Unlock Schedule
Memecoin (MEME) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Memecoin (MEME) 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 MEME 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 distribution
The MEME token supply is hard‑capped at 69 billion. Memeland shared a distribution that blended community programs, ecosystem growth, presales, and allocations to contributors and investors. Publicly circulated breakdowns indicate the following structure:
- Ecosystem growth: 30%
- Airdrops and community rewards: 25%
- Team/contributors: 17%
- Private/strategic investors: 12%
- Community presale (“Fire Sale”): 11%
- Binance Launchpool allocation: 2%
- Advisors: 3%
In parallel announcements and third‑party summaries, Memeland specified that 11% of total supply (7.59 billion MEME) went to the community presale, and 2% (1.38 billion MEME) was reserved for Launchpool rewards. Collectively, these moves emphasized a broad initial distribution while reserving a substantial portion for long‑term ecosystem development. (coincarp.com)
Economic design and early messaging
At launch, Memeland leaned into a tongue‑in‑cheek philosophy: “No utility. No roadmap. No promises.” That framing set expectations that MEME was a cultural asset first and foremost. Over time, however, the studio has added practical touchpoints—most visibly Stakeland—so the token now functions as an access and participation asset for campaigns, rewards, and collaborations within and around Memeland. The original “no utility” language remains part of the project’s cultural identity, but the surrounding product set has matured. (cryptotimes.io)
What MEME does today
- Staking and rewards: MEME can be staked via Stakeland for mission‑based rewards that may include partner tokens, with claims scheduled per project. Stakeland’s audit status and contract details are public. (stakeland.com)
- Ecosystem cohesion: MEME is referenced across Memeland’s site alongside the NFT collections and products, serving as a common thread that connects user participation, perks, and cross‑project activities. (memeland.com)
While some community members informally use MEME in social tipping or within community events, Memeland’s official product efforts focus on staking campaigns and creator‑community integrations rather than transactional payments or protocol governance rights. (memeland.com)
Assumptions
- TGE and listing date set to 2023-11-03 for modeling.
ICO Drops and exchange announcements indicate MEME TGE/listing on Nov 3, 2023.
- Airdrop post‑TGE vest modeled as linear over 18 months.
Official communications describe non‑linear, NFT‑locked claims; linear monthly approximation used to satisfy charting granularity.
- Investors vesting assumed 6‑month lock then 18‑month linear vest.
Binance Research/Drops dashboards describe cliff then 18‑month vest; start date set to six months after TGE.
- Contributors vesting assumed 12‑month cliff then 36‑month linear vest.
Vesting dashboards show 'cliff' and 36‑month linear with final unlock around Nov 2027; 12‑month cliff best fits timeline.
- Advisory allocation modeled as linear over 11 months starting one month after TGE.
Dashboard shows cliff and non‑linear ~11‑month vest; no month‑by‑month table provided, so approximated for monthly series.
- Launchpool rewards modeled as a single 30‑day linear schedule.
Binance Launchpool distributed 2% (1.38B MEME) over Oct 28–Nov 26, 2023; hourly emissions approximated as linear monthly.
