Ravencoin (RVN) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Ravencoin (RVN) 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 RVN 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
Ravencoin’s economic model mirrors Bitcoin’s halving cadence but with RVN‑specific parameters:
- Maximum supply: 21,000,000,000 RVN.
- Block reward: started at 5,000 RVN and halves every 2,100,000 blocks (roughly four years at one‑minute blocks).
- First halving: January 11, 2022, reducing rewards to 2,500 RVN.
- Next halving: at block 4,200,000 (expected in early 2026), when rewards fall to 1,250 RVN. (cryptoage.com)
Issuance is purely via mining; there was no pre‑mine or developer allocation. Aside from miner fees, one additional supply dynamic is unique to Ravencoin: whenever someone creates or reissues assets, the protocol requires burning RVN to specialized, verifiable burn addresses. Over time, these burns permanently remove coins from circulation and partially offset emissions, especially in periods of heavy asset activity. (ravencoin.org)
In daily use, RVN serves to pay on‑chain fees, to fund asset operations (issuance, reissuance, tagging), and to distribute dividends or rewards from issuers to their token holders. Because these tools are in‑protocol, basic actions like messaging holders or sending a vote do not require complex smart contracts or external platforms. (ravencoin.org)
Assumptions
- Ravencoin has no premine, ICO, developer/treasury allocation, or masternode emissions; all RVN enter circulation via PoW block subsidies.
Project docs and repository state fair launch, no premine or set-asides.
- Halving occurs every 2,100,000 blocks; we model each epoch as a linear monthly unlock between halving boundaries.
Official halving page specifies 2,100,000-block interval and 1-minute target block time; dates after the first halving are projected using 1458.333 days per epoch.
- Total supply is capped at 21,000,000,000 RVN; actual minted via discrete satoshi rounding will be slightly below the theoretical cap.
Bitcoin-derived subsidy code rounds down to whole satoshis each halving; we sum 39 non-zero epochs using ideal halves for clarity. The difference is negligible (< ~25 RVN over the full schedule).
