Hi everyone, I have read a lot about Openzeppelin smart contract but it seems I have to deploy it everytime I want to transfer vested token to any account. For example, let say I have 100 users I would like to transfer vested/locked token to, it seems I have to deploy the vesting smart contract codes for each user because of the constructor. Or am I missing something. I have tried to write my own custom vesting smart contract codes but it is too expensive in term of transaction fees. That is why I am back again to the openzeppelin vesting/timelock sample smart contracts. I will appreciate any suggestion as this is very important and I am at a critical point. Thank you ---

Hi, welcome! 👋 Please do not try to ping, thanks! Sorry, I am not sure what do mean exactly? Do you mean you have 100 tokenA, and then want to distribute to 100 users? ---

You are understanding it correctly. The vesting contract is deployed once for each receiver of vested tokens. They are like a wallet for each user. You can look into using Clones / Minimal Proxies. We have ran a workshop about this here: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/zeppelin/original/3X/4/0/407608147bc42c47cabacac8b7e21f420f6257b4.jpeg "Cheap Contract Deployment Through Clones") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Mw-pMmJ7TA) ---

Hi everyone, I am new here and solidity. @futbol stated that "I have to deploy it everytime I want to transfer vested token to any account.". Can you tell me how to do it? I have some tokens on Avalanche network, and I want to send them some buyers with a time lock. Can you share your code? Thx a lot It is very good being here 🙂 ---

You need to know how to deploy a contract, and ideally how to test it as well so you try it before sending the tokens. Look at the documentation for TokenTimelock: > **[ERC 20 - OpenZeppelin Docs](https://docs.openzeppelin.com/contracts/4.x/api/token/erc20#TokenTimelock)**
