How do you read a token unlock schedule? It is simpler than it looks.
Most new tokens lock team and investor allocations for a set period, often a year. The first big release is called a cliff, and after it tokens usually release gradually, month by month. That gradual part is called linear vesting.
An unlock does not mean those tokens get sold. What matters is the size of the release compared with the coins already circulating, and how much trading volume can absorb it.
A real example is coming up on Nov 24, when Monad's first team unlock releases more than 16 billion tokens, worth roughly $260 million. Big unlocks are worth checking before you buy, not after. #Crypto
