 At current prices, the unlock will see a little more than $30 million worth of OP tokens hit the market, with $15.49 million going to core contributors and $14.26 million set aside for investors. 
 Token unlocking events form a core part of many main cryptocurrency projects, with many teams choosing to gradually release tokens to the market instead of unleashing them all at once. Typically however, unlocking events are viewed by investors as likely to put pressure on prices, as a new supply of tokens becomes available for sale.
