What Is the Incentive for Founders to Agree to Long Vesting Periods?
Founders agree to long vesting periods to signal their long-term commitment to the project's success, which builds investor confidence and reduces the perception of a "rug pull" or short-term profit-taking. It aligns their financial incentives with the long-term intrinsic value creation of the protocol.
Long vesting is often a requirement from venture capital investors.
