Unlock Schedule
Trust Wallet (TWT) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Trust Wallet (TWT) 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 TWT 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 model
According to Trust Wallet’s token litepaper, TWT has a permanently fixed supply enforced by the current smart contract. The token launched using community distribution and, shortly after launch in 2020, a major burn event removed a large portion of the original tokens. The litepaper notes that more than 40% of TWT has been in circulation for years, largely through community airdrops, while the remaining allocations support growth, liquidity, partnerships, and team incentives.

What TWT does in the app
The litepaper outlines a practical, expanding set of utilities tied to everyday wallet use. These include:
- Loyalty rewards: locking TWT and using core features can make an address eligible for discretionary benefits, such as campaign rewards or boosted yields provided by Trust Wallet or partners.
- Fee discounts: reduced fees on specific in‑app services such as swaps or fiat on/off‑ramps, subject to availability.
- Gas payment: using TWT to pay network fees via FlexGas on supported chains.
- Service access: priority support or premium tools for higher‑tier users.
- Community participation: voting on community and marketing topics (with “1 address = 1 vote” semantics described by the team). (trustwallet.com)
Tiers and growth flywheel
Trust Wallet proposes a tiered system in which holding and locking TWT, combined with product usage, can unlock deeper benefits. The team positions this as a “flywheel” that aligns user engagement with ecosystem growth. The rollout is staged, with features scheduled in phases beginning in late 2025. (trustwallet.com)
Assumptions
- Total supply fixed at 1,000,000,000 TWT after Oct 3, 2020 burn; no ongoing inflation/issuance.
Official community post and litepaper state the burn reduced supply to 1B and the smart contract prevents new minting.
- Pre-burn community distribution modeled as exactly 250,000,000 TWT (25% of 1B).
Trust Wallet wrote that 'around 25%' was distributed at the time of the burn; we use 25% for modeling.
- Post-burn distributions sized to match circulating supply as of 2025-10-09.
No official month-by-month ledger; we reconcile to widely referenced circulating supply data to ensure tokens sum correctly for charting.
- Future reserve emissions modeled linearly over 5 years (2025-10-10 to 2030-10-09).
Litepaper identifies four usage areas for uncirculated tokens but does not provide a vesting timetable. We convert discretionary, event-based emissions into an equivalent monthly schedule for visualization.
- No PoW/PoS/staking issuance modeled for TWT itself.
TWT is a BEP‑20/BEP‑2/SPL utility token with fixed supply; there is no protocol-level block or staking issuance for TWT.
- Genesis date set to first official referral/airdrop announcement.
Earliest official announcement of TWT distribution campaign found on 2020-03-04; token may have been minted slightly earlier.
