Tria Tokenomics Update: Team and Investor Lock-Ups Extended, Community Releases Accelerated

Tria Foundation, August 2026

In February 2026, Tria Foundation published Tria Tokenomics, setting out TRIA's supply, allocation, and vesting parameters. In the six months since, Tria's community, spend, and protocol activity has grown at a strong rate. Accounts, transactions, and volume across Spend, Trading, Perpetuals, Tria Travel, and Earn, along with the number of participants accruing rewards, have each expanded beyond the assumptions underlying the monthly release amounts. The Foundation is therefore revising the release schedule.

1. Extended lockup for Team and Investors

The February publication described Core Contributors and Investor allocations as fully locked at TGE and subject to delayed, multi-year vesting. That cliff has been extended by a further twelve months. First unlock for these categories moves from February 2027 to February 2028, and follows a 2-year vesting that completes in February 2030. This change does not impact Legion round investors.

2. Acceleration of Community tokens

Community Allocation releases scheduled across 2027 and 2028 have been brought forward into the second half of 2026. In aggregate, 336,924,781 TRIA, equivalent to 3.37% of total supply, has been brought forward. This constitutes an acceleration within the existing allocation rather than an increase to it. Each token brought forward has been deducted from a later month within the same allocation. The Community allocation remains 41.04% of total supply. No additional tokens have been created.

3. Token unlocks move to the 30th of each month

All token unlocks now release on the 30th of each month, replacing the prior 3rd-of-month schedule. The change applies across every category, including those otherwise unchanged, and standardizes operations. The first release under the revised cadence is 30 August 2026.

Ecosystem impact

The February framework set out a clear commitment: the largest share of TRIA should accrue to the participants who use and extend the network. Adoption since then has outpaced the projections that schedule was built against. Tria has scaled materially faster, and the release schedule is being brought into line with the size the network has reached.

Three considerations informed the revision.

Distribution should track participation. Rewards accrued through spend, trade, earn, staking, and ecosystem programs are being earned faster than the original monthly releases distribute them. Bringing releases forward closes that gap and returns value to participants nearer the point at which it was generated.

The community position is not diluted. The Community allocation is unchanged at 41.04%. It remains the largest single allocation and remains larger than the Core Contributors and Investor allocations combined. The acceleration is funded entirely from later months of the same pool, and no other category contributes to or benefits from it.

Sequencing carries as much weight as size. Throughout 2026 and 2027, all tokens entering circulation originate from the community, ecosystem, and foundation allocations. Investor and Core Contributor allocations receive no distribution until February 2028. Extending the insider lockup preserves that ordering rather than compressing it.

Circulating supply is modestly higher across the three months to October 2026, as releases align with accrued rewards, and materially lower thereafter. Under the revised schedule, supply remains 54.47% until January 2028.

All remaining parameters published in February stand and stay unchanged.
