Kite AI unlock trackers disagree on the cliff

Public unlock trackers disagree on the Kite AI (KITE) cliff. The project-supplied path that prints token counts is a month-end maximum, and the step from its October 2026 line to its November 2026 line is 1,108,970,100 KITE. Calendars checked on November 1, 2026 instead print 153.33 million, about 180.4 million, 203.17 million or 670 million KITE. Falcon Finance calendars have split the same way on another unlock.

Kite AI Ltd sets the rule in its MiCA white paper: "The team and investors are subject to a 1-year cliff with a 4 year unlock." The same field says 30% of the ecosystem and community allocation, and 60% of the module allocation, unlock at launch, with the balance of each on a four-year linear vest. Supply is capped at 10 billion KITE, and circulating supply at launch is put at 27% of the cap. The admission-to-trading field is November 17, 2025, while a later section says the launch was expected in November 2025. The tokenomics page gives the shares, ecosystem and community 48%, investors 12%, modules 20%, and team, advisors and early contributors 20%, and describes multi-year vesting while leaving the cliff day and the token count off the page.

A supply endpoint on the Kite AI domain read 2,627,076,408 KITE on November 1, 2026, and the same host's supply reading returned 10,000,000,000. Upbit's guide says the project team supplied the month-end schedule of estimated maximum circulation: 2,568,106,314 KITE for October 2026 and 3,677,076,414 for November 2026. The live endpoint already sits 58,970,094 KITE above the October line, so the 1,108,970,100 KITE gap is a full-month ceiling.

Where the public unlock trackers diverge

Blockworks shows a November 3, 2026 cliff of 203.17 million KITE, split as 66.67 million ecosystem and community, 55.56 million team and advisors, 47.62 million modules and 33.33 million investors, and valued on that page at $24.95 million. Its allocation table still shows team and investors at zero unlocked, out of 2.00 billion and 1.20 billion. Notes labelled Project Documents put a three-year linear vest on the team after a one-year cliff, against the white paper's four-year unlock.

CoinLaunch also marks November 3, 2026, at 153.33 million KITE, about $18.96 million and 1.5% of max supply, split as 70 million ecosystem and community, 16.67 million modules, 41.67 million team and 25 million investors, with team and investors still at zero unlocked. CoinMarketCap's detail feed, updated November 1, 2026, dates the next unlock to December 1, 2026, at about 180.4 million KITE, 1.8% of the cap and about $22.1 million. An October 17 CryptoTicker count had put around 1.11 billion KITE in one early-November tranche and had read CoinMarketCap as marking November 1. The November 1 feed shows the smaller December print.

Odaily on November 1, 2026 lists a Kite AI unlock of 670 million tokens, about $76.84 million, under a headline of 27.9% of circulating supply. TokenPost carried that weekly list on October 31, 2026. Tokenomist's dashboard, updated November 1, 2026 at 08:07 UTC, lists a seven-day KITE cliff of $79.15 million and 27.7%, a table emission of $82.82 million and 27.95%, and an upcoming value of $396.59 million and 87.11%. Its token page FAQ, timestamped 08:11 UTC, puts the next unlock on November 3, 2026 for ecosystem and community and unlocked supply at 2,391,196,012 KITE, or 23.91%, two tokens under Upbit's July 2026 line of 2,391,196,014.

What a fund can actually reconcile

One vendor budget is about 203 million KITE on November 3, team and investor slices included, while that same Blockworks table still shows those buckets locked. The weekly list budgets 670 million. Treating the Upbit lines as one cliff budgets 1,108,970,100 KITE across November. Kamino's KMNO vest already showed a fixed schedule and a split calendar describing one day two ways, and Celestia's contributor vest is the cleaner case, where the issuer's end date is the date on the page. Kite AI Ltd has published the rule, the shares and a month-end maximum, and left the single-day cliff to the vendors.

CoinMarketCap's pair feed lists Binance among KITE venues. A climb toward Upbit's November line of 3,677,076,414 by month-end would mean the month-scale gap was the object that mattered. A move of roughly 150 million to 203 million around November 3, then a drift, would fit the smaller cliff models and leave the 670 million figure to a wider window. The check is the endpoint, read against each vendor, rather than any tracker date adopted as Kite AI's own calendar.
