What Are Vesting Schedules? A Closer Look at PancakeSwap’s IFO Vesting Schedules
.jpeg)

Vesting schedules limit the selling pressure of stakeholders and are essential for the growth of any project.
Understanding Crypto Vesting
Vesting is an essential strategy in the crypto industry. The concept has a major effect on the price of crypto assets. Protocols that utilize the strategy well have a better chance of sustaining and managing the price fluctuation of their native assets.
Crypto projects lock up a portion of their token supply before distribution. Crypto vesting is the process of holding, locking, and distributing tokens from an Initial Coin Offering (ICO).
Vesting Schedules
The Vesting Schedule is announced by projects that utilize crypto vesting. It defines the period during which the tokens purchased during ICO cannot be sold by stakeholders, and the intervals at which they can sell the tokens. Tokens released by the project according to the vesting schedule are called “vested tokens.”
The length of vesting schedules varies for every project, and the percentage of tokens released at each interval is set to reduce selling pressure. Sometimes, drawn-out vesting schedules may be a turn-off for early-stage investors.
To understand vesting schedules better, we will look at one of BNB Chain’s top platforms, PancakeSwap. The network's number one Decentralized Exchange (DEX) utilizes crypto vesting for its Initial Farm Offerings (IFO).
PancakeSwap IFO Vesting Schedule
PancakeSwap IFO gives investors early access to new tokens that the DEX will add to its platform. Similar to some ICOs, PancakeSwap IFOs have a vesting schedule. Let’s look at the latest IFO by the platform for Meta Apes ($PEEL), which will commence on August 4.

The table below shows that $PEEL tokens are allocated to the team, community rewards, staking rewards, and more. However, for this article, we are interested in the IFO allocation.

The total percentage for IFO is set at 5% (50 Million $PEEL) of the total supply (1 Billion $PEEL), and 30% will be unlocked at the Token Generation Event (TGE). Thus, only 30% of stakeholders' investment will be distributed after the IFO. At this point, holders of $PEEL token can only sell 30% of their entire allocation. This way, holders can not dump all their tokens at launch, negatively affecting the price.
According to the schedule, the remaining 70% will be released block-by-block over 90 days. That means PancakeSwap will distribute 1/90 of $PEEL holdings to each stakeholder every day.
Linear Vesting: In this case, the team will receive the same amount of $PEEL tokens every month for the next five years. The 6-month cliff is the lock-up period during which the team cannot sell any tokens.

In summary, for the $PEEL IFO, at launch PancakeSwap will unlock 30% of the tokens purchased by IFO investors. The remaining 70% will be released block-by-block for 90 days. Meanwhile, the team's allocation of $PEEL will be locked up for six months and then distributed over a period of five years.
Read PancakeSwap’s $PEEL IFO document for more details on the IFO sale.
Final Thoughts
A good crypto vesting schedule is important for the growth of any project. As shown in this article, PancakeSwap’s IFO for $PEEL includes an unlocking schedule that aims to reduce initial selling pressure and increase the token’s value in the long run.

Thales Launches Free-to-Play Game Miletus with NFTs and Virtual Fishing Competition
.jpg)
In order to kick off the new game, Thales has organized a virtual fishing competition from March 27th to April 3rd, allowing participants to mint different sets of armor based on their skills and staked $THALES tokens.
Starting With a Fishing Competition
The parimutuel markets protocol Thales has released a free-to-play game, Miletus, with an in-game chat function, wearable NFTs, and new game mechanics, characters, and quests.
Tale of Thales Metaverse is here!
— Thales (@thalesmarket) March 27, 2023
🎮 https://t.co/td7RLmwaWa
New version of this free-to-play online game:
- Concurrent players
- Wearable NFTs
- New game mechanics, characters & quests
And we are celebrating w/ a fishing competition! 🎣
All the info https://t.co/uRtBGqyagR
In order to kickstart the game, Thales launched a virtual fishing competition in the metaverse. The quest began on March 27, 4:30 PM UTC, and will end on April 3, 4:30 PM UTC.
Each fishing attempt will measure three factors: Strength (your ability to hit the "sweet" spot with your line), Reeling ability (your ability to stay within the AB range), and Rarity of the fish caught.
The Regular fisherman set will be available to everyone participating in the launch fishing quest. The top 20% finishers will be able to mint the Camouflage fisherman set at the end of the competition. Those who finish in the top 5% can mint the luxury fisherman set.
Furthermore, the protocol will allow those who have staked $THALES in either Optimism or Arbitrum to claim the OG Armor.
Those who did not stake $THALES within the given time can still mint Bronze, Silver, or Gold armors depending on their volume generated in either the Thales markets DApp or the Overtime markets DApp on Optimism or Arbitrum.
Thales expanded to Arbitrum last September and later to BNB Chain last November. Recently the protocol has also expanded its gamified staking to Arbitrum.
As part of its gamified approach, Thales rewards those who stake THALES each week and incentivizes protocol usage at the same time. There are base and bonus rewards for every weekly staking epoch (which starts every Wednesday).
Thales ($THALES) is trading at $0.7078, up 0.34% in 24 hours. The protocol has a market cap of $26.411 million and a total volume locked (TVL) of $10.72 million.
What is Thales:
Thales is a decentralized finance protocol based on Ethereum Optimism, Polygon and Arbitrum that allows peer-to-peer parimutuel markets to be created. According to the protocol, it forms the basis for a variety of on-chain initiatives, from gamification to AMM-based positional markets.

