After careful consideration, we've decided to delay the Vertex LBA & TGE to November.

It’s for a good reason - We’re cooking up something exciting and want to ensure the best launch experience possible for our community 🙌

The final epoch of the Initial Token Phase (Epoch #6) will still conclude in October as planned.

Epoch #7, the start of the Ongoing Incentives phase, begins in October!

Those tokens will be unlocked for the LBA and TGE.
