Want to catch token pumps early — and avoid the dumps? Watch unlock schedules. Most people react after the fact. Here's how you can see it coming. In this thread: ✅ What's vesting and why it matters ✅ How to use CryptoRank to track unlocks 🔗 🧵👇

🔓 What is token vesting? Most projects don’t give all tokens to insiders upfront. They don’t want early investors to dump and vanish, crashing the price. Instead, they use vesting, a schedule that unlocks tokens gradually, keeping people committed and protecting the project. ⚠️ Token unlocks often trigger increased selling and can dump the price if supply floods in.

💪 Why vesting matters? Without vesting: – Founders can dump and walk – Investors exit at launch – Community trust tanks – Price collapses Vesting ties rewards to long-term involvement. Quit early? You don’t get the full stack.

Now let’s look at how to read a vesting page on CryptoRank, using $JTO as an example 👇 First, check where the supply stands: 🔓 Unlocked: already in circulation 🗓️ Next Unlock: about to be released 🔐 Locked: scheduled but still locked 👀 Untracked: unscheduled, can unlock anytime Then scroll down to see who gets what: 📊 Allocation pie shows how supply is split across team, investors, airdrops, etc. 📅 On the right: see when the next unlock hits, how much it is, and who’s getting it.

Next up: vesting schedules. Timeline View gives a clear breakdown by group: 🔒 Cliff (white box at the start) = no unlocks yet 📤 Linear Unlock (colored bars) = tokens unlock gradually 🟦 Solid bars = already unlocked ⬜ Faded bars = still locked Prefer visuals? Try Chart View 📊 Same data, stacked to show how total supply unlocks over time. ⏫ Steeper slope = faster release speed

Lastly, unlock events. Use this view to track: 🔓 Who's unlocking 🔢 How much (tokens & % of allocation) 💵 Estimated $ value 🗓️ All upcoming dates in a scrollable list

And that's a wrap 🌯 Vesting data for some tokens (along with many other features and QoL improvements) is only available to Lite & Premium users. See plans & pricing 👉 Explore vesting data 👇