Open Leverage Collaborates with Floki and Others
After unveiling its permissionless liquidity market to the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) space, Open Leverage has launched the "Genesis Permissionless Liquidity Market" giveaway campaign for users in the blockchain industry.
The lending and margin protocol partnered with numerous DeFi platforms, including Floki, to reward users who utilize its features. According to the platform's thread on Twitter, partners will provide their tokens for users who lend or borrow on pairs with the tag "Genesis Market." Further, a total of 1.45M in the protocol's native $OLE token is up for grabs for users.
As part of the partnership with the MemeFi platform, $FLOKI is now integrated into the Open Leverage ecosystem. This means that $FLOKI holders can utilize their tokens as collateral to borrow assets on the platform. Floki Core Team Member, B, was excited at the collaboration, becoming the first set of tokens integrated into the protocol.
"We're excited to collaborate with Open Leverage as one of the first sets of tokens they integrated for their Genesis Permissionless Liquidity Market. Open Leverage is doing pretty innovative stuff on the BNB chain, which we really love, so we're happy to be a part of this!" B wrote.
Open Leverage expects the Floki community to participate in the campaign and earn rewards, including partners like RACA, BabySwap, BiSwap, Space ID, and Mdex. So, BNB Chain users can borrow assets with other partner tokens as collateral on the platform and earn big.
What is Floki:

Which EVM-compatible blockchain will Baby Doge be going to first: Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche or Arbitrum?
Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche or Arbitrum?
A huge multichain expansion from Baby Doge appears not to be a question of “If?” but “Where?”! The BNB Chain MemeFi project is holding a community vote on which blockchain Baby Doge should expand to initially.
A New Proposal is LIVE ! #BabyDoge plans to make its products multi-chain where should we go next?
— BabyDogeSwap.com LIVE (@BabyDogeCoin) March 29, 2023
Vote here:https://t.co/9gZCaSVOMz pic.twitter.com/4pwbYAMU5y
The voting period started March 29 and ends April 8. After a day of voting, Ethereum holds an early lead. The other Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible networks under consideration are Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism and Avalanche.
According to the proposal, “We're planning on expanding our community to other chains and want to know where you think we should expand to! The core team will base our future multi support based your the response here. [...] initially we plan to take the token locker multichain. Where should we deploy first?”
Yes, the proposal is written as adorably as the appearance of the Baby Doge puppy mascot, but don’t be deceived by looks: The MemeFi project team has posted some serious accomplishments, including furthering the popularity of the Baby Doge Swap exchange ($63 million in TVL), introducing gaming elements to its ecosystem (first game, PVP Chess), and passing the $10 million TVL mark for its Token Locker feature.
As the proposal indicates, the first Baby Doge utility to go multichain will be the Token Locker.
In the 24 hours since the multichain vote went live, the price of $BabyDoge increased 6%, according to CoinGecko.
What is Baby Doge Swap:
Baby Doge Swap is the acclaimed “son” of the popular meme token, DOGE. Baby Doge Swap started out as Baby Doge Coin and is a hyper-deflationary system that progressively increases its scarcity and increases its liquidity. The project is now a fully Decentralized Exchange with swaps, liquidity pools, yield farming, and more. Baby Doge considers its primary utility as building a fun meme community to spread awareness of animal adoption.
