Unlock refers to the release of tokens that were previously locked based on conditions from investment rounds or other funding programs.
Typically, the team carefully considers tokenomics to avoid putting significant selling pressure at various #unlock stages and potentially crashing the token price. However, certain factors such as insufficient liquidity or early investors locking in profits right after token unlocking can significantly impact the asset's prices.
