# How to vest your esMP token?

**What is esMP token?**

The esMP token is a novel take on the ERC20 standard, designed to both enhance utility and mitigate selling pressure. Upon acquisition, it integrates effortlessly into your wallet, facilitating a straightforward conversion to MP tokens at a 1:1 ratio following a 30-day vesting period on the MerlinSwap platform. This process is tailored to simplify and enhance your investment journey.

**Below is a tutorial to guide users on how to vest esMP tokens:**

1. Navigate to the “$MP” [page](https://merlinswap.org/MP) and scroll to the bottom of the page.
