Unlock Schedule
Aethir (ATH) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
As of October 17, 2026, 20.13 billion of the 42 billion ATH (47.93%) have been released. The remaining 7.08 billion ATH, 1.74 billion of them estimated, are worth about $40.89 million at today's price (35.30% of the market cap). Of these, 4.25 billion ATH release over the next 12 months, mostly from Team — 12.5% of maximum supply and Investors — 11.5% of maximum supply. Today's release is 14.28 million ATH (2.87 million of them estimated) from Checker Node base rewards — 10% of maximum supply, Investors — 11.5% of maximum supply and Team — 12.5% of maximum supply. ATH is fully unlocked on December 12, 2028; after that date the schedule has no further dated releases.
The chart shows gross modeled releases of every allocation: vesting unlocks, new issuance and reserve distributions, each allocation counted once. These have different meanings; a scheduled release is not evidence that tokens entered circulation or were sold. Review the coverage, sources and assumptions below.
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 distribution
ATH has a stated total supply of 42 billion tokens. The token connects several groups: customers who need computing power, providers who supply it, and participants who help run or support the network. Aethir’s documentation describes ATH as a means of paying service fees, staking, providing incentives, and taking part in governance. (docs.aethir.com)
Aethir set aside 6% of the supply for community airdrops, 15% for Checker Node rewards, 23% for edge computing providers, and 12% for enterprise computing providers. Together, those categories account for 56% of the stated supply. The distribution gives a large share of tokens to people and organizations involved in building or operating the network. (aethir.com)
Payments and incentives
Customers can use ATH to pay for computing services. Providers can earn tokens for making capacity available and carrying out work. Aethir distinguishes between incentives for completed computing tasks and incentives for capacity that is ready to serve customers. Checker rewards follow performance guidelines, while other allocations, including team and investor tokens, have vesting schedules that release tokens over time. (docs.aethir.com)
Staking adds another role. Providers stake ATH as part of participating in the computing network, and token holders can use supported staking arrangements. In the EigenLayer ATH Vault, deposited ATH helps supply staking capacity for new groups of cloud hosts; eATH serves as a receipt for the deposit. These uses tie the token’s activity to the growth and operation of Aethir’s cloud service. (docs.aethir.com)

Values at $0.006 per ATH (October 17, 2026), today's price, not a forecast. Releases continue after September 2027. Estimated amounts are modeled from the schedule's rules rather than dated by a source; see the Assumptions below. Releases without dates are listed under Allocations.
Assumptions
Aethir's 42 billion ATH were created in June 2024; later vesting and rewards release existing tokens rather than minting more. The dated allocation view covers the first airdrop claim opening, published team and investor vesting, a nominal four-year Checker base-reward plan, and a ten-week staking-pool boost. Advisor, ecosystem, performance-based compute and bonus budgets have incomplete payment dates or amounts, while the planned third airdrop was redirected to a treasury program. The chart should keep the genesis mint separate from releases and label the modeled Checker and staking displays as estimates.
- Advisors — 5% of maximum supply: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Ecosystem — 15% of maximum supply: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Aethir Ecosystem Fund grants and compute credits: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Aethir–XPLA grant track: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Aethir–XAI grant track: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Aethir–Xsolla gaming grant track: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Original Cloud Drop budget — 6% of maximum supply: The original schedule was changed and the new timing is not yet published.
- Former Season 3 allocation redirected to Digital Asset Treasury: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- Checker Node base rewards — 10% of maximum supply: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Checker Node performance bonuses — 5% of maximum supply: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Edge compute-provider rewards — 23% of maximum supply: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
- Enterprise compute-provider rewards — 12% of maximum supply: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
- ATH-AI and ATH-Gaming staking-pool rewards: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- ATH-AI and ATH-Gaming staking-pool rewards: Emission continues with no published future rate or end date.
- Checker Node NFT buyback funding: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
