What Is the Cliff Period in a Typical Vesting Schedule?

The cliff period is the initial time during which no vested tokens are released, regardless of the schedule. For example, a 1-year cliff means no tokens are released until the first anniversary of the agreement.

After the cliff, the tokens for the entire cliff period are often released immediately. It secures commitment.
