Where the schedule comes from

We work the dates out from ZKsync’s own vesting rules, checked against these sources on November 9, 2026:

These allocations have no fixed release dates, so they are left out of the dates and the curve above:

ZK Nation gives the lock-up by month, not by day; the 17th is the launch anniversary.

The docs cap monthly releases at 0.8% of supply (168M ZK) yet also end them in June 2028, which needs about 173M a month; we show the even split.

Questions people ask

On or around November 17, 2026: 173.4M ZK, about 1.6% of the circulating supply, mostly to investors.

About 2.08B ZK in 12 scheduled unlocks, worth about $19.2M at the November 9, 2026 price.

21.0B ZK by its vesting schedule, of which about 11.0B were circulating on November 9, 2026.

Not necessarily. Unlocked tokens can be sold, and large unlocks to investors and early contributors are watched for that reason, but recipients often hold or stake, and markets usually know the date well in advance.

Other upcoming unlocks

Also on the schedule: Sui, Ondo, Pyth Network, Avalanche, Ethena, Worldcoin, Celestia and ZetaChain.
