Vesting

In crypto terms, vesting refers to the process by which tokens or crypto assets are gradually released over a predetermined period before they can be fully utilized by the holder, investor, team or other stakeholders. Vesting ensures that parties have a long-term interest in the project, as they can't sell all their tokens immediately upon release.

Cliff

In crypto terms, a "cliff" refers to a period of time at the beginning of a vesting schedule during which no tokens or crypto assets are released to investors, team or other stakeholders. It acts as a waiting period before any tokens are vested. Once the cliff period expires, the holder becomes eligible to receive a portion or all of the tokens according to the vesting schedule.
