Vesting Periods are predetermined timeframes during which an asset, often tokens or shares, is gradually released to its recipient. This mechanism is commonly used in initial coin offerings (ICOs) and employee compensation plans to prevent immediate large-scale selling and align long-term incentives. The gradual release ensures that recipients remain invested in the project’s success over time.
