[LIST] Check token unlock / vesting schedules

[tranthidung]

Whatever you want to do includes

• Investing
• Trading
• Taking profit from airdrop

If your targets are coins/ tokens that have schedules for token distributions from project teams to their investors and airdrop hunters, you must follow their vesting schedules very tightly.

Let me introduce some websites for doing this.

• https://defillama.com/unlocks
• https://cryptorank.io/token-unlock
• https://vestlab.io/
• https://token.unlocks.app/
• https://dropstab.com/insights/vesting
• https://messari.io/token-unlocks (not free)

I don't make screenshots here and if you are interested in, click on links to visit those sites and explore them. A brief note is a first two websites are my favorites.

You are right, the vesting details play an important role in trading and investing because sometimes we do not see this factor and make a trade and the next day we see more tokens are dumped into the market and now we are in a downtrend, I did not become a victim of this state but to be honest I never cared about vesting until I came to know about its importance.

So after doing some research from something else, I found out about the first website you have mentioned and on it I saw the token unlocks section and then learnt more about it and got to know how important this knowledge could be for me. But this don't have the details of every token, as I faced issue finding the vesting details of like 5 to 7 tokens which I found on the 4th website you have mentioned. I will bookmark all of the other websites and will test them occasionally.

Besides seeing the vesting details we can see many other details like in the context of airdrops we can see on defillama that which exchange or swap has not introduced any coins yet, and which newly launched airdrop's token is getting funds from, in short we can do proper analysis of a project but if we know how to do it.

Vesting time and releasing time of tokens affects traders and speculators more than investors. Because if speculators and traders don't pay attention on vesting schedule and time of token release, they will buy around a time of token release round and can be affected by a short term dump.

With investors, they have longer vision and plan, and if the project goes well, price of token will increase with time, they will not be infected by vesting. However, the point is investing into altcoins is always high risky..

It takes time for them to add new projects to their websites as well as Vesting pages. It is normal if they miss some new projects.

You have to use multiple sites to double checks and those third-party sites are only supplementary for your quick research. After first steps with third-party websites, you have to go to a project website to double check their token vesting information.
