# Staggered Release

In certain cases, rather than a single token distribution event, the tokens may be released in multiple phases over a predefined period also known as Vesting. 

For example, the tokens could be distributed in batches at specific intervals or tied to the project milestones. This method allows the development team to maintain control over the token supply and ensures ongoing commitment to the project's progress.
