Unlock Schedule
Decentraland (MANA) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
As of October 16, 2026, 2.66 billion MANA have been released. The remaining 148.59 million MANA, 74.32 million of them estimated, are worth about $13.33 million at today's price (7.60% of the market cap). Of these, 42.54 million MANA release over the next 12 months, from DAO's 222 million MANA vesting fund — subset of community allocation and Foundation's 222 million MANA vesting fund — subset of retained allocation. Today's release is 121,544 MANA (60,772 of them estimated) from DAO's 222 million MANA vesting fund — subset of community allocation and Foundation's 222 million MANA vesting fund — subset of retained allocation. MANA is fully unlocked on February 20, 2030; after that date the schedule has no further dated releases.
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
What MANA does
MANA is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. Its central roles are paying for digital goods and giving holders voting power. On Decentraland’s Marketplace, people can list and buy LAND, Estates, NAMEs, Wearables, and Emotes. Creators also use MANA in parts of the publishing process, while Marketplace fees help fund DAO activities. The original design used MANA burns when new LAND was claimed during the early land distribution. (decentraland.org)
The token was distributed through several allocations, including the public distribution and portions set aside for the team, community, and project development. The DAO holds MANA to support community-approved work. Its control has clear limits: the DAO can make decisions about assets and contracts under its authority, but it does not own the MANA smart contract or have the power to change the token’s supply. (decentraland.org)
Some Marketplace activity takes place on Polygon, a network used for many Decentraland Wearables and Emotes. Buyers may therefore see a choice between MANA on Ethereum and MANA on Polygon, depending on the asset they want. The Marketplace explains which version is used for a purchase, and Decentraland provides a way to move MANA between the two networks. This matters because a LAND purchase and a wearable purchase can follow different transaction paths. (docs.decentraland.org)

Values at $0.090 per MANA (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
MANA's reported initial distribution was created around its August 2017 sale across buyer, community, team and retained allocations. Within those already-created tokens, the DAO and Foundation each have a documented 222 million MANA ten-year vesting fund; incentive spending, grants and an operational budget lack a complete payment calendar. The chart shows estimated month-level initial issuance and the two vesting curves, not the undated treasury payments or quarterly spending ceiling. Historical burns explain the lower current total supply, but the cumulative burn figure here is inferred from reported initial and current totals rather than verified by a complete burn-event count.
- Community and partner incentives — approximately 20% of initial supply: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- Team, early contributors and advisors — approximately 20% of initial supply: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Decentraland-retained allocation — approximately 20% of initial supply: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- DAO Grants Program — 3,850,000 MANA equivalent quarterly ceiling: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- DCL Regenesis Labs 18-month operational budget: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
