Supply release: when does the rest arrive?
No maximum supplyThere is no release date — SOL has no maximum supply.
New SOL is issued indefinitely under the network's own rules, so there is no point at which issuance finishes and no final total to count down to. Long-run scarcity depends on the issuance rate — and on any burning that offsets it — rather than on a hard cap.
Counting SOL that already exists but is not yet circulating, the market capitalisation at today's price would be about 1.1× what it is now.
