Unvested Token Supply

Definition

Unvested token supply refers to digital assets that have been allocated but are not yet freely transferable or usable by their recipients. This portion of a cryptocurrency’s total supply is subject to a vesting schedule, meaning it is locked and released gradually over a predetermined period or upon meeting specific conditions. Such mechanisms are commonly used to align the long-term incentives of team members, advisors, or early investors with the project’s success. It helps prevent immediate selling pressure and promotes sustained commitment to the ecosystem.
