Unlock Schedule
Somnia (SOMI) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Somnia (SOMI) 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 SOMI 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
SOMI is the native asset with a fixed maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens. It fuels three pillars of the network economy: staking, gas, and governance. Over time, token holders will also help steer the treasury and community programs. (docs.somnia.network)
Allocation and unlocks
Somnia tokenomics are published in detail:
- Team: 11% (12‑month cliff, 48‑month vesting)
- Launch Partners: 15% (12‑month cliff, 48‑month vesting)
- Investors: 15.15% (12‑month cliff, 36‑month vesting)
- Advisors: 3.58% (12‑month cliff, 36‑month vesting)
- Ecosystem: 27.345% (5.075% at TGE, 48‑month vesting)
- Community: 27.925% (10.945% at TGE, 36‑month vesting)
At TGE, 16.02% of supply entered circulation. Unlocks then vest gradually across four years. (docs.somnia.network)
Staking and validation
Somnia uses delegated Proof of Stake (dPoS). Validators must stake 5,000,000 SOMI to run a node. Token holders can delegate SOMI either to specific validators or to a general pool and share a portion of rewards. There’s a 28‑day unbonding period for validator‑specific delegation, and the network actively supports under‑staked validators through the general pool. (docs.somnia.network)
Gas, fee burn, and discounts
Users pay gas in SOMI. The network’s model burns 50% of all fees and distributes the remaining 50% to validators, introducing a structural sink for SOMI as usage grows. Somnia also plans dynamic volume‑based discounts, where high‑throughput apps may see up to ~90% lower unit gas prices at sustained TPS tiers. (docs.somnia.network)
Governance roadmap
Governance starts progressively. A Token House (SOMI holders), Validator Council, Developer Council, User Assembly, and Foundation Board will each take on roles as control decentralizes across phases from bootstrap to maturity. Early proposals focus on treasury and community allocations. (docs.somnia.network)
Assumptions
- Genesis/TGE occurred on 2025-09-02; vesting cliffs are measured from this date.
Official press release and media coverage announce mainnet and token launch on 2025-09-02.
- Community post-TGE vest modeled as even linear over 36 months.
Docs state 10.945% at TGE and ‘increased unlock at M1 and M2, then monthly linear for 36 months’ but do not publish exact amounts for M1/M2; therefore the remaining allocation is modeled as linear for monthly charting.
- Team and Launch Partners vesting is 12-month cliff plus 48-month linear vest after the cliff.
Directly from the allocation table in official docs; this extends vesting beyond the 48-month illustrative chart window.
- No ongoing PoW/PoS inflation or block issuance beyond fixed 1B supply.
Docs specify SOMI has a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 and staking rewards are sourced from gas fees and/or treasury incentives, not new token issuance.
- Fee burns are excluded from unlock modeling.
50% of gas fees are burned per docs; burns reduce supply rather than release new tokens, so they are not a supply release mechanism.
