Filecoin's genesis token vesting plan is about to end, and the annual unlock volume will decrease by 68 million FIL.

BlockBeats news, October 11: Filecoin is about to conclude its six-year genesis token vesting plan, and the regular release of approximately 68.3 million FIL per year will cease, with block rewards becoming the primary ongoing source of its new supply.

According to calculations based on Lotus supply accounting code and the latest Filfox mining data, the total annual new supply from token vesting releases and block rewards is expected to decline by about 77%, from 88.9 million FIL per year to 20.6 million FIL per year. The post-vesting data is annualized based on the output over the most recent 24 hours and is intended only for comparison of the current annualized supply rate, not as a forecast of next year's block rewards.

According to Filecoin's published token distribution plan, Protocol Labs (including its team and contributors) was allocated 300 million FIL, and the Filecoin Foundation was allocated 100 million FIL. The combined six-year distribution plan releases approximately 66.7 million FIL per year. Lotus's supply accounting code also includes an additional 9.8 million FIL in the same six-year vesting category, bringing the planned annual release to approximately 68.3 million FIL. The relevant code uses the network launch block height (liftoff epoch) as the starting point and calculates the vesting plan over six periods of 365 days each. Therefore, based on Filecoin mainnet parameters and recorded launch block data, the plan is expected to conclude on October 14, 2026.
