BlockDAG's NEW Token Launch: Unlock Terms Remain Unclear
BlockDAG has announced that its presale closes on Monday, October 5, with a 150 billion cap for NEW BDAG. But how much of this upcoming token will be unlocked when trading starts?
The official material reviewed by BlockDAG News gives the allocation structure, but does not establish how much NEW tokens will be unlocked or circulating at launch.
According to BlockDAG's tokenomics page and August 2026 FAQ, the 150B NEW BDAG supply is split into four buckets:
BucketNEW BDAGShareExisting holders50B33.33%Mining rewards50B33.33%Presale25B16.67%Ecosystem25B16.67%Total150B100%
The FAQ says no separate team allocation appears in the split, but the tokenomics page still lists older figures for a 50B presale and a 75B miner allocation.
But what does it mean to be 'unlocked' versus 'allocated'? The FAQ explains that 'allocation is not the same as an unlock or circulating supply.'
