Filecoin: Vesting Program Ends, Cutting Gross Issuance by Roughly 75% - 15 Oct 2026

Filecoin's vesting program ends on October 15, 2026, cutting gross issuance of FIL by roughly 75%. The scheduled expiry of vesting schedules removes a large recurring source of new token supply and represents the largest supply change for the network since its mainnet launch.The mechanism is direct: vesting releases have been a structural source of gross FIL issuance, and their end removes that flow rather than reducing it gradually. With gross issuance down by roughly three quarters, the rate of new supply entering the market drops sharply on a known date.Because the change is scheduled rather than dependent on governance or usage growth, it functions as a dated supply-side repricing event. Investors can track the exact transition point, though net circulating supply still depends on other issuance components and burn activity, so the 75% figure applies to gross issuance alone.October 15, 2026 is when FIL's vesting program ends, cutting gross issuance by roughly 75%, the largest supply change since mainnet launch.It lands just as Filecoin Onchain Cloud and Fil One bring paid demand onchain.Read the full 2026 network update:
