# Team, Advisors, and Investors

A portion of the tokens is distributed to the team and investors to fund initial development.

The total amount of tokens dedicated here is as follows: 23% for the Core team, 2% for the Advisors, and 10% for the Investors.

Team tokens will vest over 4 years with an initial 15-month lockup.

Advisor and Investor tokens will vest over 2 years with an initial 12-month lockup.

The first year is crucial for ACE’s economy to establish a foothold as user growth and Use-to-Earn rewards come online.

To shelter ACE during this crucial time period, Investor, Advisor and Team tokens have 12, 12, and 15-month lockups, respectively. The team’s full token load is protracted over 4 years to ensure their incentives are aligned with the long-term health of ACE.

Ownership will gradually shift to the community over time as they accumulate Use-to-Earn rewards; beyond 4 years, the community should be the dominant governance decision-maker. In future years, if development needs to grow, additional team hires will be compensated from the Ecosystem Fund with the ACE DAO approval.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.useace.com/token-distribution-and-issuance/team-advisors-and-investors.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
