Initial Coin Offering Vesting
Initial Coin Offering vesting refers to the time-locked release of tokens allocated to early investors and team members. These schedules are designed to prevent immediate dumping of tokens into the market upon launch.
By forcing a long-term commitment, vesting aligns the incentives of stakeholders with the project's development milestones. If tokens were released all at once, the resulting supply shock could collapse the price.
Instead, gradual release periods ensure that liquidity remains manageable and that the team remains incentivized to build. Investors must carefully evaluate these schedules to understand potential future supply unlocks that could impact price performance.
