I've had the privilege to participate in several crypto presales programs involving crowdfunding ICO, DEX launch, and more, what follows immediately after these presales and ICO launch are large investors tend to sell off their holdings once good profit has been made by quickly dumping the said token project leaving the weak hands with loss, **to avoid quick sell-off from investors, vesting was introduced as a means of protection investors funds from quick liquidation** although not all crypto project implement this initiative as there are conditions attached to vesting a token which involves locking up a token for a specified duration either months or years these locked up token normally yield high income from staking which means there are always rewards for locking up these vested tokens.

**importance of vesting**
*****

Vesting is an integral part of any project economy it prevents large sell-off in the market by getting investors involved in the project intrinsic value and use cases it increases the security of a project and encourages developers to focus on building a stable project and help avoid uncontrolled market circulation supply of a token.

**Final thought**
******
Massive sell-off is detrimental to any crypto project as it makes early investors lose interest in such projects with vesting as an ideal means of protecting investors and developers' interest I find this method a viable means of increasing trust and transparency in the crypto space.
