"% of supply" is the share of circulating supply the trackers showed when we checked, except STRK, where Starknet's own docs give it as a share of total supply. Amounts are rounded. Exact hours differ between trackers and some list a date a day off, so check the source on the day. Already done this month: APT (Oct 11), SEI (Oct 13), STRK and ARB (Oct 15).
The moon column is our thing: it shows the real moon phase on each date (at noon UTC). It's there because we like it, not because the moon moves prices.
What's a token unlock?
Most crypto projects don't hand out all their tokens on day one. Tokens set aside for the team, early investors, and the foundation are locked up and released on a schedule, often a slice every month. An unlock is the day one of those slices becomes free to move and sell.
Why people watch them
An unlock adds supply. If the people getting the tokens bought in cheap, some of them may sell, and that can weigh on the price around the unlock. It doesn't always happen. Plenty of unlocks pass quietly, especially small ones or ones the market already expected. That's why size matters: an unlock worth 3% of circulating supply is a much bigger deal than one worth 0.5%.
How to read the table
- Date is the UTC day the tokens unlock. In US time zones some of these land the evening before.
- Amount is the number of tokens, not dollars, so it doesn't change with price.
- Who gets it matters. Team and investor tokens tend to get more attention than tokens going to a community fund.
