3 Token Unlocks for the Fourth Week of April
This week, three major projects—Scroll, Plume Network, and AltLayer—are unlocking millions of tokens, which could impact market liquidity and investor sentiment.
Token unlocks have the power to move markets. They inject fresh liquidity, trigger price swings, and influence investors’ feelings about a project. During these events, projects release previously locked tokens, making them available for public trading.
This week, three major projects are stepping into the spotlight—Scroll (SCR), Plume Network (PLUME), and Altlayer (ALT)—as they prepare to release a wave of tokens into circulation.
Scroll (SCR)
Unlock Date: April 22
Number of Tokens to be Unlocked: 40 million SCR (4% of Total Supply)
Current Circulating Supply: 190 million
Total supply: 1 billion SCR
Scroll is a Layer 2 solution that boosts Ethereum’s scalability and efficiency. It uses zkRollup technology to lower transaction costs and increase throughput, helping ease issues like high gas fees and congestion.
On April 22, 40 million SCR tokens, valued at about $9.2 million, will be unlocked. This unlock could introduce added liquidity to the market and maybe renewed interest in Scroll.
