Team Vesting: 2-year schedule with 1-year cliff and monthly unlocks?

The phrase “Team Vesting: 2-year schedule with 1-year cliff and monthly unlocks” refers to how the Team & Advisor tokens are distributed over time to ensure long-term commitment to the project. Here’s a breakdown:

What it means:

• 2-year schedule: The full allocation of tokens to the team is spread out over 24 months.
• 1-year cliff: No tokens are distributed during the first 12 months. This is the “cliff” — a waiting period to prove commitment.
• Monthly unlocks: After the 1-year cliff, the tokens are released in equal monthly portions over the following 12 months.

Example:

If a team member is allocated 1,200,000 tokens, they receive:

• 0 tokens for the first year
• 100,000 tokens per month during year 2

This structure protects the project from early team exits and builds investor trust by ensuring team members are incentivized to stick around long term.
