Vesting Schedule

The StayChain vesting and release schedule has been meticulously designed to align with three core principles: platform sustainability, stakeholder protection, and market stability. With our unique position of launching with an existing network, our vesting structure needs to balance immediate utility with long-term value protection.

Our approach differs from traditional token launches as we're not starting from zero – we have immediate utility and existing business operations to support. This allows us to implement a more conservative vesting schedule that protects token value while ensuring sufficient liquidity for actual platform usage. The schedule is designed to release tokens in alignment with our projected growth from our current base to our target of 6,000 properties. Initial Parameters: We've carefully designed our vesting schedule to ensure long-term stability while maintaining sufficient liquidity for platform operations. Total supply is 2,000,000,000 STAY tokens, with a structured release schedule across different stakeholder groups.
