Vesting Schedule

Definition

A vesting schedule is a predetermined plan for releasing locked cryptocurrency tokens over a set period. This mechanism controls the gradual distribution of tokens to team members, advisors, or early investors, preventing a sudden influx of supply onto the market. Vesting schedules are designed to align the interests of core contributors with the long-term success of the project and to mitigate excessive selling pressure shortly after launch. They promote stability and sustained commitment.
