🔐Vesting Configuration
Vesting is the gatekeeper of every other Project Launch Tool. Until vesting deploys, the Launchpad, Liquidity Pool, Staking, and DAO steps are locked.
A vesting plan does two things:
Splits part of the supply into Special Allocations (Staking Rewards, Public Sale, Liquidity Pool) — these unlock the corresponding tools.
Splits the rest into Vesting Allocations (Team, Advisors, Ecosystem reserve, etc.) with per-beneficiary cliffs and durations.
Total of all allocations must equal exactly 100% — the form blocks submission otherwise.
Prerequisites
Project created (see Project Creation Guide)
HTR or DZR for the vesting transaction fee
Allocation plan: percentages, beneficiary addresses, cliff/vest periods
Opening Vesting Setup
From the project dashboard's setup checklist, click Manage on Configure Vesting — or use the sidebar's Vesting entry under Finance.
For a project where vesting has not yet been configured, you land on the Configure Project Vesting form at /admin/vesting/create. For projects where vesting already exists, you land on the Vesting Manage view at /admin/vesting/manage (covered at the bottom of this page).
If you arrive at this page by clicking Manage on a still-locked feature (Launchpad, Liquidity, Staking, DAO), an amber Unlock hint banner at the top tells you which Special Allocation field to fill to unlock it.
Quick-start Templates
At the top of the setup form, three presets seed the entire allocation in one click. You can edit any value after applying:
Balanced DeFi
Classic DeFi launch — split across public sale, ecosystem, and team
Community First
More tokens for public sale and staking, less for insiders
Minimal / Solo
Simple distribution for a solo founder or small team
Special Allocations
These three fields unlock the corresponding tools when set above 0%:
Staking Rewards (%)
Creates a staking pool that distributes this % of the supply over the configured pool duration. Also required before DAO Governance can be set up.
Public Sale (%)
Reserves this % of the supply for the Launchpad crowdsale.
Liquidity Pool (%)
Reserves this % to seed the Dozer DEX pool.
For staking, you also pick a Staking Pool Duration from a dropdown. The UI automatically derives the daily reward rate from staking allocation ÷ duration.
Vesting Allocations
Add one row per beneficiary group. Common patterns:
Team
6–12 mo
24–48 mo
15–25%
Advisors
0–3 mo
12–24 mo
2–5%
Investors
per agreement
12–36 mo
20–40%
Ecosystem
0 mo
24–36 mo
varies
Per-row fields:
Name — display label (e.g. "Team, Advisors, etc.")
Percentage (%) — share of total supply
Beneficiary Address — Hathor address that can claim the vested tokens (toggle Use owner address to default to your wallet)
Cliff (months) — initial lock period; nothing unlocks during this
Vesting (months) — linear release window after the cliff
The Allocation Summary card at the bottom of the form tallies Special + Vesting totals. The Configure Vesting button stays disabled until the total equals exactly 100% with no unfilled rows.
Review & Deploy
Verify percentages add up as planned.
Verify every beneficiary address — these are irreversible.
Click Configure Vesting.
Approve the transaction in the Hathor wallet and enter your PIN.
Once confirmed:
The corresponding tools (Launchpad / Liquidity / Staking) unlock in the dashboard checklist.
The staking pool is live immediately if a Staking Rewards % was set.
The Liquidity Pool reserves the DZR allocation, ready to pair with HTR via the Liquidity tool.
The Vesting Manage View
After deployment, the Vesting page shows the active configuration.
Header KPIs:
Status — Active / Inactive
Total allocated — full supply allocated through vesting
Total vested — sum already unlocked across all beneficiaries
Ecosystem Allocations (the label used in the Manage view) lists Staking, Public Sale, Liquidity Pool — each with a Manage button that links to the corresponding tool (Create for ones not yet deployed).
Your Vesting Schedule is a per-allocation table:
Allocation
Name + Vesting tag
Beneficiary
Truncated Hathor address
Total
Total tokens reserved
Progress
% unlocked so far (linear progress bar)
Cliff / Vest
e.g. 12mo / 24mo
Beneficiaries view this same schedule from the public token page — see the Token Claiming guide.
Best Practices
Plan ecosystem % first: it determines how much remains for team/advisors/investors.
Test on testnet with realistic allocations before mainnet.
Use multisig addresses for large team or treasury allocations.
Document publicly: post your vesting schedule on your project's site for transparency.
Troubleshooting
Configure Vesting button disabled
Total allocations exceed 100% — reduce some rows
Beneficiary field rejects address
Address must be a valid Hathor address; check for whitespace
Staking tool doesn't unlock after deploy
Staking Rewards % was 0 — re-configure or skip staking
Transaction fails
Check HTR/DZR balance and that the wallet session hasn't expired
Next Steps
Launchpad / Crowdsale — if you allocated a Public Sale %
Staking — if you allocated Staking Rewards %
Token Claiming — what beneficiaries see and how they claim
