LayerZero, Humanity Protocol, and GUNZ are all scheduled for major token unlocks in late March 2026. Here are the exact dates, amounts, and what traders should watch.
Three scheduled token unlocks totaling 485.1 million tokens are set to hit the market between March 20 and March 31, 2026. LayerZero ($ZRO), Humanity Protocol ($H), and GUNZ ($GUNZ) each have large tranches of previously locked tokens becoming available for circulation within an 11-day window at the end of the month.
The first unlock arrives on March 20, when LayerZero’s $ZRO token releases 25.7 million tokens. LayerZero is an established cross-chain messaging protocol that enables communication between different blockchains, and its unlock is the smallest of the three by raw count.
Five days later, on March 25, Humanity Protocol’s $H token follows with a 105.4 million token unlock, roughly four times the size of the ZRO event. Humanity Protocol is a comparatively newer project in the crypto space.
The largest unlock closes out the month. On March 31, GUNZ releases 354 million tokens, according to CryptoRank vesting data. That single event accounts for roughly 73% of the combined unlock volume across all three projects.
The compressed timing is notable. All three events fall within an 11-day stretch, concentrating potential new circulating supply into the final third of March. Traders tracking altcoin supply schedules, similar to those watching how institutional allocations are shifting toward crypto, will want these dates on their calendars.
At 354 million tokens, the GUNZ unlock is 3.4 times larger than Humanity Protocol’s 105.4 million and nearly 14 times the size of ZRO’s 25.7 million. But raw token counts alone do not determine market impact.
Token unlock events introduce selling pressure when early investors, team members, or ecosystem funds choose to liquidate their newly available holdings. The actual impact depends on who holds the unlocked tokens and whether their vesting schedules have been publicly disclosed.
A project with tokens unlocking primarily to ecosystem reserves or development funds may see less immediate sell pressure than one releasing tokens to early-stage venture investors who are sitting on significant unrealized gains. Without detailed breakdowns of recipient wallets for each unlock, traders should treat these events as supply-side risk factors rather than guaranteed sell signals.
LayerZero, as a more established protocol, may see different holder behavior than newer projects like Humanity Protocol or GUNZ. Mature projects tend to have broader token distribution, which can dilute the impact of any single unlock event. In a broader market where traditional finance and crypto are increasingly converging, token supply dynamics remain one of the clearest on-chain signals available to traders.
Here is the full schedule at a glance:
Traders typically monitor on-chain wallet activity in the days surrounding scheduled unlocks. Large transfers from known vesting wallets to exchange deposit addresses can signal that recipients intend to sell. Conversely, tokens that remain in non-exchange wallets after the unlock date suggest holders are not rushing to liquidate.
Price action in the 48 hours before and after each unlock date tends to reflect market expectations. If selling pressure is already priced in through gradual declines leading up to the event, the actual unlock may produce less volatility than anticipated. The reverse is also possible, as macro conditions and broader sentiment can amplify or mute the effects of supply-side events.
With the ZRO unlock arriving first on March 20, it may serve as a gauge for how the market absorbs scheduled supply increases this month. The two larger events on March 25 and March 31 follow in quick succession, leaving little room for the market to reset between unlocks.
