# Vesting Schedule

RCO Finance has implemented a robust vesting strategy, meticulously crafted to ensure the project's longevity and resilience amidst the volatile cryptocurrency landscape. A key feature of this strategy is the gradual release mechanism applied to team, public sale, private sale, and liquidity tokens. This approach mitigates the risk of sudden market fluctuations, fostering a stable growth trajectory.

**Team Tokens:**

* Locked for a duration of 3 years.
* After 3 years, a linear release over a period of 20 months will begin, with 5% of the total allocation being released each month.

**Public Sale Tokens:**

* 20% of the total token allocation is released at the Token Generation Event (TGE).
* The remaining public sale tokens are released linearly over a period of 4 months, with an equal portion released each month.

**Private Sale Tokens:**

* 20% of the total token allocation is released at the Token Generation Event (TGE).
* The remaining private sale tokens are released linearly over a period of 5 months, with an equal portion released each month.

**Liquidity Tokens:**

* 100% of liquidity tokens are released at the Token Generation Event (TGE).
* These tokens are locked for 3 years, preventing immediate liquidity injections that could potentially disrupt market dynamics.
