What is a Vesting Account？

A vesting account is a special type of wallet designed to control how tokens are released over time, rather than making the full balance immediately available.

Unlike regular accounts, where tokens can be used or transferred freely, a vesting account automatically locks the balance and gradually unlocks it according to a predefined schedule, such as daily, weekly, or monthly releases.

This mechanism is widely used across blockchain projects to support long-term incentives, maintain market stability, and enable more structured financial planning.

It’s a foundational tool for building sustainable ecosystems.

Key Highlights of Vesting Accounts

Built-in Long-Term Incentive Mechanism

With native vesting support, the wallet can manage scheduled token unlocks directly — no need for external contracts. This enables sustainable rewards for contributors, investors, and ecosystem participants. Users can easily track their vesting progress and available balances within the wallet.

Enhanced Transparency and Trust

Vesting schedules, locked balances, and upcoming unlock dates are all visible in real time. This builds trust in the project’s governance and token distribution process.

Controlled Token Circulation

With distribution unlocking over time, vesting helps prevent sudden selling pressure, supports stable market conditions, and creates a predictable release rhythm, which is particularly important ahead of major events like token listings.

All-in-One Wallet Experience

Vesting turns the wallet into more than just a place to store tokens. Users can claim, track, transfer, and participate in governance, all without ever leaving the app.
