Unlock Schedule
MimbleWimbleCoin (MWC) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
As of November 10, 2026, 11.02 million of the 20 million MWC (55.11%) have been released. The schedule is ongoing, with no final release date. Over the next 12 months it releases 25,632 MWC (all estimated) from PoW Block Rewards, worth about $0.29 million at today's price. Today's release is an estimated 72 MWC from PoW Block Rewards.
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
Supply and distribution
MWC’s supply limit is 20 million coins. The plan divides that total into 10 million created in the genesis block and 10 million assigned to proof-of-work issuance over a very long period. The original genesis allocation set aside 6 million for a Bitcoin-holder airdrop, 2 million for a holder-reward program, and 2 million for development. Project records say the remaining program, development, and unclaimed airdrop funds were distributed to MWC holders in 2020. (mwc.mw)
Mining rewards follow a schedule that steps down over time. The limit is written into the network’s consensus rules, while transaction fees are added to a miner’s reward for including payments in a block. Holding coins alone does not grant the power to produce blocks. The historical HODL program was part of the project’s early distribution, rather than the network’s ongoing method for issuing new coins. (github.com)
MWC’s everyday utility is straightforward: it moves value across its own network. Senders use coins to make payments and cover fees. Miners receive newly issued coins under the reward schedule, giving them an incentive to provide computing power. (github.com)

Values at $11.46 per MWC (October 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. Releases without dates are listed under Allocations.
Assumptions
MWC created approximately 10 million coins at genesis and issues the remainder through proof-of-work rewards that decline at coded block heights. Genesis coins funded a Bitcoin-holder airdrop, a HODL program and a developer fund; later claim rounds reused some of those funds rather than minting more coins. Some claim rounds mixed budgets, so their individual funding shares and claim dates remain uncertain. The issuance chart follows coded rewards, while its monthly placement is estimated from target block time and can be checked against the September 30, 2026 explorer supply reading.
