Unlock Schedule
RedStone (RED) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the RedStone (RED) 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 RED 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
Supply, standard, and distribution
RED is an ERC‑20 token with a fixed maximum supply of 1,000,000,000. At launch, the token’s initial float was under one‑third of the total supply, with the remainder unlocking over four years. Distribution is designed to balance community growth, core contributors, early backers, and ecosystem incentives. A published breakdown shows categories such as Community & Genesis (10%), Protocol Development (10%), Core Contributors (20%), Binance Launchpool (4%), Ecosystem & Data Providers (about 24.3%), and Early Backers (31.7%). The token contract is deployed on Ethereum, with multichain availability provided via Wormhole after the token generation event; RedStone has also published addresses for Ethereum and Base.

Staking and value flow
RED is designed as a utility token tied to network security. Data providers and token holders can stake RED into the RedStone AVS to help secure data delivery. As RedStone feeds are used across chains, a portion of fees paid by data users can accrue to stakers, with rewards denominated in widely used assets like ETH, BTC, SOL, or USDC. The aim is to create a sustainable flywheel: more feeds and more usage deepen rewards for stakers, which in turn strengthens the oracle’s security and reach. (docs.redstone.finance)
Decentralization roadmap
The token’s role fits a broader plan to decentralize RedStone’s oracle modules and economic guarantees. By pairing RED staking with EigenLayer’s shared security, the network can lean on both its native token and restaked collateral from a large, diverse operator set. Over time, more feeds and more networks are expected to join the AVS‑secured path. (blog.redstone.finance)
Assumptions
- TGE date modeled as 2025-03-06.
Official launch/spot listing reported March 6, 2025; project materials refer to TGE around that date.
- Community & Genesis 100% unlocked at TGE; subsequent programs (e.g., DRILL) distribute from this unlocked pool.
Project docs and third-party trackers indicate full unlock at TGE; DRILL is distribution mechanics, not additional issuance.
- Ecosystem & Data Providers unlock split of 45.3% at TGE and 54.7% linear over 24 months after 6-month cliff.
Derived from project documents as compiled by reputable trackers and consistent with stated 280M total supply at TGE.
- No ongoing PoW/PoS issuance; RED max supply is hard-capped at 1,000,000,000 and minted over 4 years.
Contract code hardcodes MAX_SUPPLY; staking rewards in RED are funded from allocated buckets, not inflationary issuance.
- Binance Launchpool rewards modeled as a cliff on 2025-02-27.
Launchpool ran Feb 26–27, 2025 with hourly distributions; for monthly granularity we aggregate as a single cliff at period end.
