Anoma (XAN) 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
Supply and distribution
XAN launched as an Ethereum ERC-20 token with an initial supply of 10 billion. The Foundation’s published genesis allocation assigns 25% to community, marketing, and liquidity; 19% to research, development, and ecosystem work; 10% to the Foundation; 31% to backers; and 15% to core contributors. It also set aside 10% of the total supply for airdrops within its community plans. (docs.anoma.foundation)
The published schedule gives Foundation, research and ecosystem, backer, and core-contributor allocations a 12-month lock-up followed by a 36-month linear release. Anoma’s September 2026 governance update says balances locked under the first governance system begin vesting on September 29, 2026. Those locked balances can still carry voting power before they finish vesting. (docs.anoma.foundation)
What XAN does
XAN can be used for payments and fees, but governance is its clearest role in the protocol today. Holders can vote on proposals or delegate their votes to another address. Under Governance V2, launched in September 2026, approved proposals can change token functions, treasury settings, and other protocol rules through an on-chain process. This also means that future decisions may change aspects of the token’s economic model. (anoma.net)
Governance includes time for review and voting before an approved change takes effect. A proposal needs participation from at least 10% of the voting supply and more votes in favor than against. A waiting period follows a successful vote. These steps give token holders a defined way to discuss and decide on changes. (anoma.net)
Assumptions
Anoma created a fixed 10 billion XAN supply, divided among five published allocations. Its community, marketing, and liquidity allocation was initially unlocked; the other four allocations have a three-year vesting schedule beginning on 29 September 2026, although their exact locked account balances were not reconciled to the published budgets. The airdrop and Intents Initiates grant pool are documented programs with release amounts or payment dates still unresolved. The chart shows the dated creation and unlocks, labels the category-level vesting amounts as estimates, and does not add those program budgets as new supply.
