Unlock Schedule
Hemi (HEMI) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Hemi (HEMI) 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 HEMI 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
Hemi tokenomics are designed to broaden participation and align long‑term incentives. At launch, the HEMI token has a fixed total supply of 10 billion. The allocation is structured as follows:
- 32% for the community and ecosystem
- 28% for investors and strategic partners
- 25% for the team and core contributors
- 15% for the Hemispheres Foundation (prnewswire.com)
The HEMI token’s utility spans:
- Fees and discounts for on‑chain activity
- Incentives for roles that secure and publish network data (such as PoP miners, sequencers, publishers, and challengers)
- Governance of protocol parameters and ecosystem programs
- Access to network programs like validator participation and future converged staking designs noted by the team during “Midweek with Max” community briefings (hemi.xyz)
As network usage grows, many observers follow HEMI price over time. Typical drivers include dApp adoption, liquidity growth, emissions schedules, and new partner integrations. While Hemi tokenomics emphasize long‑term sustainability, the market ultimately prices supply and demand as new use cases come online. (prnewswire.com)
Assumptions
- Genesis/TGE date set to 2025-08-27.
Press release announcing launch and Binance listing around this date; exact on-chain TGE timestamp not specified publicly.
- Community & Ecosystem remainder modeled as 36-month linear vest.
Official materials state sub-allocations range from immediate to 36 months; used monthly linear remainder after known airdrop.
- Hemispheres Foundation modeled as 50-month linear unlock.
News citing official tokenomics notes unlock cycles up to 50 months; foundation cadence not numerically specified; used 50 months for monthly modeling.
- Investors and Team modeled with 12-month cliff + 24-month linear.
Explicit in research detail referencing the project’s tokenomics; no contrary official schedule published; start of linear set 12 months post-TGE.
- Protocol emissions modeled for 5 years with rates 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3% of start-of-year supply.
Official range is 3–7% annual; exact year-by-year schedule not fixed. Modeled decreasing path within the stated range for client-side monthly charting.
- Total supply set to null (uncapped).
Initial supply is 10B, but ongoing annual emissions make supply inflationary/uncapped; charts will reflect modeled horizons.
- Binance HODLer Airdrops (100M HEMI) counted under Community & Ecosystem as a TGE-month cliff.
Binance Academy states 100M HEMI (1% of total) allocated to HODLer Airdrops; appropriate category is Community & Ecosystem.
