Unlock Schedule
Arkham (ARKM) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Arkham (ARKM) 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 ARKM 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
Fixed supply and allocations
ARKM has a fixed initial supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens. The initial allocation is:
- Ecosystem Incentives & Grants: 37.3%
- Core Contributors: 20.0%
- Investors: 17.5%
- Foundation Treasury: 17.2%
- Binance Launchpad: 5.0%
- Advisors: 3.0% (codex.arkm.com)
Unlocking follows a long‑term schedule: investor, core contributor, and advisor tokens were locked for one year after listing, then unlock linearly over three years; the ecosystem fund unlocks over five years; the foundation treasury unlocks over seven years. The team states there are no planned emissions beyond the initial supply. (codex.arkm.com)
Utility on the platform
- Marketplace currency: ARKM is the medium of exchange for bounties and auctions on the Intel Exchange—paying for address labels, hack attribution, curated data feeds, and other crypto intelligence. (codex.arkm.com)
- Discounts and rewards: On the Arkham Exchange, users can get discounts on trading fees when they pay in ARKM and based on ARKM balances and activity. Arkham has run points programs where points convert to ARKM after program windows. Separately, ARKM is used for discounts on Pro features like the Arkham API and other platform products, with pay‑in‑ARKM and holding‑based discounts that can stack. (info.arkm.com)
- Governance: ARKM holders propose and vote on AIPs that can adjust marketplace fees, smart contracts, and treasury deployments. (codex.arkhamintelligence.com)
Marketplace fees and flows
At marketplace launch, makers faced 2.5% fees and takers 5%. Bounty claims include a 15‑day unlock timer after approval, with an optional early withdrawal fee to accelerate access. These mechanisms are designed to keep intel quality high and align incentives among buyers, sellers, and verifiers. (codex.arkhamintelligence.com)
Assumptions
- Listing date used as genesis for vesting schedules.
Official docs define locks relative to listing; Binance and media confirm ARKM listing on 2023-07-18.
- Ecosystem sub-allocations vest linearly over 5 years starting at listing.
Tokenomics page states the ecosystem fund unlocks over 5 years but does not differentiate sub-pools; modeled uniformly for monthly granularity.
- Community airdrop modeled as a cliff of approximately 27.9M ARKM on 2023-07-18.
No exact figure on official docs; Nansen-based reporting (Benzinga) observed ~27.9M ARKM claimed by ~59.7k addresses around listing.
- Investor, Core Contributor, and Advisor unlocks begin exactly one year after listing and vest linearly for 36 months.
Directly stated in Arkham Codex Tokenomics.
- No inflationary issuance beyond the 1,000,000,000 initial supply.
Tokenomics explicitly states there are no planned emissions and ARKM is not designed to be inflationary.
