Omni Network (OMNI) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Omni Network (OMNI) 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 OMNI 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
Asset format and roles
OMNI is an ERC‑20 on Ethereum L1 with a maximum supply of 100,000,000 tokens and a canonical contract at 0x36e66fbbce51e4cd5bd3c62b637eb411b18949d4. Tokens can be bridged to the Omni EVM for staking. Within the protocol, OMNI is used to pay gas for Omni EVM transactions and cross‑rollup requests, to stake and secure the network (often alongside restaked ETH), and to participate in governance as it launches. According to the project’s docs, OMNI gas fees on the EVM are burned. (docs.omni.network)
Distribution and vesting
At genesis, OMNI’s initial circulating amount represented a small portion of the total, with the rest allocated across an ecosystem fund, community programs, core contributors, investors, and advisors. Public materials from the launch period describe the distribution roughly as follows: Ecosystem Fund, Community Fund, Core Contributors (Team), Private Sale Investors, Advisors, a Public Launch allocation, and a Launchpool allocation. The team and investor allocations follow multi‑year schedules with a 12‑month cliff and semiannual unlocks thereafter, while advisor tokens include a small portion unlocked at genesis with the remainder vesting over three years. The project later clarified that unlocks tied to core contributors, investors, and advisors began on May 2, 2025, following its legal “trigger date” mechanics. (rootdata.com)
To broaden ownership at the start, the Omni Foundation ran the OMNI “Genesis” airdrop. Three percent of supply was set aside for eligible users, with a 45‑day claim window after claims opened. The foundation also launched a genesis staking option for early participants. (news.omni.network)
Economic model in practice
- Gas and fees: OMNI powers the Omni EVM and universal gas flow; fees spent on the EVM are burned, creating a direct link between usage and supply. (docs.omni.network)
- Security and staking: Validators can receive delegated OMNI, and the protocol combines this with ETH restaking for cryptoeconomic security. (docs.omni.network)
- Governance: Staked OMNI is intended to grant voting power as on‑chain governance rolls out, letting holders help decide upgrades and integrations. (docs.omni.network)
Assumptions
- Vesting schedules for Core Contributors, Investors, and Advisors begin from the legal Trigger Date (2024-05-02), defined as 21 days after the token contract deployment.
Official tokenomics update clarified start for unlocks; first unlocks occur on 2025-05-02.
- Public Launch category is modeled as three sub-mechanisms: Binance Launchpool (linear 2024-04-13 to 2024-04-16), Genesis Airdrop (cliff on 2024-04-17), and listing liquidity (cliff on 2024-04-17).
Matches official descriptions and Launchpool schedule; airdrop final total updated by Omni on launch day.
- Investor buyback tokens (6.77% of total supply) were repurchased from the still-locked portion after the 12‑month cliff and reallocated to Community Growth, honoring the original vesting cadence for the remaining 2 years.
Official post states repurchase complied with existing lock-ups; explicit per-event split not provided, so modeled evenly across the four remaining 6‑month steps.
- Ecosystem Development and Community Growth are unlocked at TGE but enter active circulation at the discretion of the Omni Foundation and later governance.
Stated in tokenomics; we model unlock at TGE as tokens becoming liquid to the treasury/governance.
- No ongoing PoS/PoW issuance modeled beyond the genesis bootstrap amount.
Tokenomics state any inflation for validator rewards will be determined by governance after year 3; no active inflation schedule exists as of 2025-10-27.
- Minor 1-token rounding discrepancy across category integers.
Official per-category token integers sum to 100,000,001 while maximum supply is stated as 100,000,000; treated as rounding dust for charting purposes.
