# Token Unlock Schedule

{% hint style="info" %}
The values and parameters on this page are preliminary and subject to change before launch.
{% endhint %}

The vesting and unlock schedule represents a critical component of MSIG tokenomics, directly impacting how tokens enter circulation and influence market dynamics over time.

## Token Unlock Schedule Breakdown

The unlock schedule is structured to achieve two main objectives:

1. Minimal token inflation
2. Controlled supply shocks

This is implemented by starting with a high initial float of 15.3% while keeping emissions controlled, ensuring there is no oversupply in any given month. In addition, all vesting follows a daily linear schedule, preventing large unlock events that commonly occur with standard monthly linear vesting.

**Presale (Community)**

20.0% unlocks at TGE, followed by a 1-month cliff and 8-month daily linear vesting thereafter.

**Community**

20% unlocks at TGE, with the remaining allocation released gradually based on actual demand and usage. Tokens are distributed strategically for staking rewards, liquidity incentives, and marketing campaigns, helping ensure they enter circulation only when they provide maximum value to the ecosystem.

**Foundation**

23.5% unlocks at TGE, with subsequent releases determined by operational requirements and governance decisions. Initially unlocked tokens will be used for exchange listings, while the remainder will be deployed strategically to support future ecosystem development.

**Core Contributors**

No tokens unlock at TGE, followed by a 12-month cliff and 36 months of daily linear vesting thereafter. This vesting schedule, aligned with industry standards for "insiders", helps ensure core contributors remain aligned with the long-term success of Meta Signals.

**Presale (Private & Strategic)**

* Private Sale: 10% unlocks at TGE, followed by a 3-month cliff and 12 months of daily linear vesting.
* Strategic Sale: 15% unlocks at TGE, followed by a 2-month cliff and 10 months of daily linear vesting.
