Unlock Schedule
ZeroLend (ZERO) 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.
Assumptions
ZeroLend's contract initially minted 100 billion ZERO, allocated among private investors, an airdrop, liquidity, incentives, the treasury, advisors and the team. Published terms support upfront unlocks and modeled linear vesting, including team vesting into 2029; the timing of incentive payments and treasury spending remains unresolved. The chart can show the initial mint separately from allocation unlocks, but its monthly vesting dates include estimates and it cannot reconcile October 2026 net supply without a verified cumulative burn total.
- ZERO Lending and Borrowing Incentives — 20% of maximum supply: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
- Treasury — 5% of maximum supply: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- KuCoin BurningDrop ZERO rewards: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Gate Startup ZERO distribution: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
