Team Wallet Vesting Explainer

WHAT IT DOES

Team Wallet Vesting Explainer analyzes a team wallet's vesting schedule and explains the unlock risk before you invest. The tool reads the vesting contract or team wallet to detect the vesting parameters — total allocation, start time, cliff duration, vesting duration, released amount, and claimable amount. It also checks for upgradeable proxy patterns and single-owner controls that could allow changes to the vesting schedule. The tool then uses AI to generate a plain-language explanation of the team's vesting schedule: how many tokens the team controls, when the vesting started, how long the cliff is (if any), how the tokens unlock over the vesting period, how much has been released, how much is currently claimable, and the risk this poses to token holders. Results include a risk level, vesting grade (A-D), team allocation, vesting start, cliff duration, vesting duration, released amount, claimable amount, upgradeability status, owner controls, flags, and a comprehensive AI-generated explanation. The tool operates entirely read-only — no transactions are sent, no signatures are required. The AI assessment is designed to help you identify tokens where the team's unlock schedule poses a risk to token holders.

HOW TO USE

Connect your EVM wallet using the "Connect" button in the header. Select the network where the token or vesting contract is deployed from the dropdown menu. Enter the team wallet or vesting contract address you wish to analyze. Optionally enter the token address if you know it — this helps the tool provide more context. Click "Explain vesting schedule" to begin the analysis. The tool reads the vesting parameters from the contract, detects risk patterns, and sends the data to the AI for a plain-English vesting explanation. Results appear within seconds, showing the team wallet, chain, risk level, vesting grade, team allocation, vesting start, cliff duration, vesting duration, released amount, claimable amount, upgradeability status, owner controls, flags, and a comprehensive AI-generated explanation written in clear, conversational language.

VESTING RISK DETECTION AND SCORING

The tool uses a pattern-based approach to detect vesting risk from the contract bytecode. It scans for vesting-related keywords (vesting, vest) and estimates vesting parameters based on contract patterns. The total allocation is estimated from the contract's token balance or vesting configuration. The start time is estimated from the contract creation or vesting start pattern. The cliff duration is detected from "cliff" patterns and ranges from 0 to 180 days. The vesting duration is detected from "duration" or "period" patterns and ranges from 30 to 730 days. The released amount and claimable amount are estimated from the vesting progress. The risk score is calculated based on: no cliff (2 points), very short vesting under 90 days (2 points), short vesting 90-180 days (1 point), large team allocation over 20% (2 points), upgradeable proxy (1 point), and owner controls (1 point). The AI receives all this data and is prompted to explain the team's vesting schedule in plain language — stating how many tokens the team controls, when the vesting started, how long the cliff is, how the tokens unlock, how much has been released, how much is currently claimable, and the risk this poses to token holders. The AI is also instructed to state plainly what it cannot verify — that it reads on-chain vesting parameters, not the team's off-chain intentions, future behavior, or the legitimacy of the team wallet.

WHAT IT CANNOT SEE

This tool cannot definitively verify that the team will honor the vesting schedule — only reads the vesting parameters from the contract. It cannot detect off-chain vesting agreements not reflected on-chain — some teams may have side agreements that override the on-chain schedule. The tool cannot predict future changes to the vesting schedule — vesting parameters can sometimes be changed via upgrades or governance. Legitimate teams may have legitimate reasons for short vesting or large allocations — a short vesting period is not automatically a scam. The tool cannot verify the identity or trustworthiness of the team — it only reads the on-chain configuration. The tool cannot detect if the team wallet has been compromised. The tool cannot detect if the team has already sold tokens off-chain. The tool cannot predict the team's future behavior or whether they will dump tokens. The tool cannot verify that the vesting contract is the correct one for the token. The tool cannot detect if the vesting schedule has been manipulated or misconfigured.

PLEASE NOTE

Team Wallet Vesting Explainer supports EVM-compatible chains only (Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, and others). The tool is read-only and never requests wallet signatures or transaction approvals. Vesting assessments are AI-generated from on-chain data and estimated metrics — always verify vesting schedules through the project's official documentation and independent research before investing. The AI assessment is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial or legal advice. A team with a long vesting schedule is not necessarily trustworthy — always conduct thorough due diligence before investing.
