To meet all necessary requirements for an optimal outcome, Tribal will be extending the token release timeline to start October 31, 2024 but decrease the lockup schedule of each holder after the initial release by one third.
Consistent with Tribal’s legal counsel’s guidelines, this extension is not and cannot be a unilateral decision by the team and was supported by more than 90% of private sale holders and 80% of total token sale holders. Tribal will still be honoring the 5% additional airdrop to CoinList participants that was announced last year.
