Unlock Schedule
StarkNet (STRK) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the StarkNet (STRK) 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 STRK 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 and allocation
STRK has a fixed initial supply of 10 billion tokens (minted on‑chain in November 2022) allocated across early contributors, investors, StarkWare, grants, community provisions and rebates, Foundation reserves/treasury, and donations. Token allocations for investors and early contributors vest through a staged unlock that extends to March 2027 after a 2024 revision. (docs.starknet.io)
Unlock schedule
After community feedback, unlocks were smoothed:
- 0.64% monthly from Apr 15, 2024 to Mar 15, 2025.
- 1.27% monthly from Apr 15, 2025 to Mar 15, 2027.
This staggered release replaced a large one‑time unlock and aims to align stakeholders over the long run. (binance.com)
Utility
- Fees: Pay L2 transaction fees in STRK (or ETH).
- Governance: Vote directly or via delegation in StarkNet governance.
- Staking: As decentralization increases, STRK powers staking phases where validators and delegators help secure the network and earn protocol rewards under a minting curve approved on‑chain. (docs.starknet.io)
Airdrops and community programs
In February 2024, the StarkNet Foundation launched Provisions—an airdrop program that made hundreds of millions of STRK available to eligible users, builders, and contributors across the wider Ethereum and StarkNet communities. The campaign sits alongside “DeFi Spring,” wherein protocols distributed STRK to bootstrap liquidity and activity. (starknet.io)
About STRK price
STRK price is driven by factors such as network usage, staking participation, token unlocks, and ecosystem growth. Live STRK price is displayed separately on this page.
Assumptions
- Total STRK supply is not capped; protocol can mint new tokens for staking per governance-approved minting curve.
Docs state 10B minted initially with future issuance for staking; no hard cap is specified.
- Early Contributors and Investors monthly unlocks are prorated between categories based on their share of the combined allocation.
Docs specify monthly unlocks as a percent of total supply across both categories; exact split not specified.
- Final true-up on 2027-03-15 adjusts rounding differences to match exact category totals.
Published monthly amounts (‘up to’ 0.64%/1.27%) sum to 38.16% of total vs combined category total ≈38.21%; true-up reconciles the ~5M STRK difference.
- Community Provisions claimed amount modeled as 500M STRK over Feb 20–Jun 20, 2024.
Official posts report ‘almost/roughly 500M’ claimed; no exact final total published. Modeled linearly across the claim window.
- DeFi Spring Round 1 distribution modeled linearly Mar 7–Jun 27, 2024 totaling 14.4M STRK.
Foundation reports ‘14.4M STRK distributed over 16 weeks’; first claim date provided; weekly cadence approximated as monthly linear.
- BTCFi Season modeled as linear distribution of full 100M STRK budget over Sep 30, 2025–Mar 30, 2026.
Program launched with stated budget and weekly distributions; minimum 6 months. Exact weekly totals not published at time of access.
- PoS rewards minted through 2025-10-09 estimated at ~19.58M STRK.
Used C=1.6 minting curve, official 310M staked as of 2025-06-30, linear growth assumption, and constant 10B base for rate calculation; precise on-chain minted total not published in a canonical source.
