Unlock Schedule
Mask Network (MASK) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Mask Network (MASK) 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 MASK 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
Supply and standard
MASK is an ERC‑20 token deployed on Ethereum, with a fixed total supply of 100 million minted at creation. The audited token contract is publicly viewable on Etherscan. Bridged versions exist on other networks (for example, BNB Chain and Polygon), but the canonical token is on Ethereum. (ww6.etherscan.io)
Governance and participation
MASK holders are members of MaskDAO and can propose or vote on ecosystem matters—such as product direction, grants, and treasury usage—typically by staking tokens on proposal contracts during set voting windows. Some partners and platforms also reference staking or rewards programs tied to governance participation. (support.bitso.com)
Allocation approach
Public documentation and exchange research outline an initial distribution centered on community programs, reserves/treasury, early investors, and the team, with a capped supply of 100,000,000. Exact percentages vary by source and update, but the overall design emphasizes long‑term governance and ecosystem building rather than uncapped emissions. (support.bitso.com)
What MASK is used for
- Governance: voting and proposal rights within MaskDAO.
- Access and features: integration with in‑extension tools (e.g., Snapshot links, grants, and social utilities).
- Payments in Smart Pay: fee abstraction on Polygon via a contract wallet that accepts MASK for gas. (mask.io)
Assumptions
- Genesis/TGE set to 2021-02-24 (LBP start).
Official public sale began via Balancer LBP on 2021-02-24; ITO unlock and liquidity followed by 2021-02-27.
- Foundation Reserve unlock modeled as 36-month linear.
Official post states all genesis supply unlocks by month 36; no contrary primary source found specifying a different vest for the foundation. Some trackers show 60 months; we prioritize Mask’s own statement.
- Investor vesting details per round (cliffs, TGE %, durations) are adopted from widely cited exchange/analytics docs.
Mask’s February 2021 posts describe investor categories but do not enumerate each round’s exact vesting terms; consistent figures across HTX and DropsTab used.
- Airdrop treated as fully unlocked on claim-open date.
Airdrop was claim-based with decay and potential reallocation; for modeling, considered circulating once claimable.
