Understanding the Lock-up Period at Floin

The term lock-up period refers to a predefined timeframe during which certain tokens cannot be sold or transferred. At Floin, this mechanism plays a crucial role in creating long-term stability and protecting investors from abrupt price movements shortly after launch.

What is a Lock-up Period?

A lock-up period restricts early token holders—such as team members, advisors, or private investors—from selling their tokens for a specified time. The goal is to prevent large token dumps on the open market that could harm the token's value. At Floin, the lock-up rules are transparent and follow a structured timeline as outlined in the official Tokenomics and White Paper.

How Vesting Complements Lock-up

Vestingdefines how and when locked tokens are gradually released. Instead of making all tokens available at once when the lock-up ends, they are released in intervals—commonly monthly or quarterly. For example, a team member might have a 12-month lock-up period followed by a 24-month vesting schedule. This means tokens start unlocking only after the first year, and then gradually over the next two years. This approach aligns incentives with long-term commitment and discourages short-term speculation.

Staking During Lock-up

Floin offers selected options to stake locked tokens. Staking allows holders to earn passive income or rewards by supporting the blockchain infrastructure, even when their tokens are not yet tradable. The possibility to stake locked tokens is project-dependent and subject to technical and legal conditions. Floin communicates such options transparently to eligible users.

Why Lock-up, Vesting, and Staking Matter

These three mechanisms form a foundation for trust, security, and sustainable growth:

• Lock-up protects against early dumping and ensures market stability.
• Vesting aligns incentives over time and rewards long-term contributors.
• Staking makes locked tokens productive while supporting the ecosystem.
