Unlock Schedule
Blast (BLAST) 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
BLAST has a stated total supply of 100 billion tokens. The project’s published allocation divides that supply among four groups:
- Community: 50%, for incentives benefiting users and builders.
- Core contributors: about 25.5%.
- Investors: about 16.5%.
- Blast Foundation: 8%, reserved for infrastructure and ecosystem development. (docs.blast.io)
These allocations follow different release schedules. The community allocation unlocks over three years from the token launch, with distributions set by the foundation. Contributor and investor allocations have four-year schedules: 25% unlocks after the first year, followed by monthly releases over the next three years. The foundation allocation unlocks over four years. This schedule explains how tokens become available over time, apart from any decision about how to use them. (docs.blast.io)
What holders can do
BLAST holders can take part in the project’s governance process. The foundation’s bylaws describe proposals covering matters such as USDB backing, ETH staking providers, yield fees, and gas fee settings. Holders may vote on proposals that pass the required review steps. The bylaws also give the foundation a role in deciding how approved proposals are put into effect. (docs.blast.io)
BLAST also serves as an incentive token. Blast Mobile’s Earn app distributes BLAST rewards to users who deposit USDB. Holding BLAST within that app can increase the reward multiplier applied to a USDB deposit. These app-based rewards are distinct from the native yield associated with holding eligible ETH or USDB on the network. (docs.blast.io)
Assumptions
Blast’s official 100-billion-token allocation has published unlock schedules for community tokens, contributors, investors and the Foundation, extending to June 2028. Its community budget includes Phase 1 airdrops and a 10-billion-token Phase 2 rewards budget; the Foundation announced a combined 5-billion-token Phase 2 airdrop on January 23, 2025. Recipient-level Phase 1 vesting, Blur-community distributions and later liquid BLAST incentives lack quantified payment schedules. The chart can show the published unlocks and the dated Phase 2 airdrop, with modeled monthly contributor and investor installments clearly labeled as estimates; it cannot treat those unlocks as proof that recipients received every token.
- Phase 1 Blast Points airdrop: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Phase 1 Blast Gold airdrop: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Blur Foundation community airdrops: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Phase 2 rewards: The original schedule was changed and the new timing is not yet published.
- Blast Mobile liquid BLAST incentives and grants: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
