Entangle (NGL) Token marked for de-listing
Unlock Schedule
Entangle (NGL) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Entangle (NGL) 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 NGL 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
Role of NGL
NGL functions as the toll token for Entangle’s “decentralized superhighway.” It is used for:
- Gas and fees on the Entangle blockchain and across its products.
- Staking and delegation to validators and transmitter agents.
- Economic bonds and access for developers using infrastructure modules. These mechanics tie NGL to network operation and security. (docs.ent-dx.com)
Supply, formats, and distribution
Entangle introduced NGL with a native coin on its chain and an ERC‑20 representation for EVM networks. Early materials outlined a maximum supply design of 1,000,000,000 NGL with distribution across ecosystem/infrastructure, community, team, and investment rounds, vesting linearly on a daily basis. Airdrops and community incentives were part of the plan. (blog.entangle.fi)
The team later published updates to the emission schedule, including extended cliffs and reduced unlock rates for certain allocations, plus a series of burns and lockups aimed at offsetting emissions and improving transparency. A “Burn to Build” program describes daily burn mechanics and long‑term vesting considerations for aligned backers. These steps were presented as measures to match or more than offset new issuance over time. (blog.entangle.fi)
In practice, holders stake or delegate NGL to validators and selected agents, and projects consuming data/messaging pay fees in NGL. This aligns user, validator, and developer incentives around reliable data delivery and cross‑chain operations. (docs.entangle.fi)
Assumptions
- TGE/genesis occurred on 2024-03-13 08:00 UTC; vesting dates are computed from this date.
Official Entangle listing announcements specify TGE timing tied to exchange listings.
- Updated cliffs/vesting durations were applied as per Entangle’s tokenomics updates.
Entangle published an emissions update and a subsequent ‘Tokenomics Execution’ table; these extend several vesting schedules and reduce Team to 9%.
- Liquidity allocation modeled as 75M available at TGE and 25M unlocking on 2025-07-23.
Project announced 25M NGL locked for 1 year on 2024-07-23; remainder ring-fenced for liquidity provisioning.
- PoS rewards modeled as a single allocation with an 86-month linear schedule (gross emissions).
Entangle extended staking rewards vesting from 45 to 86 months; emissions fund validator, delegator and agent rewards.
- Burn-to-Build program not netted against unlocks in this dataset.
The program commits to burn 126,597,388 NGL (80M over 24 months to offset long-term investor unlocks; 46,634,398 over 79 months to offset staking/block rewards). Burns are not a supply release mechanism; client may net out for circulating supply.
- Advisor TGE (2.5%) assumed unchanged under the schedule extension.
Update specified longer cliff/vesting but did not revoke the stated 2.5% TGE; modeled accordingly.
- Total supply shown as the original 1,000,000,000 design cap.
Subsequent burns (30M team burn executed; ongoing Burn-to-Build) reduce realized max supply over time. Explorer snapshots show lower live supply, but this dataset models gross allocation emissions before offsetting burns.
