Title: ICO vesting periods for founders/advisers
Post by: CryptoAlphaStar on February 06, 2018, 07:19:38 PM
Hi guys,
does someone know:

1.How can I see the vesting dates/release dates in the smart contract in Etherscan for a particular ICO?

2.Typically, what is considered the start date for the vesting period. Let's say that team's tokens will be vesting for 1 year. When does it start? The date the ICO ends. Or the day that tokens are distributed? Or every ICO decides for themselves?

There is no general rule for that dates. It all depends from particular ICO as each ICO team sets their own rules. Sometimes you just have to believe that they won't move their coins for a next year and there are no real restriction for coin transfer at all. And sometimes they really lock their coins in smart contract for some period of time. It's better to look for that kind of information in project's whitepaper or ask the team directly. If they cannot give a comprehensive answer for such question it might become one of the reasons not to participate in such ICO.
