Purpose of Vesting #
MUTA is not a short-term payout.
It represents participation in a long-term ecosystem.
Vesting exists to:
- protect the early economy from speculative pressure;
- align creators with the long-term growth of the world;
- reward sustained contribution, not one-off work;
- ensure transparent and predictable token distribution.
Who Vesting Applies To #
Vesting applies to:
- 💠 MUTA tokens earned through creator contributions
Vesting does not apply to:
- 💵 Cash payments (USD)
- 🧬 NFT rewards (NFTs are minted and transferred immediately)
Standard Vesting Model for Creators #
Default vesting period: 6 months
Unlock Schedule #
- 10% — unlocked immediately
- after work approval
- usable and transferable
- 30% — unlocked after 3 months

Why This Model #
- Immediate 10% Confirms real value and trust from day one.
- 3-month cliff Filters out purely speculative participation.
- 6-month completion Encourages creators to stay involved as the ecosystem evolves.
This model is designed to be creator-friendly, not punitive.
Early-Stage Rule (Q1–Q2) #
During the early stages of the project:
- vesting applies to all creator MUTA rewards;
- rules are identical for everyone;
- no retroactive changes are made.
This protects the economy while the ecosystem is forming.
Long-Term Contributors #
For long-term or core contributors:
- vesting may be reduced or removed;
- adjustments require explicit approval;
- decisions are recorded transparently.
This applies only to sustained participation, not one-time tasks.
Token Reference #
At the time of issuance:
- 1 MUTA is referenced internally as ~$1 USD
This is a reference value only, not a promise or guarantee.
Market price is defined by supply, demand, and ecosystem activity.
Transparency & On-Chain Logic #
- all vesting schedules are visible on-chain;
- unlocks follow predefined rules;
- no manual intervention or hidden changes.
