About Token Vesting Schedule Calculator

A vesting schedule releases tokens linearly over a period, but nothing at all is released before the cliff. On the cliff date the whole elapsed portion unlocks at once, which is why cliff dates often coincide with selling pressure.

Formula

Linear vesting with cliff

Vested = 0 before the cliff, else total × min(1, months elapsed / vesting months)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a cliff?

It ensures nothing vests unless the recipient stays for a minimum period, aligning them with the project.

Why do unlock dates move prices?

A large tranche becoming sellable adds supply, and the market often prices that in ahead of the date.
