# Vesting Period (Blippers and Early Access)

Every Blips campaign includes a **vesting system** — a structured release of tokens over time.\
It’s not just a technical mechanism — it’s a **core principle of Blips** designed to protect **both the community and the developers**, ensuring stability, fairness, and sustainable growth.

### Why Vesting Exists

Crypto launches often suffer from short-term hype, sudden dumps, and unstable charts.\
We built Blips to do the opposite — to create **long-term alignment** between everyone involved:

* **For the community:** ensures your early support isn’t diluted by instant sellers.
* **For the developers:** gives teams room to build, grow, and deliver without constant sell pressure.
* **For the ecosystem:** maintains healthy, organic price discovery.

Blips vesting is the foundation that keeps the system **fair, transparent, and anti-pump-and-dump**.

### How Vesting Works

When tokens are distributed (either to **Blippers** or **Early Access depositors**), they are not released all at once.\
Instead, they follow a clear, **predefined schedule** that you can track directly on the campaign page.

#### **Standard Vesting Model**

* **35% unlocked at TGE (Token Generation Event)**\
  → Available immediately when the token goes live.
* **65% released weekly after TGE**\
  → Streamed automatically until your full allocation is unlocked (15% every week).

Each project may have its own variation, but the vesting structure always follows the same philosophy: **protect the long-term value**.

***

### Who Vesting Applies To

1. **Blippers (Supporters)**\
   If you earned tokens by supporting a campaign — posting, engaging, or spreading visibility —\
   your rewards follow the same vesting curve.\
   This ensures that **real contributors** benefit alongside the project’s growth, not short-term speculators.
2. **Early Access Depositors**\
   If you joined through **Blips Early Access**, your allocation also unlocks progressively.\
   This keeps early participants aligned with the project’s long-term health and prevents early dumping.

***

### Developer Lock - Mandatory

Every Blips campaign must follow one **non-negotiable rule**: **developer tokens must be locked for at least 3 months** after TGE.

This requirement guarantees:

* Builders stay fully aligned with their community.
* Projects can’t dump their own tokens after launch.
* The ecosystem remains transparent and trustworthy.

It’s a hard rule — no project can run a Blips campaign without committing to this minimum lock period.\
Developers can choose to lock longer, but **never shorter**.
