Unlock Schedule
Alchemy Pay (ACH) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
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
ACH began as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum with an original supply of 10 billion. Alchemy Pay’s earlier allocation plan set aside tokens for payment-related rewards, enterprise partners, the team, backers, and advisers. The largest share was intended to encourage activity across its payment network. (alchemypay.org)
In 2026, the project adopted a supply framework connected to Alchemy Chain. It sets a long-term total of 15,346,246,088 ACH and provides for tokens to support validators, developers, payment activity, and other network work over time. A later community vote addressed the schedule for releasing the additional tokens. This is a change from the original 10-billion-token plan, so the date of a token document matters when reading its supply figures. (alchemypay.medium.com)
ACH has several roles. It can be used in payment-platform fee and incentive programs. On Alchemy Chain, it is the asset used to pay transaction fees. Project documents also describe roles in validator incentives and governance, which lets holders take part in certain network decisions. ACH is separate from the fiat or stablecoin a customer may use to make a purchase: its role depends on the service or network action involved. (alchemypay.org)
Assumptions
Alchemy Pay created its original 10 billion ACH in 2019 and documents monthly unlocks for transaction rewards, the team and advisors, while backer and partner timing is less precise. An additional 5,346,246,088 ACH was minted in April 2026 for Alchemy Chain; its named incentive and reserve budgets lack verified payment schedules. The chart separates those mint events from older allocation unlocks and shows a clearly provisional 10-year estimate for unlocking the newer tokens. Undated distributions are listed but not plotted as confirmed monthly releases.
- Enterprise and Consumer Transaction Rewards: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Transaction Mobility: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Enterprise Partners: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Backers: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Alchemy Chain Security and Node Incentives: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.

- Alchemy Chain Ecosystem and Developer Incentives: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Alchemy Chain Market and Promotion: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
