Time Released Tokens

Mechanism

Time released tokens refer to digital assets governed by programmable smart contracts that enforce a temporal delay before the underlying tokens become accessible or transferable. This architecture serves as a cryptographic lock, preventing immediate liquidity events by mandating that specific holdings remain inert until defined block heights or timestamps are reached. Market participants utilize this framework to mitigate volatility caused by sudden supply injections and to ensure long-term alignment between project stakeholders and the protocol.
