Sidekick (K) 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
Sidekick tokenomics (Sidekick tokenomics) allocate a fixed total supply of 1,000,000,000 K across several buckets with clear vesting rules:
- Ecosystem Growth: 20% (portion unlocked at TGE, then cliff and linear vesting)
- Long‑term Community Incentives: 20%
- Foundation: 16%
- Core Contributors: 15%
- Investors: 20%
- Advisors: 5%
- Liquidity Incentive: 4%
At launch, a portion of tokens seeded the ecosystem, community incentives, liquidity, and foundation, while investor, advisor, and core contributor allocations follow 12‑month lockups and subsequent linear vesting over two years. The design aims to reward early participation, fund long‑term development, and align contributors over time. (sidekick-protocol.gitbook.io)
Utility-wise, the K token serves as:
- Real-time engagement fuel: tipping, gifting, red packets, and interactive campaigns inside streams.
- Access token: premium rooms, VIP chats, token‑gated Q&As, and early access to creator distributions.
- Staking and subscriptions: unlock perks like boosted discovery, higher engagement tools, and loyalty rewards.
- Creator monetization: streamers earn K from audience actions and can run token‑gated giveaways or airdrops.
- Governance: holders propose and vote on features, incentive programs, and ecosystem growth directions.
This mix turns K into both a participation currency and a coordination tool for the community. (sidekick-protocol.gitbook.io)
Assumptions
Sidekick assigns its one-billion-token maximum across seven allocations, with portions of four available at the August 2025 launch and the rest subject to published cliff and vesting lengths through August 2028. Sidekick also announced a 10-million-token Kaito rewards budget, but did not identify which existing allocation funds it or publish a complete payment schedule. The chart shows allocation-level unlocks, with estimated month-by-month placement where exact vesting payments were not published; it does not treat later recipient claims as newly minted tokens. A research-date total supply and cumulative burn figure could not be verified from the cited primary sources.
- Sidekick × Kaito Yappers and Earn Program (1% of maximum supply): Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
