The route starts with a curated calendar because the useful signal is pressure, recipient mix and timing. A live adapter will only arrive if it actually improves quality.

Priority watchlist
High / Apr 2
Large near-term unlock in an asset where incentive flow already matters heavily.
Medium / Apr 15
Relevant unlock for a layer two still consolidating distribution and liquidity.
Medium / Apr 12
What matters is where foundation and contributor supply goes, not only the gross size.
Medium / Apr 16
Smaller supply percentage than peers, but the dollar unlock is still large enough to move sentiment.
Category density
Layer 1
3L1 still carries large tickets with a wider cadence.
Layer 2
4The densest unlock calendar still sits in L2 names.
DeFi
2DeFi matters through narrative and incentive pressure.
Infra
1Infra is lighter in count, but treasury flows still matter.
Recipient mix

Largest near-term pressure
Ethena leads the defensive read by size, timing and recipient mix.
Investor and team unlocks
When investors or team are the main recipients, the radar should read as potential distribution pressure, not as a simple calendar event.
Useful and maintainable radar
The surface prioritizes unlocks with enough size and context instead of inflating the calendar with minor noise.
Unlock watchlist
| Token | Project | Date | Category | Unlock | USD | Recipients | Pressure | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ENA | Ethena | Apr 2 | DeFi | 4.7% | $118.0M | investors, treasury | High (65) | Large near-term unlock in an asset where incentive flow already matters heavily. |
| SEI | Sei | Apr 10 | Layer 1 | 2.9% | $72.0M | foundation, team | Low (41) | The read depends more on absorption pace than on the unlock headline. |
| APT | Aptos | Apr 12 | Layer 1 | 2.4% | $154.0M | foundation, team | Medium (59) | What matters is where foundation and contributor supply goes, not only the gross size. |
| STRK | Starknet | Apr 15 | Layer 2 | 3.8% | $126.0M | investors, team | Medium (61) | Relevant unlock for a layer two still consolidating distribution and liquidity. |
| ARB | Arbitrum | Apr 16 | Layer 2 | 1.2% | $178.0M | investors, team | Medium (55) | Smaller supply percentage than peers, but the dollar unlock is still large enough to move sentiment. |
| EIGEN | EigenLayer | Apr 22 | DeFi | 1.1% | $66.0M | team, community | Low (32) | Not the biggest cliff, but it lands in a narrative where the market already discounts a lot of growth. |
| IMX | Immutable | Apr 25 | Infra | 1.6% | $84.0M | foundation, treasury | Low (39) | More of a treasury-discipline read than a pure momentum event. |
| OP | Optimism | Apr 30 | Layer 2 | 1.8% | $96.0M | investors, treasury | Low (41) | Mid-size unlock with real impact if it lands into weak L2 rotation. |
| SUI | Sui | May 1 | Layer 1 | 2.1% | $138.0M | foundation, team | Medium (53) | Pressure is not extreme, but the calendar remains relevant due to size and regularity. |
| ZK | ZKsync | May 8 | Layer 2 | 2.6% | $91.0M | foundation, community | Low (43) | More important for distribution structure than for raw size alone. |
Serious fallback
The radar starts with a local curated calendar so it does not depend on opaque or paid APIs. The next phase is adding a live adapter only if it materially improves quality.
Not trading theatre
The useful read is supply, recipient, size and timing. The route does not try to turn an unlock into a price call.
Risk frame
Unlock pressure is more useful when read as a distribution and structural risk event, not as a headline alone.
Open Risk Lab ->Protocol layer
Use protocol context when an unlock belongs to a stack that still lacks clean category context.
Open Protocol Compass ->Governance
Some unlocks matter because of treasury policy and governance behavior more than because of raw size.
