NEAR Protocol Unlock Schedule
Validators are rewarded a target number of NEAR each epoch, set so that on an annualized basis issuance is 2.5 percent of total supply, paid at that rate regardless of fee revenue (NEAR documentation, September 2026). We have not recorded scheduled unlocks for NEAR Protocol.

Supply and emission
Validators are rewarded a target number of NEAR each epoch, set so that on an annualized basis issuance is 2.5 percent of total supply, paid at that rate regardless of fee revenue (NEAR documentation, September 2026). Transaction fees are burned, so net issuance is 2.5 percent minus whatever fees the network burns, which is why the project describes a deflationary trajectory when activity is high. As of September 2026 NEAR states that its token supply is fully unlocked, so no vesting schedule remains.
