Ethos (WHUF) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
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
ETHOS token design
The ETHOS token is a utility and loyalty asset for the Ethos DeFi app. Its purpose is to reward self-custody and onchain usage, not to convey governance, cash flows, or equity rights. The token supports loyalty tiers, fee discounts, “learn-and-earn” activities, liquidity incentives, and ongoing app engagement. (token.ethos.io)
Total supply is set at 5,000,000,000 ETHOS. The published allocation includes 40% for usage incentives, 25% for liquidity incentives, 15.9% for partner pools, 9.5% for core contributors, 5.4% for recovery airdrops, and 4.22% for ecosystem growth. Distribution is designed to extend over many years so that rewards scale with real user growth rather than short bursts of activity. (token.ethos.io)
Incentives and airdrops
Ethos introduced an “extended airdrop” model that aligns both past participation and future engagement. In-app actions such as activating the vault, adding recovery methods, funding the wallet, and completing swaps can earn ETHOS. A large share of supply is reserved for long-term usage incentives—think trading rewards, self-custody rebates, and partner quests—pacing token outflows to sustained community growth.

Liquidity incentives
To deepen markets for the ETHOS token, the team outlined Uniswap V3-based liquidity programs. Over a multi-year horizon, portions of supply are earmarked to reward LPs via staking contracts that recognize Uniswap’s NFT positions. This structure aligns with a decentralized trading venue and complements the app’s loyalty mechanics. (token.ethos.io)
What can influence ETHOS price over time?
While real-time data isn’t covered here, typical drivers for any utility token apply: app usage, reward cadence, partner growth, and broader market sentiment. In Ethos’s case, the quality of integrations (for example, USDC onramps and cross-chain routing) and the stickiness of the rewards program can be meaningful factors alongside the mechanics of Ethos tokenomics.

Assumptions
Ethos minted 10 million WHUF at launch on September 8, 2026 and burned 60,530.73 unawarded referral tokens before they were released. Sale tokens, awarded bonuses and treasury liquidity unlocked on October 8; early supporters, the Team and the core treasury have later cliff-and-monthly schedules. Contributor rewards, ecosystem grants and bounties have documented budgets but no quantified payment dates, while additional fee burns prevent confirmation of current total supply from the available figures. The chart can show the dated unlocks, with modeled monthly payment dates clearly marked as estimates, but not the undated distributions.
- GSR market-maker loan from treasury liquidity: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Tophash Digital market-maker loan from treasury liquidity: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Ecosystem development — 5% of original supply: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- Bounties — 5% of original supply: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Contributor rewards — 18% of original supply: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
Allocations
Parts of this allocation with their own release dates are charted as their own allocations; the chart shows the rest here.
Not yet scheduled: 2,797,886.197 tokens of its parts have no release date yet. The chart shows them as TBD from today, not as unlocked.
