– Open vesting structure introduced with July 16 KuCoin listing to ensure transparency and protect community interests
– Smart contract-based automatic vesting system publicly available via open-source code
– HAiO: “We are a Web3 project that proves trust through code, not words”
HAiO, the AI music platform that fuses artificial intelligence with Web3 technologies, announced on July 18 that it has introduced an ‘open vesting program’ in conjunction with its official listing on global exchange KuCoin, which took place on July 16.
As of July 16 at 11:00 UTC (20:00 KST), HAiO was officially listed on KuCoin, enabling global spot trading of its native token HAIO against USDT.
HAiO offers a service where anyone can create playlists via AI Agents, operate their own music channels, and earn rewards — part of its mission to democratize music creation and monetization.
The new vesting programs are 100% run as smart contracts on the Solana blockchain and are actually up on GitHub for your perusal for yourself (open sourced). This also tells people that people can look at and verify what exactly the vesting logic is, both in terms of the cliff and the linear distribution schedules.
Unlike many other projects that have manual unlocks or leave room for centralized admin control, HAiO’s vesting program cannot be changed and is decentralized. After the deployment, the schedule and structure cannot be changed not even by admins. Every vesting and unlocking schedule, along with distribution details, are on-chain and are public – you can follow them on a real-time basis.
This design embodies HAiO’s Web3 philosophy that ‘trust is coded.’ Many are not though and instead of trusting promises, HAiO has developed a completely fair and transparent process where tokens are distributed via automated and known way. That’s an intentional change; a response to past industry controversies arising from amorphous or too-easily-manipulated vesting schedules.
The vesting process began simultaneously with the Token Generation Event (TGE). From the start, there have been no administrator privileges to alter schedules or trigger early distributions. The only exception is a minimal function for rent refunds after the vesting period ends. Everything else — including who receives how much and when — is transparently encoded and publicly accessible via the blockchain.
Joel Roberts, CEO of HAiO, stated “In the Web3 ecosystem, trust isn’t optional — it’s foundational. HAiO will prove that trust through code, not words.” He added, “Transparent vesting is more than just a technical feature — it offers predictability and peace of mind for users, investors, and partners alike.”
The full codebase for the HAiO vesting program is available for review at:

As of now, HAiO has recorded over 220,000 AI-generated songs. The platform has 470,000 connected wallets, 10,000 active music channels, 60,000 playlists, and 280,000 monthly active users.
HAiO continues to grow its presence online and in the community. Its open vesting program is available on GitHub, and its token trades globally on KuCoin, as announced on the exchange’s official page. The platform’s website and playlist page encourage users to check out its AI music tools. Under CEO Joel Roberts, HAiO has already captured over 2m feedback items with Tune AI and has partnered with over 10 leading Web3 projects, demonstrating its large and very active base of users and hunger for innovation.
