Unlock Schedule
Illuvium (ILV) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
As of October 16, 2026, 8.29 million of the 10 million ILV (82.87%) 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.
Tokenomics & Utility
What ILV does
Illuvium’s published token terms set a maximum supply of 10 million ILV. The token’s central roles are governance and staking. Holding ILV provides membership in the DAO’s governance structure; participation in voting follows the project’s governance rules. Staking means placing tokens in a supported contract for a chosen period. It connects eligible holders to the project’s reward arrangements. (portal.illuvium.io)
Staking V3 runs on Base and offers an ILV vault and an ILV/ETH liquidity-provider vault. It combines two types of rewards: ILV linked to revenue distribution and Shards, which are off-chain loyalty points used in a seasonal system. Revenue distribution is subject to the project’s funding and distribution rules, including the Safety Pool. Shards have a different purpose from ILV: they track participation within the staking program. (portal.illuvium.io)
ILV also appears in some game reward programs. For instance, Illuvium has described ILV rewards for eligible Arena competitors and Beyond collectors. Day-to-day game spending, however, often centers on Fuel, a separate in-game resource. The distinction is useful: ILV links holders to governance and certain rewards, while Fuel supports purchases and actions within the games. Earlier staking arrangements also offered sILV2 for certain uses; Illuvium’s current V3 description instead emphasizes ILV revenue distribution and Shards. (portal.illuvium.io)
Assumptions
Illuvium documents a seven-million-ILV initial mint and a separate three-million-ILV yield-farming budget under its ten-million maximum. The Balancer allocation opened at launch, while the chart estimates investor and team unlocks after their approved delay. A net-supply series shows the reported growth through October 2026 and subsequent declines, but its monthly values are interpolations, its 2022 point is approximate, and cumulative ILV burns could not be verified. Treasury spending, player prizes, airdrop claims and any remaining reward issuance do not have a complete quantified payment schedule.
- DAO Treasury: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- In-Game and Tournament Rewards: The original schedule was changed and the new timing is not yet published.
- Illuvium PvP Tournament Fund: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Beyond Wave 3 Leaderboard Base Prize Pool: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Beyond Wave 5 Base Reward Pool: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Loyalty Airdrop and Gameplay Drops: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Protocol Yield-Farming Rewards: Emission continues with no published future rate or end date.
- Earned ILV Reward Vesting: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Vault Revenue Distributions: 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: 1,309,330.253 tokens of its parts have no release date yet. The chart shows them as TBD from today, not as unlocked.
Net total supply: these totals already subtract burned tokens, so the chart shows the supply that exists, not every token created. Where the supply fell after burns, the chart does not fall with it: it rises only to the later, lower total
