market cap — supply times price — is $19.7M, the 797-largest in crypto. Over a year it is -84% (down), and it sits -100% from its all-time high. Total value locked on this chain is $6.5M, or 0.33x its market cap. On tradability, the book is thin, so incoming money moves the price easily. Taken together, the overall heat score is 24 (COLD). A higher number means more of the conditions for a rally are in place — it is not a price forecast.

Heat score Heat factor breakdown
24
How the overall score is built: market gate 42 (applied to everything) × geometric mean of the four factors 56 (momentum, liquidity, fundamentals and supply, multiplied together) → 24. It is not a simple average: a weak market holds the whole score down, and a single weak factor drags the rest with it.
Factor breakdown (0–100; higher means more conditions are in place)
Regime (market gate) gate
42
→ The market gate is neutral. Asset-specific factors decide this one.
Momentum
20
→ The recent price trend is down. Going against it needs a reason.
Liquidity (traded volume depth)
77
→ Volume is deep enough that a move is one you could actually participate in.
Fundamentals (TVL / market cap)
66
→ Substantial capital is locked on-chain relative to market cap — evidence of real use.
Supply lightness
100
→ Most of the supply already circulates, so unlock pressure is light.
Development activity → No public code updates in the last four weeks. Development may have stalled, or it may be happening in private repositories.
