Transparency and accountability
All vesting schedules for both the developer allocation and the marketing reserve are enforced by smart contracts — no manual unlocks are possible before the scheduled dates. The extended vesting periods align the team’s and the protocol’s long-term incentives with those of token holders.
All marketing and developer wallet addresses are publicly viewable on-chain. Ghost Link publishes quarterly spending reports covering how released funds were used. You can verify current locked and unlocked balances directly through any Solana block explorer using the published wallet addresses.
