+# Sanctum: Should Sanctum offer investors early unlocks of their CLOUD?
+
+## Summary
+This proposal would have empowered the Sanctum Team to offer investors immediate unlocks of their vesting CLOUD tokens in exchange for forfeiting 35% of their holdings to the Team Reserve. With 9% of token supply unlocking monthly over 24 months from investors, the mechanism could have increased the Team Reserve by up to 27 million CLOUD while reducing token overhang. The team committed not to redistribute forfeited tokens for 24 months.

+
+## Significance
+This proposal represents an alternative to hedgeable time-based vesting: a forfeit-for-liquidity mechanism that imposes concrete costs (35% forfeit) on early exit rather than relying on lockups that investors can neutralize through derivatives. The failure suggests either (1) the forfeit rate was too high, (2) investors preferred to wait out vesting, or (3) the mechanism complexity deterred engagement. The proposal demonstrates projects actively experimenting with vesting alternatives that create real alignment costs.
