Token Unlock Calendar
What it shows
A calendar of scheduled one-off token unlocks (cliff type) for the coins we track: these are the days when a predetermined batch from the team, investor or ecosystem allocation enters circulation. Each event shows its date, the number of tokens, their share of circulating supply, and a USD value computed at our price as of the update. Continuous linear emissions are not listed, because they are an even stream rather than a dated event.
How to read it
Read the calendar as a list of dates worth noting, not as an announcement of declines. Pay attention above all to the share of supply and the share of daily volume: a $30M batch against $500M of daily turnover dissolves without a trace, while the same amount against $20M is an entirely different situation. An unlock does not mean the tokens hit exchanges immediately: some stay with the team, some go to staking or a treasury. Values are computed at the price as of the update, so with a volatile market they are approximate. We only show coins we hold in our database, so this is not a complete calendar of the whole market. This is not investment advice.
Parameters
- Next 7 days
- The combined value of unlocks falling in the coming week and how many there are. If we have no price for a coin, its value is left out of the total; we never substitute a zero.
- Large unlocks
- How many events are flagged as large, which means those whose value exceeds a set share of that coin's daily trading volume. With no volume in the data, an event is not flagged at all.
- Share of circulating supply
- What percentage of the coins already in circulation this batch represents. It is a fairer measure of scale than the raw token count, as 10M tokens means one thing against a 50M supply and quite another against 50 billion.
- Share of daily volume
- The unlock value divided by the coin's daily trading volume. The higher the share, the harder such a batch is for the market to absorb if it hits the order book; but that is a condition, not a prediction.
Example
In 5 days, an unlock of 44M tokens of one coin: 1.8% of circulating supply, worth $62M, which equals 140% of its daily volume. The event is flagged as large. Read it like this: a batch worth more than a whole typical trading day for that coin may reach the market, so the date is worth watching. Another event the same week, worth $3M at 0.2% of supply, is in practice negligible.
