Notizie in breve

PANews reported on January 30th that Story Protocol has strategically postponed the unlocking of early investor and team tokens by six months, now scheduled for August of this year rather than the initially planned February 2026 timeline. This decision, which received approval from prominent backers including a16z and Polychain Capital, is designed to mitigate short-term selling pressure and reduce market volatility. The board believes this delay will help avoid the typical sell-offs that tend to occur ahead of unlocking events. Moreover, they plan to utilize this six-month window to strengthen revenue streams, validate product-market fit, and forge a partnership with a leading AI company. According to the revised schedule, investors will receive 25.00% of their tokens 18 months after the Token Generation Event, with the remaining allocation unlocking incrementally each month until month 42.
