# Vesting Schedule

The vesting structure of POTL is designed to ensure long-term alignment, prevent excessive short-term supply pressure, and support sustainable ecosystem growth.

All allocations follow a predefined cliff and linear vesting model after the Token Generation Event (TGE).

#### Vesting Design Notes

* **TGE Unlock**
  * Limited initial unlock is applied only where operationally necessary
  * Designed to support early liquidity without introducing sell pressure
* **Cliff Period**
  * Ensures contributors and strategic allocations are aligned with long-term development
  * Prevents premature circulation of large token volumes
* **Linear Vesting**
  * Gradual monthly release after cliff period
  * Predictable and transparent supply behavior

***

#### Relationship with POTLP Swap

Tokens distributed via **POTLP → POTL swap** are accounted for within the **Ecosystem & User Incentives** allocation.

Swap execution:

* Becomes available only after TGE
* Follows predefined conversion rules
* Is released progressively to avoid supply shocks

This ensures that platform contribution is rewarded without disrupting market stability.

#### Summary

The vesting framework is designed to:

* Protect long-term token value
* Align stakeholders with sustainable platform growth
* Maintain transparency and responsible supply management
