About Vesting and Token Unlocks
Both traditional finance and Web3 emerging projects often issue a share of tokens or stocks to their shareholders. These shareholder groups can for example be the developer team, founders, advisors, and so on.
Tokens issued for shareholder groups and other use cases are often not available immediately after launch - instead, they are locked for a specified amount of time (vesting) and released into circulation according to a predetermined schedule.
Token Unlocks refer to the moments when these vested tokens become accessible or "unlocked."
