CARV (CARV)
Unlock Schedule
CARV (CARV) 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
CARV’s published token plan sets the total supply at one billion tokens, with allocations becoming accessible over four years from the token generation event. Half of the supply is assigned to nodes and the community. The remaining allocations are 19.459% for the founding team and advisers, 9.246% for early investors, 8.295% for private fundraising, 9% for the ecosystem and treasury, and 4% for liquidity. The schedule spreads access to tokens among these groups over time rather than making every allocation available at once. (docs.carv.io)
How the token is used
CARV’s documentation describes uses for the token in governance, access to services, ecosystem payments, and incentives for data-related activity. It also describes CARV as a token for network computing costs and as a pairing asset for AI-agent tokens on its SVM Chain. These uses give holders and builders different ways to take part in the same ecosystem. (docs.carv.io)
Users can stake CARV through a voting-escrow system called veCARV. In simple terms, staking means committing tokens for a set period. The related veCARV balance is used for activities such as voting and delegation; it changes as the lock period runs down. Node incentives are also part of this system. veCARV is non-transferable, so it serves a different purpose from ordinary CARV held in a wallet. (docs.carv.io)
Assumptions
All one billion original CARV tokens were minted on July 18, 2024; later airdrops, vesting and rewards concern when those existing tokens become accessible or are distributed. The chart dates announced airdrop openings and shows estimated investor, team and liquidity unlocks, but the modeled monthly payments are not verified contract releases. Verifier rewards first arrive as nontransferable veCARV, while CARV redemptions, treasury spending and several campaign payments still lack usable release amounts or dates. The genesis mint reconciles gross creation to one billion tokens, but net total supply and cumulative burns on October 1, 2026 could not be independently established.
