Aligned: the six-month cliff releases, and monthly vesting steps up
How big is this against the actual market?
Many times a day’s trading volume. A market this size has no routine way to absorb it.
Before any of this arrives, selling $100,000 of Aligned already costs 47.06% — Illiquid at this size, measured on Base on 2026-09-24. See the full exit measurement →
What we will not tell you: what the price does. An unlock is a quantity of tokens arriving against a market of a measurable size, and that is the whole of what this page computes. Everyone who tells you an unlock is bearish is giving you a forecast dressed as a fact — often about a token whose entire float already changes hands in an afternoon.
The six-month cliff on two of Aligned's allocations ends on this date. The Ecosystem allocation (18.00% of supply, of which 3.23% was released at the token generation event) and Future Provisions (16.61%, of which 40.24% was released at TGE) are both locked for six months from TGE and then vest linearly over twenty-four months.
TGE was 20 August 2026, so month six lands on 20 February 2027. On that date the monthly release steps up from roughly 51.4 million ALIGN to roughly 160.7 million, and the two cliffed categories begin their linear streams.
Team (23.50%) and Investor (19.71%) allocations are on a twelve-month cliff and do not enter circulation until 20 August 2027. Aligned states that explicitly, and it is worth stating here too: this event is not the team unlock, and several calendars conflate the two.
ALIGN releases monthly on the 20th. Smaller tranches before this one fall on 20 October and 20 November 2026 (about 63.7 million each) and 20 December 2026 and 20 January 2027 (about 51.4 million each).

Checked against those sources by a person on 24 September 2026. A curated calendar’s only claim to trust is that somebody looked.
