What Are Unlocks and Why Do They Matter?

Token unlocks are scheduled releases of previously locked tokens—think allocations for team members, early investors, or ecosystem programs. Unlocks can boost circulating supply and are closely watched by traders and whales tracking emission and vesting schedules.

How to Track Unlock Schedules

Unlock amounts and dates get posted in emission calendars, but project teams can update these schedules at any time. For the real story, check official channels for each token and cross-reference with aggregator calendars to get a clear picture of lockup structures and distribution timelines.
