Unlock Schedule
Venom (VENOM) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Venom (VENOM) 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 VENOM 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
Venom tokenomics are designed around use, security, and ecosystem growth:
- Utility: VENOM pays gas and storage fees, acts as the base asset for DeFi pairs, and is wrapped (WVENOM) for smart‑contract‑friendly flows. It also secures the network via staking, whether directly by validators or indirectly through delegated pools. (docs.venom.foundation)
- Supply framework: Public materials from exchanges and listings have referenced a total or maximum supply in the 7.2–8.0 billion range over time. Early listing notices cited 7.2 billion, while more recent pages show an 8.0 billion max supply figure. Distribution has typically been described across ecosystem growth, community incentives, the foundation/treasury, validators, market liquidity, early backers, team, and a small public allocation. Exact live numbers can change with emissions, unlocks, and governance. (okx.com)
- Staking and governance: Staking aligns incentives by rewarding validators and delegators for securing the chain and processing messages. Governance processes shape parameters such as gas costs, shard thresholds, and validator election rules through on‑chain configuration and validator consensus. (docs.venom.foundation)
In practice, the forces that most influence long‑term VENOM price are network adoption (transactions, active apps, real users), staking participation, liquidity across venues, and scheduled unlocks that expand circulating supply. Those fundamentals, not short‑term moves, matter most when evaluating Venom tokenomics. (venom.foundation)
Assumptions
- Genesis/TGE date modeled as 2024-03-25; monthly unlock events occur on the 25th.
Exchange listings and unlock reports align to the 25th; OKX listing schedule shows trading at 08:00 UTC on 2024-03-25.
- No ongoing PoS block subsidy modeled.
The Venom site states a Zero Emission Policy; validator compensation is via transaction fees (see Gas and Fees docs) rather than new-token issuance.
- Total supply taken as 7.2B VENOM with 100% allocated per whitepaper table.
Official listing materials and the whitepaper specify 7.2B initial supply; some third-party aggregators later display an 8.0B max supply without a primary governance/source link.
- Linear vesting is interpreted as even monthly distribution across the stated period.
Whitepaper provides month counts for each vest; modeling uses equal monthly unlocks beginning with the start_date month and concluding in the end_date month.
