Unlock Schedule
Lagrange (LA) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Lagrange (LA) 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 LA 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
Lagrange tokenomics are built on a simple loop: proof demand drives LA demand. The LA token has a fixed total supply of 1,000,000,000 and a 4% annual emission rate distributed to provers based on their output. Clients can pay for proofs in ETH, USDC, or LA; regardless of the payment asset, provers are rewarded in LA, with buybacks when necessary to keep compensation aligned with network activity. This model ties real work—proof generation—to token flows. (lagrangefoundation.org)
Key elements of Lagrange tokenomics include:
- Payments: Clients pay proof fees proportional to compute. Provers always receive LA, linking usage to token demand. (lagrangefoundation.org)
- Emissions: A fixed 4% annual issuance subsidizes proving costs, so users pay only part of the true expense while provers are made whole. (lagrangefoundation.org)
- Staking and Delegation: Token holders can stake or delegate LA to specific provers, directing emissions toward those operators. This can reduce circulating supply and steer capacity toward high‑demand workloads. (lagrangefoundation.org)
Distribution and unlocks follow a clear schedule: at TGE, 19.3% of the supply unlocked; investors and contributors are subject to a one‑year lock followed by linear vesting; community and ecosystem allocations include an initial 5% unlock with later linear releases; and the Lagrange Foundation allocation includes an initial 4.3% unlock with a subsequent vesting period. These details, together with the airdrop and emissions, create a long‑term release curve that developers and users can plan around. (lagrangefoundation.org)
It’s worth noting that LA holders do not accrue fees or emissions by passive holding alone; the token is designed to flow with work: paying for proofs, rewarding provers, and enabling staking/delegation to align capacity with demand. This work‑based design is an important pillar for understanding LA price dynamics over time, even though exact market figures change day to day. (lagrangefoundation.org)
Assumptions
- Supply is uncapped due to ongoing emissions; we modeled a 5-year emission block at 4%/year.
Official materials describe a fixed annual emission of 4% for prover subsidies without a stated end date.
- Genesis/TGE date set to 2025-06-30 for unlock anchors.
MiCA whitepaper lists 2025-06-30 as the starting date of offer/admission to trading; used as the TGE reference.
- Community & Ecosystem tokens set to 347.7M (34.77%) to make genesis allocations sum to exactly 1,000,000,000.
Whitepaper percentages rounded to two decimals total 100.01%; reduced Community & Ecosystem by 100,000 tokens to resolve rounding overflow.
- Binance HODLer airdrop of 15M LA (1.5% of supply) is treated as distributed from the Initial Airdrop allocation rather than a separate new allocation.
Binance confirms 15M LA for the HODLer campaign post-listing; Lagrange’s whitepaper shows a single 10% airdrop bucket and does not define an extra 1.5% category. This avoids double counting.
- Community & Ecosystem unlock begins at TGE and vests linearly for 48 months with no lock-up.
MiCA whitepaper specifies no lock-up and a 48-month linear vest; this supersedes an earlier blog post that suggested a partial TGE unlock and 6-month cliff.
