# 5.4 The mechanics of vesting.
The vesting mechanism allows for the smooth unlocking of user and team tokens, preventing sharp price fluctuations and speculative manipulation. In addition, vesting within Nava DAO is designed to ensure a smooth transition to full decentralization of the platform, gradually transferring governance tokens to active users.
#### Unlocking tokens
**After the token sale concludes, 15% of the tokens purchased by users will be unlocked.** Further, as part of the vesting process, tokens will be unlocked daily (linear vesting) with a fixed percentage of the initial amount of funds remaining in vesting after the TGE being paid out. Each user can individually withdraw tokens every day or withdraw the accumulated amount over a longer period.
#### Important condition:
When purchasing tokens during the sale, the date (week) of purchase is determined. If a user purchased tokens in the 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th week of the sale, the vesting period for these users is reduced by 3 months, and the final vesting period for them will be 9 months.
