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.

On May 12, Aptos will release 11.3 million APT tokens worth $101 million to its foundation, community, core contributors and investors. On May 22, Avalanche will unlock 9.5 million AVAX, worth around $321 million, for its strategic partners, foundation, team and airdrop.

In addition, Starknet will unlock $84 million in tokens for its investors and early contributors on May 15, while Immutable will unlock $56 million in crypto tokens for ecosystem and project development on May 17.


Layer-2 scaling solution Optimism will also unlock 24.1 million OP tokens on May 29. The tokens are worth about $70 million at current market prices. In May 2023, Optimism also released $587 million in OP tokens for its early contributors and investors.
