Humanity Protocol (H) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
As of October 17, 2026, 4.04 billion of the 10 billion H (40.39%) have been released. The remaining 5.96 billion H, all estimated, are worth about $342 million at today's price (281.67% of the market cap). Of these, 3.05 billion H release over the next 12 months, mostly from Early Contributors (Team) — 19% of maximum supply and Investors — 10% of maximum supply. Today's release is an estimated 8.75 million H from Early Contributors (Team) — 19% of maximum supply, Ecosystem Fund — 24% of maximum supply, Foundation Operations Treasury — 12% of maximum supply, Human Institute Strategic Reserves — 5% of maximum supply, Identity Verification Rewards — 18% of maximum supply and Investors — 10% of maximum supply. H is fully unlocked in June 2029; after that date the schedule has no further dated releases.
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
H’s supply and distribution
H is an ERC-20 token with a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens. Humanity’s published allocation assigns 24% to an ecosystem fund, 19% to early contributors, 18% to identity-verification rewards, 12% to community incentives, 12% to the foundation operations treasury, 10% to investors, and 5% to Human Institute strategic reserves. The categories serve different purposes, from funding development to rewarding people who help run verification services. (humanity.org)
Early-contributor and investor allocations have published lockups and vesting periods, so those tokens enter circulation over time. The token plan also sets out schedules for other categories. These schedules shape when tokens become available to the people and organizations assigned to each pool. (humanity.org)
Paying for activity and rewarding participation
H is designed to support network fees, identity checks, credential validation, and governance. The whitepaper describes rewards for zkProofer operators and a staking model for Identity Validators, who would commit H to take part in issuing credentials. It also describes a way for holders to delegate tokens to validators. Community incentives include distributions tied to onboarding and other forms of participation. In this model, token activity is connected to people building, using, and operating identity services. (docs.humanity.org)

Values at $0.057 per H (October 17, 2026), today's price, not a forecast. Releases continue after September 2027. Estimated amounts are modeled from the schedule's rules rather than dated by a source; see the Assumptions below. Releases without dates are listed under Allocations.
Assumptions
Humanity publishes seven H allocation budgets totaling a capped 10 billion tokens, with some available at the June 2025 launch and the rest subject to stated cliffs and vesting durations. The chart shows availability from lockup, using estimated uniform progress where the sources give a duration but no payment cadence. Actual Fairdrop claims, spending from the unlocked pools and payment of the announced 20 million H Kaito award remain unquantified or undated. The June 2026 replacement-token migration is not counted as a second release of the supply.
- First Humanity Fairdrop — unquantified claims from the community pool: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Kaito Stakers and Humanity Yappers Rewards — 0.2% of maximum supply: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
