Two Token Unlocks This Week

Despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East, the crypto markets, which started the new week with gains, will see two crypto assets undergoing token unlocks this week.

What is a token unlock? Unlocking a token is the process of releasing previously locked tokens into circulation for founders, investors, or the treasury according to a specific schedule. This process is carried out according to a pre-designed roadmap from the project's inception.

Token unlocks help manage the entry of supply into the market and allow projects to gradually raise capital. They also reward contributors to the network over time. This structure builds trust and encourages long-term commitment.

However, token unlocks also carry some risks. If the process is not well managed, it can cause price fluctuations, and sudden increases in supply can lead to sell-offs and weaken investor confidence.
Humanity Protocol (H)

Humanity (H) will unlock 105.36 million tokens on April 25th. The tokens are worth $10.98 million and represent 4.02% of the released supply.

The team will allocate the released supply in three ways. The ecosystem fund will receive 50 million H. Additionally, Humanity will allocate 42.86 million altcoins to authentication rewards and 12.50 million altcoins to the foundation's operations treasury.

Humanity is a decentralized identity protocol that verifies the identities of real human users without disclosing their personal data, using biometric palm recognition, zero-knowledge proofs, and blockchain technology. The protocol features its own Proof of Humanity (PoH) consensus mechanism.
Plasma (XPL)

The platform will unlock 88.8 million tokens on April 25th. These tokens, representing 3.83% of the total supply, are worth $9.2 million.

Plasma is a decentralized Layer 2 scaling protocol that securely handles high-volume transactions without overloading the main chain, using smart contracts and Merkle tree-based linking mechanisms. The protocol has its own hierarchical child chain architecture.
