# How long should I wait before vesting?

This is up to you. There are two things at play here. The sooner you vest your received tokens, the sooner they will be unlocked for you. They will also be counted towards ongoing liquidity mining. But, if you vest frequently in smaller batches, you will pay more gas. Nobody can tell you the exact amount of tokens to wait before vesting.
