## When do my BPT tokens unlock?

Your BPT Tokens unlock based on when you participated in Genesis - the earlier you participated the earlier they unlock. See the [Release Schedule](/protocol-overview/launch/eth-egl-release-schedule.md) for how to calculate.&#x20;

## When do my Bonus Voting EGLs unlock?

Your Bonus Voting EGLs unlock with your last BPT token.  See the [Release Schedule](/protocol-overview/launch/eth-egl-release-schedule.md) for how to calculate.

## **What will my release date be if my Genesis unlock date is before the unlock date of my vote?**

Your unlock date will be the longer of the two. For example, if your release date is Aug. 1 but your vote’s unlock date is Aug 14, then your tokens will unlock on Aug. 14. <br>
