+# Three-week linear vesting reduces weekly sell pressure from 80 percent to 33 percent liquidation when applied to DAO payments
+
+When DAO payment recipients immediately liquidate 80% of tokens received, implementing linear 3-week vesting reduces the weekly liquidation rate to 33% of the payment amount because token streaming contracts release only 1/3 of each payment per week, creating a rolling buffer where only the oldest tranche becomes available for sale each week.
+
+## Mechanism
+
+IslandDAO's proposal implemented vesting through token streaming contracts with daily linear release starting from day 1. Under this schedule:
+- Week 1 payment: 1/3 available in week 1, 2/3 locked
+- Week 2 payment: 1/3 available in week 2, 2/3 locked (plus week 1's remaining 2/3)
+- Week 3 payment: 1/3 available in week 3, 2/3 locked (plus week 2's remaining 2/3)
+
+At steady state, each week only 1/3 of that week's payment becomes available, reducing liquidation from 100% to 33% of weekly payment volume.
+
+## Evidence
+
+IslandDAO proposal (2024-12-16) calculated:
+- Weekly payments: 3,000 USDC worth of tokens
+- Baseline selling pressure: 80% (2,400 USDC sold weekly without vesting)
+- Post-vesting liquidation: 33% of 3,000 USDC = 1,000 USDC weekly
+- Absolute reduction: 1,400 USDC per week (58% decrease in sell pressure)
+
+The proposal passed with TWAP settlement at 533,500 USDC market cap threshold (current 518,000 + 3%).
+
+## Limitations
+
+The 80% baseline liquidation rate is self-reported by IslandDAO and unverified against actual on-chain transaction data. The calculation assumes recipients maintain their 80% selling behavior on unvested tokens rather than adjusting behavior in response to the vesting constraint itself. No post-implementation data validates whether actual liquidation matched the 33% prediction.

+# Vesting-induced scarcity in small token markets may drive 10 to 20 percent price increases when sell pressure reduction exceeds 1 percent of market cap
+
+IslandDAO's vesting proposal projected that reducing weekly sell pressure by 1-2% of total market capitalization could drive 10-20% price increases in token markets with limited liquidity, based on the assumption that marginal supply reductions allow organic demand to absorb existing liquidity without being overwhelmed by new selling.
+
+## Calculation
+
+IslandDAO modeled a 518,000 USDC market cap DAO with:
+- Weekly sell pressure reduction: 1,400 USDC (from 2,400 to 1,000 USDC)
+- 3-week cumulative reduction: 4,200 USDC (0.81% of market cap)
+- Projected price sensitivity: 10-20% increase
+
+The proposal presented two scenarios:
+
+**Conservative scenario:**
+- Sell pressure reduction impact: 10% price increase
+- Demand growth from improved sentiment: 5% price increase
+- Total: 15% increase (518k → 595.7k USDC, +77.7k)
+
+**Optimistic scenario:**
+- Sell pressure reduction impact: 15% price increase
+- Demand growth: 10% price increase
+- Total: 25% increase (518k → 647.5k USDC, +129.5k)
+
+The proposal stated: "even modest reductions in sell pressure (1%-2% of market cap) can lead to price increases due to increased scarcity and reduced downward price pressure" in small token ecosystems.
+
+## Limitations
+
+The price sensitivity assumptions are theoretical and derived from a single DAO's internal modeling rather than empirical observation across multiple vesting implementations. The claim assumes demand remains constant while supply decreases, but vesting announcements could signal distress and reduce demand instead. The proposal conflates two distinct effects (supply reduction and sentiment improvement) without isolating their individual contributions or providing evidence that they compound additively.
+
+No post-implementation data validates whether the projected 10-20% range materialized. The relationship between sell pressure reduction and price impact in small markets lacks independent empirical support.

 - **vs pump.fun**: pump.fun is memecoin launch (zero accountability, pure speculation). Futardio is ownership coin launch (futarchy governance, treasury enforcement). Different categories despite both being "launch platforms."
