VaderAI (VADER) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The chart shows gross modeled releases of every allocation: vesting unlocks, new issuance and reserve distributions, each allocation counted once. These have different meanings; a scheduled release is not evidence that tokens entered circulation or were sold. Review the coverage, sources and assumptions below.
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 network
VADER is an ERC-20 token on Base mainnet. Its published contract address is 0x731814e491571A2e9eE3c5b1F7f3b962eE8f4870. The project lists a supply of one billion tokens and says that supply has been fully unlocked since the token-generation event. “Fully unlocked” describes the release schedule; it does not mean every token has the same owner or use. (docs.vaderai.ai)
How the token fits in
The current token design gives VADER several roles. Project documentation describes it as an in-app currency for EgoPlay items such as Energy Packs and Boosters. Tokens spent inside the platform are designed to be burned, meaning they are removed from circulation. Contributors can receive VADER through a rewards process connected to approved activity. The documentation also describes holding VADER as a requirement for running proposed ORN Light Nodes, which would help process, validate, or route data. (docs.vaderai.ai)
The project says it may use some future revenue from dataset sales or licenses for token buybacks or burns; those actions are discretionary. Its service terms describe staking as an access-control method for certain features. In this model, token use is tied to participation in the data network rather than a fixed claim on the company’s datasets or revenue. (docs.vaderai.ai)
Assumptions
VaderAI minted one billion VADER on November 1, 2024. The chart assigns that mint to the team's five published allocation budgets; the team said all five were unlocked at launch, but their individual mint amounts are an accounting breakdown rather than observed transfers. Later treasury spending and Gate's advertised airdrop have no verified payment amounts and dates suitable for the dated chart. The lower reported supply may reflect burns, but a cumulative burn total was not independently established.
- Treasury and Marketing Spending: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- Gate Startup GT-Holder Airdrop: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
