Commentary versus actual token vesting

Emission is documented to a standard few projects match — three distinct phases, each established by a numbered on-chain referendum with published parameters, and the current stepped schedule mapped through to 2028. The genesis position is simpler than it looks: everything became transferable on a single date in August 2020, so no cliffs or vesting tails apply. Two things hold this at 6: the 2019 and 2020 private sale lock-up terms could not be recovered from any source, and Tokenomist contradicts itself on whether the token is fully unlocked. A first-party page setting out the original private sale terms would resolve the substantive half.
