Vesting

Vesting is a mechanism for gradually distributing tokens after their purchase.
It prevents sudden market dumps and encourages holders to stay invested in the project long-term.
Vesting in presales is used for:
Preventing instant sell-offs after listing, reducing sudden price drops.
Encouraging long-term holding, as investors receive tokens gradually.
Ensuring ecosystem stability by distributing tokens evenly, reducing price manipulation risks.

Given:
TGE Unlock – the percentage of tokens unlocked immediately at the Token Generation Event (TGE).
The TGE for DOGEN was on February 4, 2025.
Cliff – the period (in months) during which tokens are locked before vesting begins.
Vesting – the period (in months) over which the remaining tokens are released in equal portions. Tokens are credited every minute.
Purchase Amount: 10,000 tokens at each stage.
Price: $0.0003
TGE Unlock: 3% → 10,000 * 3% = 300 tokens unlocked immediately
Cliff: 4 months (tokens are locked)
Vesting: 10 months (gradual release)
Remaining tokens after TGE: 10,000 - 300 = 9,700 tokens
Monthly release after Cliff: 9,700 / 10 = 970 tokens per month
✅ Distribution Schedule:
Month 0 (TGE): 300 tokens
Months 1-4: 0 tokens (Cliff)
Months 5-14: 970 tokens per month
Price: $0.0008
TGE Unlock: 5% → 10,000 * 5% = 500 tokens unlocked immediately
Cliff: 1 month
Vesting: 9 months
Remaining tokens after TGE: 10,000 - 500 = 9,500 tokens
Monthly release after Cliff: 9,500 / 9 = 1,056 tokens per month
✅ Distribution Schedule:
Month 0 (TGE): 500 tokens
Month 1: 0 tokens (Cliff)
Months 2-10: 1,056 tokens per month
Price: $0.0019
TGE Unlock: 10% → 10,000 * 10% = 1,000 tokens unlocked immediately
Cliff: 0 months
Vesting: 6 months
Remaining tokens after TGE: 10,000 - 1,000 = 9,000 tokens
Monthly release: 9,000 / 6 = 1,500 tokens per month
✅ Distribution Schedule:
Month 0 (TGE): 1,000 tokens
Months 1-6: 1,500 tokens per month
Early stages (Stage 1) have longer lock-up periods and more restrictions.
Later stages (Stage 13) release tokens faster, making them more liquid but also more expensive.
Vesting protects the market from dumps, but it's important to track major unlock events.
