# Vesting schedules

> THEO token vesting schedules by allocation category, including cliff and linear unlock durations.

All non-circulating THEO allocations follow structured vesting schedules designed to align long-term incentives and minimize short-term supply shocks. Vesting begins after the cliff period and proceeds linearly on a monthly basis.

<Info>
  **Tokenomics disclaimer** — All vesting parameters are current estimates and remain subject to change as Autheo finalizes its tokenomics and mainnet launch details.

## Summary

At launch (TGE), approximately **5.3% of total supply** (\~371,000,000 THEO) is available. All other allocations are subject to the vesting schedules below.

**Available-at-launch breakdown:**

These are three components that make up total supply available at launch, for different purposes:

| Pool | Amount available at launch | Notes |
| - | - | - |
| Liquidity Res (CEX, DEX & MM) | 350,000,000 THEO (100% of allocation) | Exchange and market-maker liquidity — not distributed to individuals. Only 50,000,000 THEO has been bridged to Base and deployed for initial trading; the remainder is not immediately entering the tradable market and will be deployed over time. |
| Launch Related | 17,500,000 THEO (50% of 35M) | Early participant entitlements; remaining 50% (17,500,000 THEO) vests over 6 months |
| Validator Node rewards already emitted | 3,500,000 THEO | Rewards emitted via block rewards prior to launch; remainder of the 525,000,000 THEO Validator Node allocation continues to release through ongoing block emissions |
| **Total available at launch** | **371,000,000 THEO** | \~5.3% of total supply |

## Reading the schedule

* **Cliff**: No tokens unlock during this period
* **Vesting after cliff**: Linear monthly unlocks begin after the cliff ends
* **Monthly unlock**: Tokens released per month during the vesting period

**Example — Team allocation** (18% of supply, 1.26B THEO):

* Months 1–6: Nothing unlocks (6-month cliff)
* Month 7 onward: 35,000,000 THEO unlocks each month for 36 months
* All 1.26B THEO fully vested by month 42

**Example — Reserve — long term** (3% of supply, 210M THEO):

* Months 1–42: Nothing unlocks (42-month cliff)
* Month 43 onward: 3,181,818 THEO unlocks each month for 66 months
* All 210M THEO fully vested by month 108

## Design principles

* **Long cliffs and extended linear vesting** reduce short-term supply shocks
* **Liquidity Res is fully unlocked at TGE** to support CEX/DEX provisioning and market depth
* **Block Rewards** (Ecosystem, Validator Nodes, Infra Nodes, DevHub Economy Rewards) are performance-weighted and contingent on uptime and service metrics. Validator Nodes shows 0% at launch in the table above under the formal schedule, but 3,500,000 THEO of Validator Node rewards were already emitted pre-launch and count toward the 371,000,000 THEO total available at launch (see Summary)
* **Premined pools** (all other categories) vest linearly via smart contracts according to predefined schedules
* **No tokens can be released arbitrarily** — all vesting follows predefined on-chain parameters
