Token Unlock
The scheduled release of previously locked or vested tokens into the circulating supply. Team allocations, investor portions, and ecosystem reserves are typically locked at token launch and unlock on a schedule (e.g., 10% immediately, then 2% per month for 4 years). Token unlock events can create significant selling pressure as insiders become able to sell. Resources like Token Unlocks (tokenunlocks.app) and Vesting Schedule track upcoming unlock events.
