Timelock: Protecting Projects and Investors Through Structured Unlocks

What is Timelock?

Timelock is a key feature of Cellex's launch system, ensuring that tokens purchased during a sale are not immediately available for trading. Instead, they are locked for a specific period, designed to create a healthier, more sustainable market dynamic.

How Timelock Works:

  • After purchasing a Cell, the tokens inside it become subject to a preset lock period.

  • Each Bonding Cluster defines its own unlock timeline; earlier clusters typically have longer timelocks to reward long-term commitment.

  • Once the unlock period is over, tokens are released in planned installments to prevent sudden market flooding.

Benefits of Timelock:

  • Reduces Immediate Selling Pressure: Investors are encouraged to think long-term rather than quickly dumping their tokens for short-term profit.

  • Enhances Price Stability: Gradual token release supports more stable price discovery.

  • Aligns Investor Incentives: Early supporters are aligned with the project's long-term success.

Why Timelock Matters:

Without a proper time-lock system, even the fairest launch can quickly devolve into chaos. Cellex's structured time-locks create a disciplined, transparent environment where both project owners and investors can thrive together.
