MultiversX (EGLD)
Unlock Schedule
MultiversX (EGLD) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
As of October 16, 2026, 30.86 million EGLD have been released. The schedule is ongoing, with no final release date. Over the next 12 months it releases 2.34 million EGLD (all estimated) from PoS validator rewards and network epoch issuance, worth about $8.58 million at today's price (7.58% of the market cap). Today's release is an estimated 6,682 EGLD from PoS validator rewards and network epoch issuance.
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
EGLD has several jobs. It is used to pay for transfers, token operations, and smart-contract activity. Validators and delegators receive EGLD rewards for taking part in network security. Staked or delegated EGLD can also carry voting power in on-chain governance, where participants decide on eligible network proposals. (docs.multiversx.com)
How new EGLD is distributed
EGLD’s issuance rules changed in 2025. The network originally had a fixed maximum-supply model. A governance-approved update replaced it with tail inflation, which allows continued issuance at a declining annual rate. The first-year rate in the updated model was set at about 8.76%, with a configured long-term minimum of 2%. New issuance is calculated using the network’s current total supply rather than only its starting supply. (multiversx.com)
The updated model divides planned issuance into four purposes:
- 50% for staking rewards paid to validators and delegators.
- 20% for a growth dividend linked to user activity.
- 20% for an ecosystem growth fund.
- 10% for protocol sustainability, including development and infrastructure.
The two growth-related portions are tied to performance measures and can remain locked when their conditions are not met. The economic framework also includes fee-burning plans, which link some future reductions in supply to network use. Together, issuance, rewards, and fees shape how EGLD supports both network operations and development. (multiversx.com)

Values at $3.67 per EGLD (October 16, 2026), today's price, not a forecast. Releases continue after September 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
MultiversX began with 20 million EGLD allocated among the sale, team, treasury, community and ecosystem pools; the published dates track when those initial allocations became available. Network rewards then increased supply, and a December 2025 upgrade replaced the old declining, genesis-based policy with uncapped tail inflation and conditional growth funds. The chart can show the documented initial unlocks and estimated growth between supply observations, but it cannot determine exact monthly minting, cumulative native-token burns or future grant and incentive payments. The initial pools' later spending and the conditional funds remain undated.
- Private sale — 19% of initial supply: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Initial protocol treasury — 17% of initial supply: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- Initial marketing, grants and accelerator pool — 8.5% of initial supply: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Initial community fund — 2% of initial supply: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- PoS validator rewards and network epoch issuance: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
- PoS validator rewards and network epoch issuance: The original schedule was changed and the new timing is not yet published.
- Protocol sustainability share of epoch rewards: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
- Staking V5 ecosystem growth fund — conditional 20% emission share: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- Staking V5 growth dividend — conditional 20% emission share: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
