This week, GLMR, APT, IMX, and FLOW will unlock over $50 million in a one-time event.
As an integral part of Tokenomics, Token Unlocks refers to the release of locked tokens to the market within a prescribed period of time, the purpose of which is to ensure alignment of incentives among the project team, investors and community users. Token Unlocks (especially Cliff Unlocks) may generate selling pressure in the market, thus bringing about significant fluctuations in token prices. In view of this, investors should take notice of risks around token unlocks periods.
Token Unlocks generally fall into 2 categories: Linear Unlocks and Cliff Unlocks. Cliff Unlocks means that tokens are locked until a specific event or date when all locked tokens will be released at once. Tokens airdropped by projects commonly take up part of Cliff Unlocks. In terms of Linear Unlocks, tokens are to be released daily at a stable and fixed rate over a period of time. Liquidity incentives are usually incorporated in Linear Unlocks.
