Token lockup, also known as the vesting period, refers to a period of time when tokens cannot be traded or liquidated. The duration of that period depends on the team’s strategy and, in some cases, lasts several years. As usual, the VR Soldier team carefully works out tokenomics so as not to cause a lot of selling pressure at various stages of the unlock and thereby not bring down the price of the token. However, some factors, for example, a lack of liquidity or profit-taking by early investors immediately after the tokens are unlocked, can seriously affect the asset’s quotes.
