Toshi (TOSHI) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Toshi (TOSHI) 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 TOSHI 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
Toshi tokenomics are simple by design. The maximum supply is fixed and fully minted, with the official supply set at roughly 420.69 billion TOSHI. Following earlier phases that experimented with a buy/sell tax, the community voted to remove token taxes (now 0%/0%), aligning with the project’s emphasis on permissionless building and frictionless trading. The official contract address published in the docs and on the site is the source of truth for integrators. (toshi-the-cat.gitbook.io)
Toshi tokenomics also connect directly to utility:
- Payments and tipping: Community members use the TOSHI token for micro-support, culture drops, and social rewards across Base-native channels.
- Launch and liquidity: On Toshi Mart, TOSHI can serve as a quote asset in bonding-curve launches and as a base pair once pools migrate to AMMs. This keeps liquidity cycling within the Base ecosystem. (toshi-the-cat.gitbook.io)
- Governance touchpoints: While the MEOW DAO is evolving, the intent is clear—TOSHI and related assets (like NFToshis) align voting rights with active community participation. (toshi-the-cat.gitbook.io)
Together, these elements form the backbone of Toshi tokenomics: a fixed-supply, low-friction ERC‑20 designed to power culture, launches, and community-led decisions on Base.
Assumptions
- Total supply modeled as 420,690,000,000 TOSHI
Onchain explorer and market listings report 420.69B max/circulating; GitBook tokenomics shows 420,689,999,999 (likely rounding/formatting). We use 420.69B for consistency across primary references.
- Genesis date corresponds to the live migration of the current contract
Official migration posts specify liquidity and trading on the new contract began on 2023-10-09 with airdrops to holders and CEXs.
- No PoW/PoS inflation, staking rewards, or protocol-level emissions
TOSHI is an ERC-20 on Base; official tokenomics state maximum supply is already in circulation and taxes are 0%/0% post-DAO vote.
- Bridged deployments (e.g., BSC) do not change total supply
Cross-chain representations are minted against locked escrow and are not additional issuance; official site lists multiple chain contracts but no extra supply creation.
