Crypto vesting is done to promote continued dedication to a crypto project. Vested crypto tokens are locked to prohibit early investors or team members from hastily dumping their tokens and leaving the project.


Among the projects releasing vested crypto assets, layer-1 blockchain platform Sui will release the largest amount. The project is expected to unlock almost one billion tokens for its Series A and Series B investors, early contributors, the Mysten Labs treasury and its community reserve on May 31.

With Pyth Network’s (PYTH) token hovering at about $0.51 a piece, the tokens to be released are worth roughly $1.1 billion.
