# Vesting schedule

The **$UNCH token** is distributed according to a detailed vesting schedule designed to ensure long-term commitment, prevent market disruptions, and foster a stable ecosystem. The team, advisors, and investors will have their tokens gradually unlocked over a defined period, with a cliff period to align their interests with the success of the project. For the community, the tokens will be unlocked immediately to encourage active participation. Below is the detailed breakdown of the vesting schedules for each group:
