What is token vesting?
Token vesting is the controlled, gradual release of a token allocation over time. Instead of a team or investor receiving their full allocation immediately — and being able to sell it immediately — the tokens sit in a vesting contract that releases them continuously along a fixed schedule. On Titan Locker, that schedule is linear: between the start date and the end date, the claimable amount grows at a constant rate, with an optional cliff before which nothing can be withdrawn at all.
The schedule is enforced by an immutable contract, not a promise. Once created it cannot be changed, revoked, or accelerated by anyone — the beneficiary can only withdraw what has already vested, and everyone else can verify the whole schedule on a public certificate page that reads its numbers live from the chain.
Cliff vs. linear vesting
A cliff delays the first release: nothing is claimable until the cliff date, at which point everything vested since the start unlocks at once and linear vesting continues. Cliffs are typical for team allocations (e.g. a 6-month cliff inside a 24-month vest) because they guarantee a minimum commitment period before any tokens can move.
Token locking vs. token vesting
| Token lock | Vesting schedule | |
|---|---|---|
| Release | Everything at one unlock date | Continuous, along the schedule |
| Changeable? | Unlock can be extended, never shortened | Fixed forever at creation |
| Typical use | LP protection, single-date commitments | Team & investor allocations |
| Top-ups | Deposit more into the same lock any time | Total is fixed at creation |
How it works on Titan Locker
- Choose Vesting in the create flow, paste the token, and set total, start, optional cliff, and end.
- The full allocation transfers into a dedicated, per-schedule contract — no shared pool, no admin keys.
- After the cliff (if any), the beneficiary releases vested tokens whenever they like.
- The certificate page shows total, released, and the full schedule — publicly verifiable at any time.
Vesting creation pays the same fee as a token lock: 0.025 ETH on Robinhood Chain or 50 USDT0 on Stable Chain (or 3% in-kind). The contract is the source of truth for the live fee — the create flow reads it on-chain before you sign.
Frequently asked questions
What is token vesting?
Token vesting releases a token allocation gradually over time instead of all at once. On Titan Locker, a vesting schedule is an on-chain contract holding the full allocation and letting the beneficiary withdraw only the portion that has vested so far — a linear stream between a start and end date, optionally gated by a cliff.
What is a vesting cliff?
A cliff is a period at the start of a vesting schedule during which nothing can be withdrawn. Once the cliff date passes, every token that has linearly vested since the start becomes claimable at once, and vesting continues linearly from there. A schedule with no cliff starts releasing immediately.
What is the difference between token locking and token vesting?
A token lock holds the full amount until one unlock date — nothing before, everything after. Vesting releases continuously along a schedule. Locks fit LP protection and single-date commitments; vesting fits team and investor allocations that should unlock gradually rather than hit the market in one block.
Can a vesting schedule be changed or revoked?
No. Titan Locker's vesting schedules are irrevocable: once created, the start, cliff, end, and total are fixed permanently. There is no admin, revoke, or clawback function — not even the creator can change the schedule.
How do I claim vested tokens?
Open your vesting lock's certificate page and press Release — the contract transfers exactly the vested-but-unclaimed portion to the lock owner. You can release as often or as rarely as you like; unclaimed vested tokens simply keep accruing.
Is the vesting schedule public?
Yes. Every vesting schedule has a public certificate page showing the total, the start/cliff/end dates, and how much has been released so far — all read live from the chain, so investors can verify a team's vesting claims independently.
Which chains does Titan Locker vesting support?
Robinhood Chain (chain ID 4663) and Stable Chain (chain ID 988). The same audited V2.1 contract is deployed at the identical address on both chains.
