Unlock Schedule
Skate (SKATE) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
As of November 11, 2026, 141.95 million of the 1 billion SKATE (14.20%) have been released. The remaining 73.63 million SKATE, all estimated, are worth about $76,303 at today's price (48.47% of the market cap). Of these, 27.78 million SKATE release over the next 12 months, from Team — 10% of maximum supply. Today's release is an estimated 78,247 SKATE from Team — 10% of maximum supply. SKATE is fully unlocked on June 9, 2029; after that date the schedule has no further dated releases.
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
Skate tokenomics focus on alignment, security, and long‑run participation.
Supply and allocations
Public materials describe a fixed supply of 1 billion SKATE with allocations along these lines:
- 45.5% Community incentives
- 18% Ecosystem and reserves
- 15% Investors and advisors
- 10% Team
- 10% Initial airdrop
- 1.5% Public sale
These figures have been reported by crypto media citing official disclosures from the Skate Foundation. Exact unlock schedules tend to favor multi‑year release for team and investor buckets to encourage alignment. (odaily.news)
Utility
- Network security: SKATE is staked alongside restaked ETH to secure Skate’s Actively Validated Service (AVS) on EigenLayer.
- Staker incentives: A share of protocol fees (for example, from Skate AMM) is designed to accrue to SKATE stakers, aligning token holders with network usage.
- Governance: SKATE enables voting in the Skate DAO on protocol upgrades, fee settings, and emissions. (skatechain.org)
Relationship to “SKATE price”
While many track SKATE price to gauge sentiment, the core value proposition centers on utility: securing the Skate AVS, coordinating cross‑VM liquidity, and giving governance power over how incentives and fees evolve. This utility‑first model underpins the broader Skate tokenomics design. (skatechain.org)

Values at $0.001 per SKATE (November 11, 2026), today's price, not a forecast. Releases continue after October 2027. Estimated amounts are modeled from the schedule's rules rather than dated by a source; see the Assumptions below. Releases without dates are listed under Allocations.
Assumptions
Skate’s verified token contract creates one billion SKATE, allocated among the team, investors and advisers, a public sale, an initial airdrop, ecosystem reserves, and community distribution. Published terms date the launch airdrop, public-sale release, and team vesting; the public-sale monthly shape and team calendar boundaries include stated modeling assumptions. Investor payments, reserve and community spending, and payments from the named Yapper rewards program remain undated. The chart can show the dated unlocks separately from the initial mint, but it cannot present the undated budgets as observed monthly releases or verify the small difference between the mint and the supplied reference total.
- Investors and advisors — 15% of maximum supply: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Ecosystem and liquidity/exchange reserve — 18% of maximum supply: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- Community distribution — 45.5% of maximum supply: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- Skate Yapper Leaderboard rewards — announced 1% program: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
