Active Claim

An active claim is a token unlock currently in the committed or announced window — the period between the team's public announcement and on-chain execution. Active claims represent the most imminent and market-relevant supply changes.
TradFi parallel — Like a pending secondary offering where the pricing has been set and the shares are allocated but settlement has not yet occurred — the supply increase is imminent and known.

Key Takeaways

  • 01
    Active claims are unlocks in the committed or announced window — between team announcement and on-chain execution
  • 02
    Displayed in a dedicated section with a clock icon and distinct background in Supply Analytics, reflecting their time-sensitive nature
  • 03
    Represent the most market-relevant supply changes because they are imminent and confirmed, not estimates
  • 04
    Each active claim shows the token amount, claim percentage, expected date, and destination to enable impact assessment
  • 05
    Multiple active claims across different allocations are aggregated so investors can assess total near-term supply pressure

How It Works

Active claims are the most time-sensitive category in Tokenomist's supply tracking system. They represent claims that have moved past the whitepaper estimate stage and are now in the committed or announced window, meaning the team has confirmed both the amount and the intent to execute. The only remaining step is on-chain settlement. On the Tokenomist platform, active claims appear in a dedicated "Active Claims" section within Supply Analytics, distinguished by a clock icon and a visually distinct background color. This design choice reflects their urgency — active claims are the unlock events that matter most to traders and investors right now, because they represent supply changes that will occur within the near term. Each active claim displays the token amount, the claim percentage relative to total supply, the expected execution date, and the destination category. The practical importance of active claims lies in their market impact assessment. An active claim of 50,000 tokens on a project with 10 million circulating supply and $500,000 daily volume has very different implications than the same percentage on a project with $50 million daily volume. Tokenomist's Active Claims section aggregates all imminent claims for a token in one view, enabling quick assessment of total near-term supply pressure. For tokens like Hyperliquid, where multiple allocations may have active claims simultaneously, this aggregated view is essential for understanding the cumulative supply impact.

Real World Examples

Hyperliquid Simultaneous Active Claims
View →
Hyperliquid may have active claims from multiple allocation categories — such as team vesting and ecosystem rewards — running concurrently. Tokenomist's Active Claims section aggregates these, showing total imminent supply expansion and allowing traders to assess the combined impact on liquidity and price.
Hyperliquid High-Percentage Active Claim
View →
When a Hyperliquid active claim represents a significant percentage of circulating supply, Tokenomist highlights the claim percentage prominently. This helps investors quickly identify claims that could create meaningful sell pressure relative to the token's current trading volume.
Hyperliquid Active Claim Countdown
View →
Each active claim on the Hyperliquid Supply Analytics page includes a countdown to the expected execution date. This real-time countdown helps traders time their analysis and position adjustments around the imminent supply change.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a claim 'active' versus just 'upcoming'?
An upcoming claim based on the whitepaper schedule is an estimate — the timing and amount may change. An active claim has been confirmed by the team through a public announcement or commitment. It has moved past the estimate phase and is now in the execution window. On Tokenomist, active claims appear in their own section with a clock icon, separate from whitepaper-status upcoming unlocks.
How do I use active claims for trading decisions?
Compare the active claim amount and percentage against the token's circulating supply and daily trading volume. A claim representing 2% of supply on a thinly traded token has far greater price impact potential than the same percentage on a liquid market. Tokenomist displays all these metrics on the token page, allowing you to assess materiality and adjust positions during the active window.
Can multiple active claims exist for the same token?
Yes. Different allocation categories — team, investors, ecosystem fund, community rewards — can each have active claims simultaneously. Tokenomist aggregates all active claims in a single section within Supply Analytics so you can assess total imminent supply pressure rather than evaluating each allocation independently.
What happens after an active claim is executed on-chain?
Once the claim transaction is confirmed on-chain, Tokenomist updates the status from active to completed. The claim moves from the Active Claims section to the Claimed history table, which records the exact amount, timestamp, transaction hash, and destination address. The token's supply metrics are updated to reflect the new circulating supply.
