Token Vesting

Automate token unlocks with CryptoHub’s flexible vesting tools. Set cliffs, schedules, and release styles for investors, team, or partners.

Token Vesting is a smart contract mechanism that gradually releases tokens to recipients over time—based on predefined rules. It’s essential for building long-term trust and aligning stakeholders such as founders, team members, advisors, and investors.

Instead of granting all tokens at once, vesting ensures that tokens unlock incrementally—encouraging continued contribution and discouraging early dumping.

How It Works

When a vesting schedule is created, tokens are locked in a smart contract and distributed to recipients on a time-based release schedule. You can define:

• A cliff (a delay before any tokens unlock)

• A vesting type (linear or cycle-based)

• A duration

• Custom recipients, each with a unique allocation

Tokens are only claimable according to the vesting logic, enforced on-chain with full transparency and zero manual intervention.

Vesting Types

📶 Milestone Vesting

Tokens unlock in fixed chunks at regular intervals. For example: 10% every 30 days for 10 months.

↗️ Linear Vesting

Tokens are released continuously over time. For example: linear over 12 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit a vesting schedule after deploying?

No. Vesting terms are immutable for security and fairness.

What happens if the recipient never claims?

Tokens remain in the vesting contract and are always claimable according to the schedule.

Is there a fee for each claim?

Yes, recipients pay a small gas fee for each claim (approx. $0.35 depending on network).

Can I cancel a vesting plan?

Vesting contracts are non-custodial. If revocability is needed, it must be built in at deployment.
