Chiliz (CHZ) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule

As of October 16, 2026, 10.54 billion CHZ have been released. The schedule is ongoing, with no final release date. Over the next 12 months it releases 465.71 million CHZ (all estimated) from Observed Post-Genesis Supply Growth, worth about $6.54 million at today's price (4.42% of the market cap). Today's release is an estimated 1.33 million CHZ from Observed Post-Genesis Supply Growth.

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

CHZ originally had 8,888,888,888 tokens created in 2018. That figure describes its starting supply. A Chiliz Chain upgrade called Dragon8 introduced new CHZ issuance in May 2024. Under the model described by Chiliz, the annual issuance rate starts at 8.80%, falls over time, and reaches a planned 1.88% floor. CHZ therefore has an economic model that changes supply over time. (chiliz.com)

Newly issued CHZ helps fund chain activity. Chiliz’s staking documentation assigns 65% of the relevant block rewards to validators and delegators, 25% to ecosystem and operating needs, and 10% to a community allocation. The network also burns a portion of transaction fees, removing those tokens from supply. Issuance and burning work in opposite directions: one adds tokens to support the chain, while the other removes tokens through network use. (docs.chiliz.com)

CHZ also supports governance and staking, alongside its role in paying gas fees. Separately, Chiliz has put a program in place that uses a share of Fan Token proceeds to buy back and burn CHZ. These mechanisms link the token to both the blockchain’s operation and activity in the fan-token business. They are distinct from the supply rules of individual Fan Tokens, which can vary by product.

Values at $0.014 per CHZ (October 16, 2026), today's price, not a forecast. Releases continue after September 2027. Estimated amounts are modeled from the schedule's rules rather than dated by a source; see the Assumptions below. Releases without dates are listed under Allocations.

Assumptions

Chiliz minted 8,888,888,888 CHZ in 2018, allocating it among private buyers, the team, advisors, seed investors and company reserves. Team and advisor vesting has documented durations, but the chart's even release rates are estimates; most reserve spending, Token Hunt claims and the named Greenhouse gig have no confirmed payment dates. Dragon8 introduced continuing inflation, and Pepper8 added a one-time Paribu conversion mint; the chart estimates later monthly net supply growth between the supplied dated observations without adding that mint twice. Those observations are after burns, so they cannot establish gross validator rewards or total tokens ever burned.
