Defactor (FACTR) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Defactor (FACTR) token release schedule, showing when and how tokens enter circulation across investor, team, treasury, and community allocations. Understanding these tokenomics dynamics is critical for evaluating potential supply pressure, inflation impact, and market liquidity over time — key factors that can influence FACTR price performance.
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
Historically, the FACTR token carried three core roles: platform access, governance, and incentives. In late 2024 and 2025, the team clarified mechanics and then migrated to REAL with a sharpened model:
- Supply and structure: FACTR launched with a 300 million max supply. With the migration, REAL maintained a capped design and introduced milestone burns and structured buybacks that link token scarcity to real usage. The team reported earlier buybacks of millions of tokens and post‑migration burn events, reinforcing the “adoption drives scarcity” thesis. (defactor.com)
- Chain and standard: the live contract is ERC‑20 on Base, reflecting Defactor’s focus on low‑cost, Ethereum‑secured settlements and integrations with DeFi on that network. Historical footprints on Polygon remain visible in explorers and listings due to the project’s multichain evolution. (coingecko.com)
- Governance and staking: token holders can stake during campaign periods, vote on proposals, and participate in ecosystem incentives via the Engage app layer and APIs. These features align token holder interests with toolkit adoption and client activity. (defactor.com)
From an educational perspective, the FACTR price (now REAL) over time is influenced by tool adoption, client transactions, staking demand, and buyback/burn cadence rather than emissions alone. Because the model reduces circulating supply as platform activity grows, token‑economy feedback loops are designed to reflect usage more directly than a purely inflationary schedule. (defactor.com)
Assumptions
- FACTR migrated 1:1 to $REAL in 2025; vesting allocations and schedules remain structurally the same.
Official migration announcement; model keeps original allocation totals for release mechanics while noting that subsequent buybacks/burns reduce circulating supply.
- Association and Ecosystem & Partnerships start vesting in 2023-06 after a ~19-month cliff.
DropsTab shows 41-month linear windows within a 60‑month timeline from TGE; start date back‑calculated.
- Early Investors unlock linearly over 9 months starting 2022-03-01 after a ~3‑month cliff.
DropsTab specifies ‘Cliff + 9 Months Linear’; month markers (e.g., month 13 ≈ 2022-11) align with this modeling.
- IDO rounds distribute 25% at TGE and 75% over 3 monthly tranches.
IDO launchpad/ICODrops distribution details specify 4 unlocks of 25% each starting at TGE.
- Staking rewards are paid from a fixed pool (75M) with linear vesting through late 2026, not from perpetual inflation.
Defactor materials emphasize capped supply and staking incentives; DropsTab shows a 59‑month linear schedule.
- Buybacks/burns impact circulating/maximum effective supply but are not modeled as unlocks since they remove tokens rather than release them.
Token supply release charts track inflows to circulation; buybacks are deflationary and out of scope for unlock inflows.
