The Model Graveyard

Every model dies. Some we watched go — priced to the last token. Most were gone before TokenScale existed. Here they all rest.

How to read this wall. Solid, coloured stones are models TokenScale tracked on the live board — dates and prices are from our own record. Faded, dashed stones died before we launched (18 May 2026); their prices are historical figures gathered from public sources and were never verified by TokenScale. Treat the grey stones as an honest sketch, not our measurement.
