Equal Distribution

When creating team vesting, the admin specifies:

  • A role (Founder, Early Employee, or Advisor)

  • An array of beneficiaries

  • A totalAmount

The total amount is divided equally among all beneficiaries. For example, creating a Founder vesting with 3 beneficiaries and 3,000,000 WTD gives each founder 1,000,000 WTD.

Accumulation

If the admin creates multiple vesting schedules for the same beneficiary and role, the amounts accumulate. The lock-up and vesting timeline remains the same, but the total vested amount increases.
