How Does a Team Lock-up Mitigate ‘Rug Pull’ Risks?

A team lock-up mitigates 'rug pull' risks by preventing the core team from immediately selling a large percentage of the token supply for profit and abandoning the project. The lock-up and long vesting schedule force the team to stay engaged and deliver on the roadmap for years to realize the full value of their tokens, aligning their incentives with the community's long-term success.
