**What are vesting and unlock — and why it matters to you** 🔓

Buying a token, and suddenly the price drops for no apparent reason? It might be due to an unlock — a massive token dump on the market.

Vesting is a mechanism for the gradual release of tokens. Imagine a project issuing 100 million tokens, but only 10 million are available right away. The other 90 million are locked up and will be released in portions — that’s the vesting schedule.

Unlock happens on a schedule: the team gets their tokens after a year, investors after six months, and advisors monthly. When the unlock date arrives, the market supply spikes dramatically.

Practical example: the ABC project has an unlock of 50 million tokens (50% of the current supply) scheduled for December. Even with stable demand, the price could plummet by 30-40% just because of the increased supply.

Where to check? Token Unlocks, the official project site, under the Tokenomics section. Keep an eye on large unlocks from the team and early investors — they often cash out.

Unlocks are inevitable, but they can be leveraged: buy after major unlocks or take profits early. The key is to know the calendar 📅

What’s the most painful unlock from your portfolio that you remember, and what percentage did you lose?

**What is vesting and unlock — and why should you care** 🔓

You buy a token, and suddenly it drops 30% for no apparent reason? Most likely, an unlock has occurred — a mass exit of tokens from the vesting.

Vesting is a mechanism for the gradual unlocking of tokens for the team, investors, and advisors. Imagine: the project raised $50M, but investors can’t sell their tokens all at once. They receive them in portions over 1-4 years.

Unlock — the moment when the next batch of tokens becomes available for sale. And that’s when the market magic begins.

A practical example: Aptos had $300M worth of tokens unlocked in October 2023. The price dropped from $8 to $5 in just a few days — investors were simply cashing in their profits.

How to track this? Check out Token Unlocks or look at the unlock calendar on CoinGecko. Pay attention to the size of the unlock relative to the market cap. If more than 10% of the circulating supply is unlocked — expect volatility.

Cliff unlocks are particularly dangerous — when a large volume of tokens is unlocked all at once rather than gradually.

Remember: vesting protects the project from dump in the early months, but it creates predictable pressure in the future. A smart trader factors this into their strategy. 📊

Have you ever faced a situation where your token unexpectedly crashed due to an unlock you weren't aware of?
