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
Trust Wallet tokenomics (“Trust Wallet tokenomics”) are built around utility and participation. TWT began as a BEP‑2 token on Binance Chain and, in October 2020, expanded to BEP‑20 on BNB Smart Chain to tap smart contracts and broader DeFi use. As part of that move, the team burned tokens to bring the total supply to 1,000,000,000 TWT. Today, TWT functions mainly as a BEP‑20 token within the Trust Wallet ecosystem.

Core TWT utilities include:
- Governance: 1 TWT = 1 vote on community proposals. Holders can suggest ideas (with a threshold) and vote on features like new chain support or product changes. Voting snapshots are taken on BNB Smart Chain. (community.trustwallet.com)
- Discounts and perks: TWT can unlock fee discounts for in-app services and DEX usage where supported. (binance.com)
- Launchpool and partner rewards: Trust Wallet has hosted time-limited campaigns (e.g., WOD, ELDE) where users lock TWT to earn rewards from partner projects in Web3, NFTs, or gaming. (trustwallet.com)
- FlexGas: select transactions can use TWT to pay network fees on supported networks, reducing friction when you don’t hold native gas tokens. (trustwallet.com)
Supply and distribution have been shaped by community programs, airdrops, and growth incentives over time. After the 2020 burn set the total supply at 1B, TWT issuance and distribution shifted to focus on long-term ecosystem growth rather than short-term giveaways. The team’s public materials and community posts outline allocations for reserves, user acquisition, community rewards, and developer incentives; actual release pacing is updated across campaigns and product needs.

While people often check TWT price on exchanges or in-app trackers, TWT’s value inside Trust Wallet comes from what it lets you do—vote on changes, join special campaigns, and streamline fees—rather than only from market speculation. (binance.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.
