Quickswap (QUICK) 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
Distribution and changing incentives
The original QUICK plan set aside 96.75% of tokens for the community, including 90% for liquidity-mining rewards. The remaining 3.25% went to curators and advisers. These figures describe the launch plan; later governance decisions changed how the project funds rewards and development. (blog.quickswap.exchange)
QUICK also changed its unit size. In March 2022, the community approved a 1:1,000 token split. One old QUICK could be converted into 1,000 new QUICK, raising the new token’s stated maximum from one million units to one billion units. The QUICK discussed here is the newer token, which QuickSwap identifies as the version used for governance. The split changed the number of units held, rather than creating a new exchange product.

The token’s main functions have included voting and staking. QuickSwap has used QUICK rewards to encourage deposits in selected liquidity pools. It has also operated staking programs under names such as Dragon’s Lair and Dragon’s Syrup. The form of those rewards has changed over time: QuickSwap announced a Dragon’s Syrup program on Base in which users stake QUICK to earn QUICK rewards. (docs.quickswap.exchange)
In 2024, governance introduced a program that used protocol revenue to buy and burn QUICK. A burn permanently removes tokens from the usable supply. A further update took effect in July 2025: QuickSwap said it would stop issuing new tokens for farming rewards and instead use protocol revenue to fund farming, burns, and treasury-owned liquidity. This links the token’s incentive model more closely to activity on the platform. (blog.quickswap.exchange)
Assumptions
QuickSwap originally budgeted most QUICK for liquidity mining, with separate UNI-pool, curator, airdrop and marketing allocations; New QUICK was created for the 2022 token split. Farming payments varied, curator vesting lacks verified release dates, and later Foundation and revenue-funded reward transfers have no published token-by-token schedule. The chart can date the New QUICK mint at an estimated month, but it cannot responsibly turn the allocation budgets into monthly payments. Current total supply and cumulative burns could not be verified from an official source as of October 1, 2026.
