Token vesting is a critical concept for any EDGE token holder to understand. This guide explains how vesting works on the Futurestate platform, the rationale behind our schedule, and what it means for your tokens.
What is Token Vesting?
Vesting is a mechanism that gradually releases tokens over time rather than all at once. This prevents large token dumps that could destabilize the market, aligns incentive between the team and community, and rewards long-term holders. Think of it like an employee stock option plan — you earn your tokens gradually.
EDGE Vesting Tiers
Different participant groups have different vesting schedules. Presale Round 1: 20% at TGE, 80% linear over 12 months. Public Sale: 50% at TGE, 50% over 6 months. Team & Advisors: 12-month cliff, then 24-month linear vesting. Ecosystem Fund: Released as needed for grants and partnerships, governed by community vote.
Tracking Your Vesting
Once TGE occurs, you can track your vesting schedule directly in the Futurestate dashboard under the Tokenomics section. The dashboard shows your total allocation, unlocked tokens, next unlock date, and vesting progress. Unlocked tokens can be claimed at any time and will appear in your platform wallet.
