    Shiba Inu (SHIB) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule

    The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) 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 SHIB 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

    Shiba Inu tokenomics at a glance

    • Initial supply: 1 quadrillion SHIB. At launch, 50% was locked in Uniswap liquidity and 50% was sent to Vitalik Buterin. He later donated a portion and burned about 410 trillion SHIB, permanently removing those tokens from circulation. (kriptomat.io)
    • Ongoing burns: In addition to community burn campaigns, Shibarium’s fee design converts a share of base fees into SHIB and destroys them, making burns part of daily network use. (docs.shib.io)

    SHIB token utility spans payments, tipping, community rewards, and DeFi participation on ShibaSwap. BONE is used for governance (Doggy DAO) and as Shibarium gas, while LEASH offers scarcity‑based access to special drops or mints. Collectively, these assets give holders a way to vote, build, and participate across the ecosystem. (news.shib.io)

    Assumptions

    • Treat all genesis allocations (Uniswap liquidity and Vitalik Buterin wallet) as circulating at TGE for release modeling.

      No contractual locks existed; Uniswap pool was publicly tradable immediately and the Vitalik-held tokens were transferable from day one. Post-genesis burns reduce total supply but are not new issuance/release.

    • No protocol-level SHIB issuance or staking emissions are modeled.

      SHIB has no ongoing mint/inflation. ShibaSwap staking (Bury) pays rewards in BONE/fee-derived distributions rather than newly minted SHIB.

    • Total supply reported here reflects initial minted supply (1 quadrillion) for percentage calculations; subsequent burns (e.g., Vitalik burn; Shibarium/portal burns) reduce current total supply but do not constitute release.

      The chart requested is for cumulative release; using initial supply provides consistent denominators for allocation percentages while burns are non-release events.

    500,000,000,000,000 tokens
    Cliff: Aug 1, 2020 — NaN% of allocation
    At launch, ~50% of total SHIB supply was supplied to the Uniswap pool; LP position ownership was renounced/burned ("threw away the keys"), making the liquidity publicly accessible from day one.
    Genesis – Allocation to Vitalik Buterin Wallet 50.00%

    Cliff: Aug 1, 2020 — NaN% of allocation
    At launch, ~50% of total SHIB supply was transferred to Vitalik Buterin’s address. These tokens were not subject to any contractual lock; later actions included a donation of ~50.694T SHIB on 2021-05-12 and a burn of ~410.242T SHIB on 2021-05-16.
