## **Step 4: Choose Token And Vesting Details** <a href="#step-4-choose-token-and-lock-details" id="step-4-choose-token-and-lock-details"></a>

1. **Select Token:** Use the dropdown menu to select the LP or ERC-20 token you wish to vest.
2. **Enter Amount:** Specify the amount of tokens you want to vest.
3. **Set Release Percentage:** The release percentage is the percentage of tokens that will be released at each slice interval. Set this to your desired percentage.
4. **Set Slice Period:** The slice period determines the interval at which tokens are released.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
For example, if the slice period is set to 10 days, tokens will be released at the set percentage every 10 days.
{% endhint %}

5. **Set Recipient Address:** This is the address that can release and withdraw the vested tokens.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you set this to someone else's address, they will be able to view and release the tokens instead of you.
{% endhint %}

5. After entering all the necessary details, click the **Lock & Vest Tokens** button at the bottom.
