# Vesting Model

Token vesting is a strategic measure to address the rapid token dumps by early holders during price surges. It aims to protect the interests of $MMLM holders in the long run while maintaining stability and the long-term vision of the project.

The MMLM token vesting mechanism operates in the following manner:

* When $MMLM tokens are purchased, the allocated amount gradually unlocks inside the buyer's wallet for a duration of 12 months.
* During this period, the tokens are gradually released at predetermined intervals (by block), ensuring a controlled and gradual distribution.
* Holders can track the amount of their vested $MMLM tokens via the Holder Page. 

By implementing a one-year vesting period, the project can progress without disruptions caused by sudden token dumping.
