Rarible (RARI)
Unlock Schedule
Rarible (RARI) 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
Supply and allocation
RARI is an ERC-20 token with a stated total supply of 25 million tokens. The RARI Foundation describes its allocation as 10% for an airdrop, 30% for investors and the team, 20% for token incentives, and 40% for the DAO treasury. The treasury is a pool of resources that the community can direct toward approved ecosystem activities. (rari.foundation)
RARI’s main function is governance. Token holders can participate in proposals concerning protocol development and treasury use, either directly or through delegated voting power under the applicable DAO process. Governance has changed over time: an earlier model used locked tokens, while staking and delegation on RARI Chain were introduced in 2025. DAO proposals can address matters such as incentives, funding, and the tools used across the ecosystem. (rari.foundation)
The token also appears in rewards programs. Under a program announced in September 2025, activity on Rarible can earn points that are used to distribute RARI. Separately, the Foundation introduced staking rewards tied to delegation and governance participation. These programs connect token distribution to activity in the marketplace and DAO.

Assumptions
The Foundation reports a 25 million-RARI maximum divided among an original airdrop, investors and team, token incentives, and the DAO treasury. Published dates support the first two airdrop openings, an initial marketplace reward, and some later rewards; many vesting, grant, claim and treasury-payment dates remain unknown. The chart's placement of the reported supply in 2020 and its splits of certain observed program totals are explicitly estimates, not verified mint or payment histories. One supplied October 2025 total exceeds the stated maximum and later totals, so its discrepancy remains unresolved.
