Controlled Liquidity and Vesting

To balance openness with long-term stability:

• Immediate receipt, delayed sale: Tokens are earned or purchased instantly but released for sale gradually over twelve months.

• 30-day cliff + linear vesting: 1⁄12 of each allocation unlocks monthly after an initial 30-day period.

• Institutional lock-ups: Team and partner allocations vest over 24–36 months with defined cliffs.

• Quarterly emission taper: Overall monthly emissions reduce by 25 % per quarter in Year 1 and stabilise thereafter.

This structure rewards participation, discourages short-term speculation, and creates a predictable emission curve. It also protects Checkpoint from volatile market conditions and ensures the ecosystem remains purpose-driven rather than profit-seeking.
