Understanding Vesting Schedules
Token vesting schedules determine when team members, investors, and advisors can sell their tokens. Understanding these schedules is critical for predicting sell pressure. Key moments to watch: TGE (Token Generation Event) unlocks, cliff expirations, and large monthly linear unlocks.
Track real token unlock events with our Token Unlock Schedule. Monitor how markets react to unlocks using the Fear & Greed Index and Volatility Calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a token vesting schedule?
A vesting schedule is a plan that releases tokens to team members, investors, and advisors over time rather than all at once. This prevents early insiders from immediately dumping all their tokens. Common structures include a cliff period (no tokens released) followed by linear monthly releases.
What is a cliff in token vesting?
A cliff is a period after the Token Generation Event (TGE) during which no tokens are released to the vesting recipient. After the cliff expires, a large chunk of tokens typically unlocks at once. Common cliff periods are 6-12 months. The cliff unlock is often the highest sell-pressure event.
How does vesting affect token price?
Token unlocks increase the circulating supply, creating potential sell pressure. Large cliff unlocks can cause significant price drops if team/investors sell. However, if the market anticipates the unlock and the team doesn't sell, the price impact may be minimal. Always check if unlocked tokens are actually moved to exchanges.
