🔍 Vesting 101:  A Key to Sustainable Growth

Vesting schedules are critical in crypto launches—they align long-term incentives between projects and investors. Here’s why they matter:

📖Common Terms about Vesting:
1️⃣ TGE (Token Generation Event)
- Definition: The moment when a project officially releases or mints its tokens for the first time.
- Example: Project X announces that its TGE is on July 1st — this is when X's token ($X) will be available for claim or trading on exchange.

2️⃣ Cliff
- Definition: A waiting period before any tokens are released to team, investors, or advisors.
- Example: Unlock X% at TGE, cliff X months, then linear vested in X months (25% each).
👉 A 3-month cliff means no tokens are released for the first X months after the TGE.

3️⃣Linear Vesting
- Definition: Tokens are released gradually and evenly over a set period.

+ Daily Vesting: XX% at TGE, then XXX% unlocked daily in the period of XXX days. 
👉 Explanation:
At TGE (Day 0), You receive XX% of your total token allocation right at the time the token launches.
From Day XX to Day 160: XXX% of your total token amount is unlocked each day.
XXX% × XXX days = 80%, which completes the full vesting.

+ Monthly Vesting: XX% at TGE, then XX% every month in X moths. 
👉 Explanation:
TGE - XX% unlock, Apr 01, 2024
Next vesting X - XX% unlock, May 01, 2024
Next vesting X - XX% unlock, June 01, 2024
Next vesting X - XX% unlock, July 01, 2024
Next vesting X - XX% unlock, August 01, 2024

4️⃣ Token Lock-Up
Definition: The portion of tokens that cannot be transferred or sold for a certain period.
Example: Team tokens are usually locked up for 12-24 months or more to gain the trust for the long-term growth.

Having good vesting schedule is essential for web3 projects, which help:
✅ Prevent Market Dumps – Gradual token release reduces sell pressure, protecting price stability.
✅ Reward True Supporters – Early backers benefit from sustained growth, not short-term flippers.
✅ Ensure Project Commitment – Teams and investors share the same timeline for success.

Vesting isn’t a restriction—it’s a strategic tool for healthier ecosystems.
