Token Vesting Schedule Calculator

Cliff = initial period where no tokens unlock

Period over which tokens unlock linearly

How Vesting Works

  • Cliff Period: No tokens unlock during this time
  • Linear Vesting: After cliff, tokens unlock evenly each month
  • Common schedule: 6-month cliff + 24-month vesting
  • Example: 1M tokens, 6mo cliff, 24mo vesting = ~41,667 tokens/month after month 6

Common Vesting Schedules

Team: 12-month cliff + 36-month vesting

Advisors: 6-month cliff + 24-month vesting

Investors: 3-month cliff + 18-month vesting

Community: 0-month cliff + 12-month vesting
