Unlock Schedule
Conflux (CFX) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
As of October 16, 2026, 5.23 billion CFX have been released. The schedule is ongoing, with no final release date.
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
How CFX enters and moves through the network
Conflux began with 5 billion CFX created for its initial allocation. The plan assigned 40% to an ecosystem fund, 36% to the founding team and related contributors, 12% to private investors, 8% to a community fund, and 4% to foundation holdings. Tokens from those groups followed release schedules rather than all becoming available at once. (doc.confluxnetwork.org)
The supply can grow after launch. New CFX is issued as rewards for proof-of-work mining and proof-of-stake participation. Conflux also uses token-burning mechanisms, which permanently remove some CFX from circulation. The network’s economic settings can change through governance, so a fixed reward rate does not describe the token for all time. CFX has no maximum supply cap. (doc.confluxnetwork.org)
CFX has several jobs. Users spend it on transaction fees and smart-contract activity. In Core Space, using blockchain storage can require storage collateral: CFX set aside while data occupies network space and returned when that storage is released under the protocol’s rules. Miners receive block and fee rewards, while eligible proof-of-stake participants receive rewards tied to staking. Holders can also take part in governance over certain network settings. (doc.confluxnetwork.org)
Fee sponsorship changes the experience for some applications. A developer can fund fees or storage costs for a supported contract, allowing a new user to interact with it without first obtaining CFX for those particular costs. The application still uses network resources; the sponsor pays on the user’s behalf. (doc.confluxnetwork.org)
Assumptions
Conflux minted five billion CFX at launch and assigned them to investors, the Foundation, the team, and community and ecosystem funds. The chart can show documented genesis unlocks and labeled monthly estimates, alongside a published estimate for one period of mining rewards; named liquidity-program transfers are existing fund tokens, not new issuance. Investor and team amendments, actual fund spending, and much historical mining and staking issuance cannot be quantified reliably from the dated sources found. CFX has no supply cap, and mining, staking and storage-related rewards remain open-ended.
- Private Equity Investors: The original schedule was changed and the new timing is not yet published.
- Foundation Holdings: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Genesis Team: The original schedule was changed and the new timing is not yet published.
- Ecosystem Fund: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- eSpace Liquidity Incentive Program: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- Swappi Liquidity Support: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
- PoW Block Rewards: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
- PoW Block Rewards: Emission continues with no published future rate or end date.
- Staking and PoS Validator Rewards: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
- Storage Collateral Rewards: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
