# 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.

With 9% of token supply unlocking monthly over 24 months, 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 at least 24 months.

## 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.
This proposal represents an alternative to standard time-based vesting through a forfeit-for-liquidity mechanism. Rather than allowing investors to hedge their lockups while maintaining locked appearance, it forces a revealed preference: investors wanting liquidity must pay a concrete 35% cost. The mechanism design attempts to make vesting meaningful through economic sacrifice rather than time restrictions. The proposal's failure may indicate either investor satisfaction with existing vesting terms or reluctance to accept the forfeit cost.
