+# 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 (which would remain locked for 24 months). 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.

+
+## Significance
+This proposal demonstrates an alternative to standard time-based vesting: forfeit-for-liquidity mechanisms that create economic cost rather than relying on hedgeable time locks. The 35% forfeit structure attempts to align investors through economic sacrifice rather than temporal restriction. The failure suggests either the economic terms were unattractive to investors or the mechanism complexity deterred participation.
+
+The proposal is notable for attempting to address token overhang and investor liquidity simultaneously while strengthening team reserves, but the market rejected this specific implementation.
