Select a Token Stage

Find your token address and enter it into the field, or select one of the tokens pulled directly from your wallet information.

5. Add the vesting contract details

Options for token vesting
Setup your vesting details for each address in the schedule

This is the most important step, and comes with a lot of options, so take your time to make sure all of the information is correct.

For each address in the vesting schedule, you have the option to:

  • Wallet Address
  • Wallet Nickname
  • Select the relationship (investor or employee).
  • Number of Tokens
  • Vesting Cadence
  • Start & End Date
  • Cliff Period Details

If you would like to enter this information via CSV (perhaps you have a lot of addresses and details), we have the option to download our template and edit the details by hand.

The final step is to Confirm The Transaction in the app, and your wallet.
