## CELT Token Vesting Simulation Chart

* The chart below is comparing the unlock speed of tokens that are subject of linear vesting.
* Keep in mind that Partners Pool & Affiliate Pool will go to market only after the real demand is brought to the market. That makes the tokenomics sustainable and does not require any conditions for airdrop users.

TODO — embed vesting simulation chart at `../public/vesting-chart.png`.
