Token Unlocks & Vesting API
When locked crypto tokens vest into circulation, who they go to, and how much supply is still to come — live from DeFiLlama's open emissions dataset, no key. A token's price tells you what it costs today; its unlock schedule tells you the supply pressure ahead, the single biggest and most predictable overhang in crypto. When a large tranche of insider, private-sale or team tokens vests, it is fresh sell-side supply hitting a fixed amount of demand — and these dates are known in advance. A static "percent unlocked" number (which dilution APIs give) is only a snapshot; what a trader needs is the calendar: when is the next cliff, how many tokens, what share of total supply, and to whom. The protocols endpoint lists every token DeFiLlama tracks a schedule for (searchable). The next endpoint is the trading signal — the next upcoming cliff unlock for a token: its date, days away, token amount, the share of total supply it dilutes, the unlock type and the recipients (insiders, private sale, team, ecosystem), plus the unlocks after it. The schedule endpoint returns the fuller picture: total and max supply, the allocation by category with how much of each is already unlocked, the count of past and future events, the tokens still locked, and the upcoming events. The token-unlock / vesting-schedule cut — distinct from the tokenomics-and-dilution APIs (which give the static supply and FDV snapshot, not the dated unlock calendar) and from price and market-cap APIs. Amounts are in tokens and as a share of total supply; pair with any price API for the dollar value.
