Polymesh (POLYX) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule

As of October 16, 2026, 1.32 billion POLYX have been released. The schedule is ongoing, with no final release date. Over the next 12 months it releases 119.29 million POLYX (all estimated) from PoS validator and nominator rewards, worth about $4.4 million at today's price (9.00% of the market cap). Today's release is an estimated 340,818 POLYX from PoS validator and nominator 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

POLYX has several jobs on the public Polymesh chain:

Fees: It pays for transactions and certain protocol actions, such as registering an asset ticker.
Staking: Operators and nominators bond it to support block production and confirmation.
Governance: Holders can submit improvement proposals and signal support or opposition.
Rewards: Newly created POLYX rewards operators and the people who nominate them. (developers.polymesh.network)

POLYX has no fixed maximum supply. New tokens are minted as staking rewards, with annual issuance capped at 140 million POLYX. The reward system aims for a target share of supply to be staked; that target can be changed through governance. Because rewards depend on the network’s staking conditions and rules, staking is best understood as payment for taking part in network security, rather than as a fixed rate attached to the token. (developers.polymesh.network)

Transaction fees reflect the work a transaction asks the chain to perform. Some actions carry an additional protocol fee. Polymesh also lets one account cover another account’s transaction fees, which can help an issuer or application simplify the experience for its users. On a Polymesh Private deployment, fees can instead use a token specific to that private chain, or be configured away; those networks do not use POLYX. (developers.polymesh.network)

Values at $0.037 per POLYX (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

POLYX began with a reported genesis mint, grew through POLY upgrades until the bridge closed on February 29, 2024, and continues to grow through staking rewards. Historical supply readings show growth, although the earlier readings cannot separate bridge mints from rewards. The Association also announced a 250-million-POLYX grants-and-incentives budget that includes a 50-million-POLYX developer program, without a complete payment timetable. The chart estimates monthly growth between reported readings; its September 28, 2026 endpoint uses a provisional supply figure, while grant payments and future reward amounts remain unresolved.

POLY-to-POLYX upgrade bridge: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
PoS validator and nominator rewards: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
PoS validator and nominator rewards: Emission continues with no published future rate or end date.
Association grants and incentives budget: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
Polymesh Grants Program: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
