Token Unlocks
Token Unlocks: Reading a Vesting Calendar
Last updated 27 August 2026
An unlock is a scheduled increase in circulating supply. What matters is not only the headline value but the share of circulating supply released and which allocation it belongs to.
Key points
- Allocation categories: team, investors, advisors, ecosystem, treasury, community and other.
- Percentage of circulating supply is usually more informative than the dollar value.
- Cliff unlocks release in a single event; linear vesting spreads release over time.
- Announced schedules can change; always check the source and date.
Data and sources
- Unlock schedules come from a configured unlock-data provider and are requested server-side.
- Without a configured provider, the calendar reports that unlock data is unavailable rather than inventing events.
Methodology
Events are displayed exactly as the provider reports them, with source and retrieval time attached.
Countdowns are computed from the provider's unlock timestamp.
Frequently asked questions
- Does an unlock always push the price down?
- No. Unlocks change supply mechanics; market outcomes depend on many other factors and cannot be predicted here.
