Vesting is a regulation that allows you to limit rights such as tradability. With a time-bound vesting schedule you agree how over time an asset will become truly unconditional owned by the recipient.
On Share Council you can turn vesting on or off and select a vesting schedule when making a trade. Turn on your vesting and this has consequences:
- A holder of non-vested pieces cannot sell or send their non-vested pieces
- An administrator can stop the vesting of a participant, causing all non-vested pieces to be offered back to the Distributor
An article about Vesting will also be included in the to the transaction attached Deed of Transfer.
Example article Deed of Transfer: 4 years total with 1 year cliff
