Unlock Schedule
Vana (VANA) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
As of October 25, 2026, 66.99 million of the 120 million VANA (55.82%) have been released. The schedule is ongoing, with no final release date. Over the next 12 months it releases 22.93 million VANA (all estimated) mostly from Community and Investors, worth about $20.04 million at today's price (74.01% of the market cap). Today's release is an estimated 67,243 VANA from Community, Core Contributors, Ecosystem, Investors and PoS Validator Rewards.
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
VANA is the native asset of the Vana blockchain, with a stated maximum supply of 120 million tokens. The project’s distribution plan assigns 44% to the community, 22.9% to ecosystem activities, 18.8% to core contributors, and about 14.2% to investors. Community and ecosystem allocations support participation and development, while contributor and investor allocations follow longer release schedules. (binance.com)
The token serves several roles. It pays for network activity, supports staking, and links participants to operators that provide network services. Data collectives may also issue their own tokens for rights within a particular pool. This creates a distinction between VANA, which serves the wider network, and a collective’s token, whose role depends on that group’s rules. (vana.org)
Vana’s incentive model has changed as its data services have grown. In 2025, the project shifted data-pool incentives toward support for data-token liquidity and introduced staking tied to data validators. Under the Vega design, reads made through a live permission carry a fee; fees may be paid in VANA or supported stablecoins, and operators and their stakers are funded through network use. The upgrade did not change VANA’s stated supply or issuance rate. (vana.org)

Values at $0.874 per VANA (October 25, 2026), today's price, not a forecast. Releases continue after September 2027. Estimated amounts are modeled from the schedule's rules rather than dated by a source; see the Assumptions below. Releases without dates are listed under Allocations.
Assumptions
Binance reports 112,641,600 VANA created at genesis under Vana’s 120 million-token cap. Community and Ecosystem have TGE releases and published unlock durations, while contributors and investors have lock-ups followed by vesting; the monthly curves are estimates rather than published payment amounts. The chart separates those genesis-token releases from later validator issuance, whose remaining capacity and future timing are uncertain. Dates and amounts for several grant, DataDAO and staking distributions remain unresolved.
- Ecosystem: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- PoS Validator Rewards: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
- DataDAO Rewards: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- DataDAO Rewards: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
- Data Validator Staking Rewards: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
