Vesting Schedule

Summary

A vesting schedule outlines the timeline and conditions under which an asset or benefit becomes fully owned by an individual or entity over a period of time.

Detailed Description

Vesting schedules are commonly used in the context of employee stock options, employee benefit plans, and cryptocurrency token distributions. It specifies when the individual gains full ownership of the asset, usually based on continuous employment or engagement with the issuing entity. Typically, vesting takes place in increments, such as monthly or annually, and the total period can range from a few months to several years. A common vesting approach is a four-year schedule with a one-year cliff, meaning no ownership accrues for the first year, after which the individual gains a proportional amount monthly for the remaining three years.
