Unlock Schedule
Polytrade (TRADE) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
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
Polytrade’s published token plan sets TRADE’s total supply at 100 million tokens. The largest allocation, 39.42%, was assigned to community incentives. Another 20% was assigned to marketing and liquidity-provider rewards, and 17% to the team. Seed, private, strategic, and public sales, along with ecosystem partners and advisers, made up the remaining allocations. These figures describe the project’s distribution plan rather than the number of tokens held by any group at a particular time. (polytrade.gitbook.io)
The project describes TRADE as a payment and reward instrument. Its documented uses include rewards for service providers, staking, and governance through validated holders. The original trade-finance plan also links staked TRADE to lower financing rates for sellers and invoice discounts for buyers who settle through Polytrade. Those uses connect the token’s role to participation in the platform rather than to ownership of every asset listed there. (polytrade.gitbook.io)
Polytrade added another staking program in December 2025 through its work with Integra, a real-estate-focused blockchain initiative. It opened TRADE staking across Ethereum, Polygon, and BNB Chain. The announced program awards participation points, called XP, and connects staking to eligibility for an allocation of Integra’s separate IRL token. TRADE and IRL serve different roles within that arrangement. (polytrade.substack.com)
Assumptions
Polytrade’s contract specifies an original mint of 100 million TRADE, divided in its published allocation table among sale rounds, the team, partners, community incentives, and marketing and LP rewards. The public round was designated fully unlocked at launch; other rounds have cliffs or vesting periods, while the first-year timing of the two largest incentive budgets is not specified. Gate’s separate offering and Polytrade’s staking rewards have no established funding-parent relationship or complete payment schedule. The chart can show the original mint and the supported unlock rules separately, with modeled installment dates labeled as estimates and undated distributions left off the dated curve.
