Less popular unlocks

Aside from the significant token unlocks, there are also some smaller projects that anticipate unlocking tokens between May 5-12. The smaller unlocks might not create a lot of hype in the market but might also affect their respective token prices.

Berachain (BERA) has 21.42% of their tokens released and will be sharing 10 million BERA tokens soon. That is approximately $29.53 million. This is 1.99% of all of the locked BERA tokens.

Heroes of Mavia (MAVIA) has unlocked 17.66% of its unlocks with 10.77 million MAVIA tokens set to be released. This amounts to approximately $2.38 million. This is 4.19% of the locked supply.
