## Summary

### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to allow investors to unlock their vested CLOUD immediately by forfeiting 35% of their holdings to the Team Reserve, potentially increasing the reserve by up to 27 million CLOUD and reducing token overhang.

### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
Investors will gain immediate access to a portion of their CLOUD tokens, while the Sanctum Team will strengthen their reserve.

#### 📈 Upside Potential
This move could enhance liquidity and investor satisfaction by providing early access to funds while bolstering the Team Reserve.

#### 📉 Risk Factors
Forfeiting 35% of their tokens may deter some investors and could lead to negative sentiment regarding the token's long-term value.

## Content

9% of token supply from investors is currently unlocking monthly for next 24 months.

This proposal would empower the Sanctum Team to offer investors immediate unlocks of their vesting CLOUD, forfeiting 35% of their CLOUD to the Team Reserve (which the team undertakes not to redistribute for at least the next 24 months).

The net result would be an increase of up to 27 million additional CLOUD to the Team Reserve & a decreased token overhang.
