An unlock calendar is a schedule, not a forecast

How to read release events without assuming every unlocked token will be sold.

The mechanism

An allocation schedule describes when restrictions change. It does not independently establish who will transact, whether a release is claimed immediately or how a market will respond. Some schedules are enforced on-chain; others depend on operational commitments.

Put it into practice

For each entry, record the asset, amount, destination, time basis and evidence of enforcement. Separate a scheduled vesting release from an actual transfer. If a contract supports cancellation, administrators or discretionary claims, make those controls explicit. A calendar is useful because it organises verifiable events—not because it can predict a future price.
