5. Vesting & Token Locking

Vesting is a critical mechanism designed to ensure the long-term sustainability of the GPARK ecosystem and protect the DAO from short-term speculative behavior.

All major internal allocations — including Core Team, DAO Council, and Partnerships — are locked by default and released gradually based on transparent and preset schedules.

5.1 Core Team & DAO Council Vesting

  • Initial 12-month cliff
  • Gradual monthly unlocks over 48 months
  • All transactions publicly recorded

5.2 Partnership & Grant Vesting

  • 3–6 month cliffs for strategic partners
  • Linear unlocks aligned with milestones
  • Transparent on-chain records

5.3 Technical Implementation

All locked tokens are managed on-chain via the GPARK smart contract and assigned through DAO Treasury multisig.

  • lockTokens(address, amount, unlockDate)
  • getUnlockedBalance(address)
  • lockedAmount(address)
  • getNextUnlockDate(address)

These functions are open, permissionless, and accessible via the DAO dashboard or chain explorers.
