FDV vs unlock schedule
Green line = realised FDV (close × total supply, since TGE). Amber bars from x-axis = cumulative supply unlocked (right axis, 0-100%). Future price unknown — line stops at "today"; bars continue forward.
Allocation & vesting
Per-bucket share of the 10.00B fixed supply, with cliff and vesting curve.

Year-1 cliff: 51% of supply wakes up
- On TGE day ETHGas locked away just over half the supply behind a single 12-month cliff: 27% investors + 22% team + 2% advisors.
- On 2027-01-21 ~510M GWEI hits circulation in one block (10% of each locked bucket). At the May 2026 ATH that would be ~$73M of newly liquid supply.
- From day 366 onwards the remaining 90% bleeds linearly over 24 months — roughly 1.9% of total supply emits monthly from locked buckets alone.
- Compounding: ecosystem (31%) drips ~0.26%/month from day one, community (10%) drips ~0.21%/month. Post-cliff regime ≈ 2.4%/month supply pressure until early 2029.

Known data gaps
- CryptoRank re-buckets allocation (Ecosystem 31% / Team & Shareholders 22.5% / Treasury 18% / Community Airdrop 12.8%) — conflicts with official Foundation framing (31/27/22/10/8/2).
- Dropstab models investor/team vesting as simple 24mo linear — official KuCoin announcement specifies 10% at cliff + 24mo linear on remainder.
- No public-sale price disclosed. Seed price not published.
