# Vesting

Token vesting is the process that allows future token holders, such as employees, advisors, investors, moderators, and/or VCs, to gradually gain access to their tokens in a predetermined manner over a period of time.

Typically, the project owner needs to manually enter multiple addresses for corresponding personnel and it is usually cumbersome.

In addition, we support the cliff. Cliff vesting usually applies to reduce the selling pressure at the very beginning of token trading. For instance, if there is a 6-month cliff period, the token distribution will be distributed only after the 6th month.
