    0G Labs (0G) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule

    The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the 0G Labs (0G) token release schedule, showing when and how tokens enter circulation across investor, team, treasury, and community allocations. Understanding these tokenomics dynamics is critical for evaluating potential supply pressure, inflation impact, and market liquidity over time — key factors that can influence 0G price performance.

    Each color segment in the chart corresponds to a specific allocation group described in the Allocations section below. Underlying assumptions and data models used to reconstruct this schedule are explained in detail under Assumptions, while broader utility insights and token use cases are covered in Tokenomics & Utility.

    Tokenomics & Utility

    Supply and allocation at TGE

    0G’s materials outline a 1,000,000,000 (1B) total token supply at TGE, with an initial allocation focused on community and growth:

    • Community & Ecosystem Growth: 56%
      • Ecosystem: 28%
      • AI Alignment Node: 15%
      • Community Rewards: 13%
    • Core Team, Contributors, and Advisors: 22%
    • Backers: 22%

    Allocations may change, but the stated design favors long‑term ecosystem participation. (0g.ai)

    Unlocks and vesting

    Team and backer allocations include a 12‑month lockup after TGE, then vest over 36 months (fully unlocking at 48 months). The project states that 21.32% of total supply unlocks at TGE from community‑related buckets (AI Alignment Nodes, Ecosystem Growth, Community Rewards), while the remainder vests over time to support sustainable growth. (0g.ai)

    Utility in the network

    • Gas and fees: The 0G token is used to pay for transactions and smart‑contract execution on the 0G Labs blockchain. EVM compatibility means DeFi protocols can adopt it using the WrappedOGBase precompile for ERC‑20 style flows. (docs.0g.ai)
    • Staking and validation: Validators stake to help secure consensus and collect rewards and fees. Shared staking models are described for securing multiple networks. (docs.0g.ai)
    • AI Alignment Nodes: 15% of supply is reserved for AI Alignment Node rewards across the program. Documentation notes 175,500 node licenses, with a minimum of 854.7 tokens per license scheduled over time and claim mechanics tied to community votes. KYC is required to claim. (0g.ai)
    • Ecosystem incentives: Grants, campaigns, and rewards are used to bootstrap builders and users across DeFi, NFTs, and gaming. The foundation also announced an $88.88M Ecosystem Program to accelerate AI‑native apps toward mainnet. (0g.ai)

    Assumptions

    • TGE date set to 2025-09-22.

      Multiple official exchange listings (KuCoin/MEXC) and 0G’s Monthly Tech Update confirm trading/TGE around September 22, 2025.

    • Community-at-TGE equals 21.32% of total supply; split between Ecosystem Growth and Community Rewards after reserving AI Node’s 10% immediate.

      Official blog states 38% of Community unlocks at TGE (~21.32% of total supply). Precise per-suballocation split not provided; we proportionally allocate remaining TGE between Ecosystem and Community Rewards.

    • AI Alignment Node milestone vesting (23%) modeled as linear over 12 months.

      Actual mechanics are milestone-based with early-withdrawal penalties; for monthly charting, linearization is an accepted approximation. Total tokens remain exact.

    • No separate PoS validator inflation allocation modeled.

      Official materials confirm validators earn rewards, but no authoritative emission rate or inflation schedule with token amounts is published. Any validator/DA rewards appear funded via program allocations and/or fees; adding an issuance allocation without exact token amounts would violate the requirement for quantified schedules.

    Portion of Community allocation that unlocks at TGE. Set to ensure total Community-at-TGE equals 21.32% of total supply after accounting for AI Alignment Node immediate unlock. Source states 38% of Community unlocks at TGE; precise split across suballocations not given, so remaining TGE share is proportionally assigned between Ecosystem Growth and Community Rewards.
    Linear vesting: Sep 22, 2025 - Sep 22, 2028 (monthly)
    Remaining Ecosystem Growth allocation vests linearly over 36 months to support grants/programs. The blog specifies Community remainder vests over 24–36 months; we choose 36 months for modeling.
    AI Alignment Node 15.00%

    Initial penalty-free unlock of 10% at TGE for node license holders. There are 175,500 node licenses; total allocation equals 150M 0G (15% of supply).
    Linear vesting: Sep 22, 2025 - Sep 22, 2026 (monthly)
    Milestone vesting portion (23%) modeled as linear over 12 months for charting. In reality, claimable with decreasing penalties at milestones: TGE (60% fee on this portion), 90d (50%), 180d (35%), 270d (20%), 365d (0%).
    Linear vesting: Sep 22, 2025 - Sep 22, 2028 (monthly)
