Unlock Schedule
APENFT (NFT) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
As of October 16, 2026, 999990 billion of the 999990 billion NFT (100.00%) have been released. No further releases are scheduled; the schedule was fully unlocked in December 2022.
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 original allocation
The NFT token’s stated total supply is 999,990,000,000,000 units. Its original white paper set out six allocation categories: 30% for artist partners, 20% for acquiring NFT works, 19% for DeFi airdrops and mining, 19% for the team, 10% for partnerships, and 2% for the initial exchange listing. These figures describe the original distribution plan, which placed art-related work and community incentives at the center of the economic model. (foundation.ainft.com)
The token was designed first for governance. The early plan described holder votes on matters such as collections, possible artwork acquisitions, and exhibitions. The foundation also describes access to project activities and NFT airdrops among holder benefits. A later EU disclosure prepared for Kraken describes uses in certain marketplace transactions or fees, alongside rewards connected with ecosystem programs. The exact role of a token in any activity depends on that activity’s rules. (foundation.ainft.com)
It is helpful to read “art-related governance” as a way to take part in project decisions. The EU disclosure describes token-holder benefits as participation rights rather than a claim to particular works in the foundation’s collection. Rights tied to a specific artwork are a separate matter, shaped by that item’s terms and ownership arrangements. (assets-cms.kraken.com)
Assumptions
The audited contract creates the fixed supply at genesis; separately, the white paper divides those tokens among artists, DeFi incentives, the team, exchange listing, artwork purchases and partnerships. HTX documents the May 2021 listing amounts, and APENFT reports several actual monthly holder-airdrop amounts before ending that program after December 2022. Most other allocation transfers lack dated amounts, while a later creator-reward program has no published token budget or payment schedule. The chart can show the documented listing and airdrop rounds, but the genesis mint must remain separate from those transfers and missing rounds must not be filled with guessed monthly payments.
- Artist partners (30%): The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- DeFi airdrop and mining (19%): The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- TRON-token-holder airdrop (5%; subset of DeFi allocation): The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- NFT team (19%): The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- NFT works purchase (20%): The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Partnerships (10%): The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- DLive–AINFT Streamer Token Incentive Program, Season 7: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
