### Automated token distribution
In order to hire the best talent, Web3 businesses offer incentives, sometimes in the form of tokens. As the space has grown, these businesses need tools to manage and automate token vesting and lockups.

**Vesting** is designed to incentivize the long-term commitment of talent. It gradually grants ownership of assets to employees over a specified schedule. Common schedules include time-based vesting or milestone-based vesting. Vesting often includes a cliff, an initial period during which no assets vest.

**Lockups** are primarily used to prevent market disruption by restricting the sale or transfer of assets for a specific period of time. In most cases, lockup periods are enforced across core team members, investors, and insiders for a period after the token launch date.
