How Vesting Contract Purchases Work
When you purchase a vesting contract, here's exactly what happens — and why your tokens are never in our custody:
✓ Zero Custody Model
Your CANDI tokens move directly from the protocol's token vault into a Streamflow vesting stream that you own. We never hold your tokens. The stream is tied to your wallet and vests linearly over 5 years. You can claim unlocked tokens anytime, or even transfer the entire stream to another wallet via our marketplace.
Custom Programs
We build only what's unique to CANDI: the sales mechanism, revenue routing, and marketplace. Everything else uses battle-tested partners.
Partner Integrations
🤝Trusted Partners
Battle-tested protocols we integrate with instead of building ourselves
🤔Why Don't We Build These Ourselves?
Security First
These protocols have been audited multiple times and secure billions in TVL.
Battle Tested
Years of production use with real users and real money at stake.
Ship Faster
Focus on what makes CANDI unique, not reinventing infrastructure.
Transparency
Open-source partners means anyone can verify the code.
Your tokens never touch our custody
Vesting is held by Streamflow, buybacks by Jupiter, governance by Squads. We can't rug even if we wanted to.
