What is a cliff in token vesting?

A cliff is an initial holding period during which zero tokens are unlocked. Once the cliff duration is reached (e.g. 12 months), a lump sum of accumulated tokens unlocks at once, followed by continuous monthly or block-by-block linear vesting.

What does TGE unlock percentage mean?

TGE (Token Generation Event) unlock percentage is the portion of tokens made liquid immediately at launch on Day 0. It is often used for public sale participants, initial DEX liquidity, or early marketing rewards.

How do large cliff unlocks affect token prices?

Large cliff unlocks abruptly increase circulating token supply. If market demand does not match the incoming token supply, early investors or employees taking profits can exert significant downward sell pressure on the token's market price.

What is the standard vesting schedule for Web3 founders?

The industry standard for core founders and advisors is a 4-year (48-month) total vesting schedule with a 1-year (12-month) cliff and 0% TGE unlock. This aligns team incentives with long-term protocol development.

Does this tool require connecting a crypto wallet?

No. This tool is completely offline and client-side for financial and mathematical modeling. No wallet connection, smart contract interactions, or personal financial data are required.
