# Allocation & Vesting

The ZYLO token distribution is designed to support long-term project stability, maintain sufficient liquidity for trading and ecosystem development, and reduce the risk of excessive selling pressure after TGE. Major vested allocations are secured through publicly verifiable on-chain locks.

| Category              | %   | Tokens (M) | Vesting (Cliff → Linear)                 |
| --------------------- | --- | ---------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| Team                  | 15% | 150        | 12-month cliff → 24-month linear vesting |
| Early Bird Sale       | 10% | 100        | 1-month cliff → 12-month linear vesting  |
| Pre-Sale              | 15% | 150        | No cliff → 9-month linear vesting        |
| Marketing & Community | 20% | 200        | 10% at TGE → 12-month linear vesting     |
| Liquidity & Listing   | 10% | 100        | 100% unlocked at TGE                     |
| Treasury              | 10% | 100        | 18-month linear vesting                  |
| Play-to-Earn          | 15% | 150        | 12-month linear vesting                  |

### On-Chain Token Locks

To ensure transparency and support the long-term stability of the ZYLO ecosystem, the main vested token allocations have been secured through **Jupiter Lock**.

The on-chain locks cover the following allocations:

* Team
* Marketing & Community
* Play-to-Earn
* Pre-Sale
* Early Bird Sale

Each lock follows a predefined vesting schedule, including its own cliff period, initial unlock date, and recurring release amounts. Until tokens are unlocked according to this schedule, they cannot be transferred by the recipient.

This mechanism:

* prevents unexpected releases of large token allocations;
* reduces the risk of sudden selling pressure;
* aligns major stakeholders with the project’s long-term development;
* allows the community to independently verify the vesting conditions on-chain.

The allocation table above represents the overall token distribution. The Jupiter Lock page displays the portion of each allocation currently secured through on-chain vesting contracts.

**All lock amounts, recipient wallets, unlock dates, and vesting schedules are publicly verifiable on-chain.**\
\
ZYLO vesting is enforced through smart contracts. The team cannot manually release locked tokens before their scheduled unlock dates.
