    Venice (VVV) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule

    The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Venice (VVV) 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 VVV 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 and emissions

    At token generation, Venice set the initial supply at 100 million VVV with no presale and no governance. The team described ongoing token emissions as part of the design: newly issued tokens are distributed to stakers and to the project according to platform usage, with an initial target of roughly 14 million tokens per year. Later communications indicated the schedule could adjust; in early 2026, a reduction in annual emissions was announced, reflecting a move to tighten new supply. (mta-sts.venice.ai)

    Distribution at launch

    The token’s initial distribution emphasized users and builders:

    • 50% (50 million VVV) airdropped to two groups: active Venice users and selected crypto x AI communities on Base (for example, Virtuals, AERO, DEGEN, AIXBT, LUNA, VADER, CLANKER, MOR) and a set of Coinbase AgentKit developers. A snapshot was taken on December 31, 2024, and claims were open for 45 days from launch. (basehub.venice.ai)
    • 35% (35 million VVV) granted to Venice.ai, including 10 million for the team with a portion unlocked up front and the remainder vesting over 24 months. (basehub.venice.ai)
    • 10% (10 million VVV) reserved as a Venice incentive fund. (venice.ai)
    • 5% (5 million VVV) deployed as liquidity on Base, with Aerodrome used for initial public pools. (coinglass.com)

    Utility in practice

    VVV serves three main functions:

    1. Capacity access: stake to secure a share of daily API throughput for text, image, and code generation, without per-request fees while staked. (mta-sts.venice.ai)

    2. Agent autonomy: autonomous agents and third‑party apps can self-manage capacity by acquiring and staking VVV or by holding DIEM, allowing them to scale usage during busy periods and scale down later. (app.thebigwhale.io)

    3. Emissions yield: stakers earn newly issued tokens under the emission policy, creating an incentive aligned with platform utilization. Cooldowns apply when unstaking. (venice.ai)

    For reference, the official token contract on Base is 0xacfE6019Ed1A7Dc6f7B508C02d1b04ec88cC21bf, consistent across Venice’s documentation and public listings. (venice.ai)

    Assumptions

    • Supply is uncapped; modeled staking emissions for a 10-year horizon at the 8M/year rate after 2025-10-23.

      Official materials specify ongoing annual emissions with reductions over time; no max supply stated.

    • Airdrop claims modeled as linear over the 45-day window.

      Exact day-by-day claim distribution not published; total claimed (17.4M) and window dates are official.

    • Team vesting starts at TGE with 25% cliff and 24-month linear vest for the remainder.

      Explicitly stated in the TGE distribution announcement.

    • Liquidity deployment occurred at TGE as a full cliff release.

      Allocation listed in TGE distribution; launch-day market liquidity was required for trading.

    • Venice.ai Treasury (non-team portion of the 35M grant) is not modeled due to lack of an official unlock schedule.

      Distribution post specifies the grant but only provides explicit unlock mechanics for Team; to avoid over-assumption, treasury release is omitted from the circulating release chart.

    • Buyback-and-burn program reduces supply but is not modeled as a release mechanism.

      Task requires mechanisms through which tokens enter circulation; burns are net-negative supply events.
