Flare (FLR)
Unlock Schedule
Flare (FLR) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
As of October 17, 2026, 87.44 billion FLR 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.

What FLR does
FLR has several connected jobs. It pays for transactions, can be staked with validators, and can support Flare’s data systems. Holders can also wrap it into WFLR, a one-to-one form used in smart contracts. WFLR can be delegated to a data provider for FTSO participation and used in governance votes. Delegation assigns voting weight to a provider without transferring ownership of the wrapped tokens. (dev.flare.network)
The network created 100 billion FLR at genesis and set aside portions for public distribution, the foundation, backers, and ecosystem incentives. The public distribution began with the January 2023 release. It continued through monthly FlareDrops for eligible holders of wrapped FLR, ending on January 30, 2026. FTSO delegation and staking rewards continue as separate forms of network participation. (dev.flare.network)
FLR’s economic rules have also changed through governance. An April 2026 proposal reduced the annual inflation rate from 5% to 3% and lowered its annual cap from five billion to three billion FLR. Transaction fees are burned. The same proposal established a framework called FIRE to direct certain protocol revenues toward supply reduction and ecosystem development. These rules link the token’s incentives more closely to use of Flare’s services. (proposals.flare.network)
Assumptions
Flare created 100 billion FLR at genesis, opened an initial public airdrop, and completed 36 FlareDrops; the chart dates those public releases, using rounded estimates for individual FlareDrops. Foundation, partner, team, advisor and backer budgets also exist, but most lack quantified payment schedules; a February 2024 early-backer payment is documented. The incentive pool funds DeFi and FAssets programs whose actual payouts depend on participation and decisions. PoS rewards continue to mint FLR under changing inflation rules, so their unquantified history and open-ended future are disclosed rather than plotted as invented monthly amounts.
- Monthly FlareDrops: Timing not yet established.
- Flare Foundation: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Cross-chain incentive pool: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- FIP.09 DeFi emissions program: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- FAssets Incentive Program: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Flare Labs: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Flare VC Fund: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- Founding team: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Rest of team: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Future team: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Advisors: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Backers: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Early backers with extended vesting: The original schedule was changed and the new timing is not yet published.
- PoS validator, oracle and delegation inflation rewards: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
- PoS validator, oracle and delegation inflation rewards: Emission continues with no published future rate or end date.
- FIRE recycled protocol revenue: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
