Tokenomics

Token unlock

A scheduled release of previously locked tokens.

What it means

Unlocks allow tokens held by teams, investors, advisors, treasuries, or ecosystem programs to become transferable according to vesting terms.

Why it matters

Unlocks can increase sell pressure, change float, and shift incentives. The risk depends on size, recipients, liquidity, and demand.
