Zebec Network (ZBCN) 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 distribution
ZBCN has a stated maximum supply of 100 billion tokens. The 2024 migration exchanged each original ZBC for ten ZBCN without creating an extra allocation through the swap. Zebec reported that its final scheduled token unlock took place in March 2026, ending the release schedule for early allocations. (zebec.io)
What ZBCN does
ZBCN’s main roles are tied to Zebec’s products and governance:
- Product fees: Zebec says employers using its payroll and disbursement products pay service fees in ZBCN. A stablecoin balance can be converted to ZBCN when a fee is assessed.
- Governance: Holders can vote on proposals after community discussion.
- Platform benefits: Holding or staking ZBCN can provide access to selected fee reductions, features, and rewards.
- Card use: Supported Zebec Cards can be funded with ZBCN for spending through the card program. (zebec.io)
ZBCN is not the base transaction-fee token for Solana. Solana network transactions are paid for in SOL, while ZBCN serves the product roles described above. This distinction matters because Zebec operates across more than one blockchain. (solana.com)
Zebec also runs a program that buys ZBCN using revenue from products such as payroll and cards. Its July 2026 account says the acquired tokens are held in a buyback treasury wallet and with Uphold Institutional. Earlier token burns were paused through a DAO decision, leaving buybacks as a separate treasury activity. (zebec.io)
Assumptions
Zebec Network has a fixed supply of 100 billion ZBCN, all minted at launch in March 2022 as 10 billion ZBC and swapped 1:10 into ZBCN in 2024. The tokens were released through vesting: 50% Community & Rewards over four years to March 2026, 20% Contributors, 9.28% Seed and 10.97% Private after a 6-month lockup then three years (to about September 2025), 4% Market Making over three years, and 5.74% Public Sale. The split of the locked public-sale remainder (about 5.58 billion tokens, locked for 6 or 12 months) is not published, so it has no dated amounts. The chart shows the launch mint and the estimated monthly vesting by allocation, with dates built from the stated lockup and vesting lengths; only a small amount (about 1.2 million tokens) appears to have been burned.
- Public Sale: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
