Vesting Explained

In traditional markets, a company might offer equity as part of an employment deal. However, the stock will have to go through a vesting period first. This means that access to the shares is given after a certain amount of time. This encourages longer participation in the company.

Vesting in crypto is similar. It is the process of locking and releasing tokens after a given time. Usually, vested tokens belong to the team and partners and others who contributed to the development of the project, but it also includes investors who purchased tokens before they went on general sale.
