# Token Management & Distribution
## Product Overview
### What Is Token Vesting?
* Token Vesting can either refer to an increase in legal ownership of tokens over time, or the process of distributing tokens to a stakeholder over time.
* Magna automates token distribution based on custom schedules. Some refer to this as "streaming" when the schedule is continuous instead of periodic.
### Why don't companies do it in-house?
1. **Security:** Potential for bugs or hacks with custom or forked smart contracts.
2. **Stakeholder Experience:** Stakeholders benefit from having an easy to use and understandable UI that helps them understand their allocation, unlock schedule, when they'll receive tokens next, and how to claim them.
3. **Ease of Deployment:** White-glove onboarding, one-click on-chain deployment, and easy onboarding/off boarding of team members.
4. **Management Overhead:** Built for cross-functional teams that include legal, finance, and HR admin users.
