Vest tokens with linear block-by-block unlocks
Vesting tokens with linear block-by-block unlocks allows you to gradually release tokens to recipients over a set period of time, with the number of unlocked tokens increasing linearly with each block
- Connect your wallet to the correct network and navigate to the “Create new vesting round” page under the “Vesting” section of your Project Dashboard.
- Enter the smart contract address of the project token you want to lock.
- In the “Schedule editor,” give your round a name and symbol, which will be displayed publicly and cannot be changed later.
- Choose a start date, which can be in the past or future and represents when your vesting schedule begins. It is usually best to set this to the current time.
- Set the initial unlock percentage, which is the amount that will be immediately claimable.
- To customize your vesting schedule with linear block-by-block unlocks, add milestones and select dates for each milestone. Then, choose the “Linear” ramp setting.
- If you want a steady unlock rate, you only need two milestones, ensure “linear” is selected for the final milestone.
- If you want to increase or decrease the unlock rate over time, add multiple milestones and modify the corresponding unlock percentage, or the gap between unlock milestones.
- Add recipients in CSV format using one of the three available methods.
- Review and confirm all balances are correct before finalizing your settings and distributing your tokens.
- Submit the transactions to complete the vesting round.
