Worldcoin announced that starting on 7/24, $WLD ’s daily unlock amount would be cut by 43%, and Worldcoin jumped 3%

According to Worldcoin’s latest official tokenomics announcement, starting on July 24, 2026, the daily unlock amount of the WLD token will be significantly reduced by 43%, dropping from the previous daily amount of approximately 5.1 million tokens to 2.9 million tokens. The official emphasized that this adjustment will maintain a daily “linear unlock” and will have no “unlock cliff.”

The supply side of the Worldcoin (Worldcoin) ecosystem is about to see a significant easing. According to the latest official announcement, the WLD token will reach a crucial tokenomics milestone on July 24, 2026—under the existing unlock schedule, the overall WLD daily unlock rate will be automatically reduced by 43%.

Community unlock amount is cut in half; insists on “no unlock cliff”

This reduction plan covers all of WLD’s major token allocation segments. The official announcement lays out the specific unlock changes after July 24, 2026:

• World Community Tokens: Based on immutable on-chain smart contracts, the unlock rate for the community share will be lowered significantly by 50%, from 3.2 million WLD per day to 1.6 million WLD per day.
• TFH investor and team tokens: The unlock rate for the development team Tools for Humanity (TFH) and its investors will be reduced by 32%, from 1.9 million WLD per day to 1.3 million WLD per day.
• Overall impact: Combining the two adjustments above, the total daily unlock amount of WLD will fall from approximately 5.1 million tokens to approximately 2.9 million tokens, for an overall reduction of 43%.

The official particularly emphasized in the announcement that, unlike many other projects, WLD’s release will continue to follow a “daily linear unlock” pattern, “no unlock cliff.” This means the market won’t face panic from a one-time massive token unlock dump on a specific date, which helps maintain price stability.

Nearly half already unlocked! Snapshot of WLD’s current supply situation

Looking back at the WLD tokenomics design, its total supply cap is set at 10 billion tokens. Of this, as much as 75% is allocated to the world community, while the remaining 25% is allocated to the team, TFH investors, and a small amount of TFH reserve funds.

Since July 24, 2023, when it officially launched and initially unlocked 500 million community tokens, the remaining 9.5 billion tokens have entered a 15-year continuous daily unlock schedule (during which the team and investors voluntarily extended the lock-up period in 2024).

According to the latest official statistics as of April 10, 2026, the unlock progress of WLD has reached a new stage:

• Currently, 4.9 billion WLD (49% of the total 10 billion supply) are in an unlocked state.
• Among these 4.9 billion unlocked tokens, about 3.3 billion are actually circulating in the market.

With the “production cut” of up to 43% in July about to arrive, the additional circulating inflation pressure from newly unlocked tokens for WLD will be significantly weakened. This is undoubtedly a strong boost for long-term holders and participants in the Worldcoin ecosystem.

Driven by this incentive, Worldcoin surged by 3%, temporarily at $0.28.
