5. **Let's continue with creating the Vesting smart contract.**

   * In this example, we'll create a **Vesting** smart contract. Token vesting is a mechanism used to distribute tokens gradually to stakeholders like team members, advisors, and investors over a set period. This ensures long-term commitment to the project and aligns their interests with its success.<br>

   * **Fill in the required information for your Vesting smart contract:**

     1. **Address of Vesting Token**
        * This is the address of the token that will be distributed through the vesting process.
     2. **Initial Owner Address**
        * Example: `0x5B61710DBe0cb76078B95B0BB9AEB33FA34A3A65`
        * This is the address of the initial owner who will manage the vesting process and distribute tokens to the stakeholders over time.

     After filling in both fields, click the **NEXT** button.

6. **Pay $50 in USDT via MetaMask**. Ensure you have enough tokens for the transaction. If you are using Binance Smart Chain, you'll need approximately $5 in BNB, $3 in MATIC for Polygon, or $15-$20 in ETH for Ethereum. Click **NEXT** and confirm the transaction (up to 3 confirmations may be required). The smart contract creation usually takes around 30 seconds.
