Worldcoin’s development team has outlined a change to the WLD token’s emission schedule, saying it will cut the daily unlocking rate by about 43% from late July. The project described the adjustment as a way to gradually ease structural selling pressure, with on-chain contracts automatically updating the flow of newly unlocked tokens to the community, team and early investors.
In a blog post on its official site, Worldcoin said that from July 24, 2026, the aggregate unlock rate will fall from roughly 5.1 million WLD per day to about 2.9 million WLD per day. The project said the change is reflected through the token’s on-chain contract mechanics, which adjust the unlocking flow automatically.
Worldcoin reported that a total of 4.9 billion WLD—49% of the token’s 10 billion maximum supply—has already been unlocked. Of that amount, approximately 3.3 billion WLD is in actual circulation.
The project emphasized that WLD follows a continuous linear unlocking mechanism, with “no one-time large unlocks (cliffs).” It said the scheduled rate change is “due to established on-chain contract arrangements” rather than a discretionary decision by the foundation or contributors.
Worldcoin said the reduced unlock rate will affect stakeholder allocations differently:
In aggregate, Worldcoin said daily unlocks drop from about 5.1 million WLD to roughly 2.9 million WLD, framing the move as intended “to gradually reduce selling pressure” as more of the supply becomes liquid.
Worldcoin described the change as a “tokenomics milestone,” arguing that a predictable, linearly slowing unlock schedule is preferable to either persistently high emissions or lumpy cliff events that can shock markets.
For traders and existing holders, the near-term effect is described as mechanical: a 43% cut in the daily unlock rate reduces the amount of new WLD that can reach secondary markets each day, all else equal. However, Worldcoin also noted that nearly half of the total supply is already unlocked and that about 3.3 billion WLD is circulating, meaning any relief from slower future emissions must be weighed against the existing base of tokens that can already be sold.
Worldcoin said the ultimate market reaction will depend on whether demand for WLD grows faster than the slowed unlock curve. It pointed to potential sources of demand including governance, staking, ecosystem incentives and speculative flows. If activity around the Worldcoin protocol and its World ID infrastructure accelerates, the new schedule could help absorb selling and support price. If adoption stalls, the project said slower unlocks alone may not be enough to prevent further dilution for existing holders.

Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
