deBridge Unlocks 50% of DBR Tokens Six Months Post-TGE

deBridge, a cross-chain interoperability protocol, has announced that participants of the LFG event can now claim their 50% allocated portion of the DBR token on the foundation's website. This development comes as part of the token's vesting schedule, which began six months after the Token Generation Event (TGE) in October 2024. Participants who selected "Option 1" during the TGE can also claim their 50% allocated portion along with a bonus.

At the time of its listing on October 17, 2024, the circulating supply of the DBR token was distributed as follows: 10% for the community and bootstrap, 5% for the deBridge Foundation, and 3% for the ecosystem. The remaining 82% of the tokens will be unlocked quarterly over the next three years, starting from six months post-TGE. This phased unlocking is designed to ensure a steady release of tokens into the market, potentially mitigating volatility and supporting the long-term growth of the deBridge ecosystem.

This first quarter vesting unlock post-TGE is a significant milestone for deBridge, as it marks the beginning of a structured token release plan. The unlocking of tokens is expected to provide liquidity to the market and incentivize further participation in the deBridge ecosystem. Participants who have been holding onto their tokens in anticipation of this unlock are now able to access a portion of their allocated DBR tokens, which can be used for various purposes within the deBridge network or traded on supported exchanges.

The deBridge Foundation's decision to implement a phased unlocking schedule reflects a strategic approach to token management. By gradually releasing tokens into the market, the foundation aims to create a balanced ecosystem where token holders, developers, and users can all benefit from the growth and development of the deBridge protocol. This approach also helps to manage expectations and reduce the risk of market manipulation or sudden price fluctuations.

As the deBridge ecosystem continues to evolve, the unlocking of DBR tokens is expected to play a crucial role in driving adoption and innovation. The deBridge Foundation's commitment to a transparent and structured token release plan demonstrates its dedication to building a sustainable and thriving cross-chain interoperability protocol. Participants and stakeholders in the deBridge ecosystem can look forward to further developments and opportunities as the token unlocking process continues over the next three years.
