What Is a Common Duration for a Team’s Token Vesting Schedule?

A common duration for a core team's token vesting schedule is between 2 to 4 years. This timeframe is considered long enough to align the team's incentives with the long-term success of the DAO.

A longer vesting period signals stronger commitment and reduces the likelihood of the team abandoning the project after a short time, which protects the token value.
