Share Vesting App


The Share Vesting app helps companies align incentives by issuing equity on a schedule. It allows you to configure standard vesting terms (like cliffs and durations), assign vesting schedules to team members, and maintain enforceable clawback rights for unvested shares.


How it Works

Share vesting ensures equity is earned over time—protecting the company and encouraging long-term commitment. Here’s what you can do:

  • Enable vesting

Toggle vesting on for any equity allocation during the issuance process.

  • Customize vesting schedule
    • Vesting Duration: How long the shares will take to fully vest (e.g., 48 months)
    • Cliff Period: When the first shares unlock (e.g., 12 months)
    • Cliff Amount: Percentage of shares released at the cliff (e.g., 25%)
  • Review vesting timeline

A preview lets you confirm the schedule before you finalize the allocation. Vesting logic is tied directly to the cap table and ownership records.


Enforcement and Clawbacks

While shares are vesting, they are considered allocated but not fully owned. If a teammate leaves before their shares are fully vested, any unvested portion can be clawed back by the organization.


Why Use This App

  • Incentive alignment: Standardized, transparent vesting helps build trust and retain talent
  • Protects your cap table: Ensure equity only goes to long-term contributors
  • Legally enforceable: Vesting terms are built into the onchain equity record
  • Seamless integration: Works directly with your Cap Table and Shareholder records
