# Locking Methodology

We are exploring two options for how the locked tokens will be managed:

#### Option 1: Rolling 30-Day Locks

* The locked tokens will be locked for 30 days at a time.
* Every 30 days, they will be re-locked for another 30 days.
* This will continue until the index token is launched, which will introduce utility to the PF500 token.
* A portion of the locked tokens will be allocated for community engagement initiatives.

#### Option 2: Long-Term Lock with Gradual Release

* After the initial 30-day lock, the tokens will be locked for an additional 8 months.
* During this period, 2.5% of the locked supply will be released per month.
* These released tokens will be used to fund the further development of the project, such as Dexscreener views / boosts.
* A portion of the locked tokens will be allocated for community engagement initiatives.

Both options are being considered to optimize sustainability, growth, and long-term engagement with the PF500 ecosystem. More details will be shared as the project progresses.
