# Token Freeze

The **Token Release Cliff** graphs the relationship between time (i.e. weeks transpired) and its corresponding price floor (i.e. the minimum possible price of the TEC token at a certain point in time). For example:

## Example of Token Release Cliff*
**The graph above is hypothetical and is not representative of our actual Token Release Cliff*

As tokens begin to thaw, the price floor descends linearly at a slope determined by the amount of weeks transpired, eventually reaching zero when 100% of the TEC tokens are rendered liquid. This would be the end of the Token Thaw period. Ideally, by this time the Commons should be well on its way, advancing token engineering, and the TEC token having firm value backing it.
