🧠 Topic: What is vesting and cliff — how tokens are unlocked and why this is key to the survival of the project (and your investments)

🔒 Vesting (#Vesting ) — is a mechanism for the gradual unlocking of tokens for the team, investors, and other participants in the project.$BNB

It protects the market from everyone dumping their coins on day TCE and crashing the price.

📉 What is a cliff?

A cliff is a period of complete token lockup, during which nothing can be sold.
After the cliff, the gradual unlocking begins.

🔍 A simple example:

You have 100,000 tokens

📆 Cliff: 6 months

🔓 Vesting: 12 months
→ After 6 months, you will start unlocking 1/12 each month
→ Full unlocking will be in 18 months$BTC

💡 Why is vesting necessary?

✅ Price protection in the market
✅ Motivation for the team to stay in the project
✅ Trust from investors
✅ Smooth introduction of liquidity

🚩 If there is no vesting, then:

❌ The entire team can dump tokens on the listing day
❌ Funds quickly take profits
❌ The project has no incentives to develop
❌ You are exit liquidity

📊 Typical parameters:

Category Cliff Vesting
Team 6–12 months 1–3 years
Founders 12 months 3–4 years
Investors 0–3 months 6–24 months
#Airdrop - no or 0 months immediately or 1–3 months
Community none for activity / rewards

Invest where there is a plan and discipline.
