XDC Network (XDC) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
As of October 16, 2026, 19.95 billion XDC have been released. The schedule is ongoing, with no final release date.
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.

What XDC does
XDC is used to pay for transfers and smart-contract actions. It also supports staking for masternodes and serves as a means of exchange in applications built on the network. These roles connect demand for the coin to activity on the chain: sending an asset, using an app, or running a validator all involve XDC in different ways. Network fees are designed to be low, though they are still fees paid in the native coin. (xdc.org)
At the mainnet’s start, 37.5 billion XDC were created and assigned to an initial wallet for distribution. The allocation plan set aside 15 billion for founders and the team, 10 billion for ecosystem development, 10 billion for early placement, and 2.5 billion for a contingency fund. The first two categories had stated release schedules rather than an immediate full release. (xinfin.org)
The initial allocation is only one part of the coin’s economic model. The network also issues rewards to participating nodes, while some tokens are removed through fee burning. As a result, supply changes over time rather than remaining equal to the amount created at launch. Staking has a practical role in this system: an operator must lock 10 million XDC to qualify to run a masternode, and rewards encourage nodes to keep the network operating. (xinfin.org)
Assumptions
XDC began with an approximately 37.5-billion-token pre-mine divided among team, ecosystem, contingency and pre-placement budgets, and its PoS network also creates rewards. The published team rate and ecosystem release cap do not establish dated payments; contingency spending, node subsidies and Surge incentive payments likewise remain unquantified or undated. The chart can show the genesis creation and estimated growth between dated total-supply observations, but those observations are net of burns and do not measure gross reward issuance. Future rewards remain open-ended, and the reported burn amount is only a documented lower bound.
- Founders and team: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Ecosystem development: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- Ecosystem-funded node subsidies: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
- Contingency fund: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Pre-placement and early distribution: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- PoS network rewards, including validator and foundation shares: Emission continues with no published future rate or end date.
- XDC Surge DeFi liquidity incentives: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
