Unlock Schedule
lium (SN51) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
As of November 10, 2026, 4.78 million of the 21 million SN51 (22.78%) have been released. The schedule is ongoing, with no final release date. Over the next 12 months it releases 2.23 million SN51 (all estimated) from Subnet Alpha Issuance: Participant Rewards and Pool Reserves, worth about $61.08 million at today's price (43.75% of the market cap). Today's release is an estimated 6,265 SN51 from Subnet Alpha Issuance: Participant Rewards and Pool Reserves.
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
SN51’s alpha is a subnet-specific Bittensor token. Under Bittensor’s dynamic TAO design, each subnet has a pool containing TAO and its own alpha. Adding stake to Subnet 51 swaps TAO for SN51 alpha; removing stake swaps alpha back for TAO. Bittensor documents a maximum supply of 21 million alpha for each subnet, with issuance governed by its network rules. (bittensor.com)
For GPU providers, Lium describes two sources of earnings. The first is a share of rental payments when customers use their machines. The second is alpha issued through Bittensor according to validator scores and subnet rules. Rental earnings are sent to a provider’s coldkey, the wallet key used to control funds. Subnet emissions build up as stake associated with a hotkey, the key used for subnet operations. These paths help separate customer spending from rewards created by the network. (docs.lium.io)
Renters do not have to obtain SN51 alpha to start a pod. Lium lists rental costs in US dollars and accepts account top-ups through payment methods including cards and supported cryptocurrencies. Its billing system charges for the seconds a pod exists. The alpha token’s central roles are in subnet staking and incentives; it can also be used for an account top-up when that payment option accepts it. (docs.lium.io)

Values at $27.39 per SN51 (November 10, 2026), today's price, not a forecast. Releases continue after October 2027. Estimated amounts are modeled from the schedule's rules rather than dated by a source; see the Assumptions below.
Assumptions
SN51 enters supply through ongoing Bittensor subnet emissions for participant rewards and pool reserves, subject to a 21 million-token cap. The amounts minted each month and the timing of future halvings depend on network conditions, so no fixed future release calendar is established. The chart estimates net supply growth from launch through the dated totals and estimates its continuation; it does not show observed monthly minting. Documented burns mean gross tokens created exceed the net supply shown, but the full historical burn total is unknown.
