How do vesting and cliffs affect the prospects of crypto projects?
Vesting and cliff are mechanisms for distributing coins that can significantly influence the development of a cryptocurrency project. Let's take a closer look at what they represent and how their analysis helps assess the project's potential.
What is vesting?
Vesting is the process of gradually releasing project tokens over a specified period of time. During this process, the tokens become available to holders only after the pre-agreed conditions have been met.
The Concept of a Cliff
The cliff represents the initial period of token lockup during which they are unavailable for use. Only after the cliff expires does the process of gradual token release begin.
How does the vesting mechanism work?
When launching a new crypto project, an initial distribution of coins occurs among developers, founders, and early investors. To maintain a balance of interests among all participants, a vesting mechanism is applied.
Coins are gradually released in parts over a long period. This does not allow, for example, initial investors to sell all their assets at once, leaving long-term participants with nothing.
Advantages of Using Vesting
The application of the vesting mechanism provides a number of significant advantages:
Example of Cliff Influence on the Market
A striking example can be the situation with the token dYdX. On December 1, 2023, the cliff period for a significant volume of tokens ended. Their acquisition by investors and project employees predictably exerted serious pressure on the market.
Thus, analyzing the mechanisms of vesting and cliffs allows for a better understanding of the prospects for the development of the crypto project and assessing the potential investment risks. A careful study of the token distribution charts can provide valuable information for making informed investment decisions.
