 The `accounts` array in `config.json` specifies the genesis accounts and their balances at chain genesis. These balances are **in addition** of the `bond_supply` field or any validator's self-delegations. In other words, a chain deployer can have a `bond_supply` of `1000000000` and still have an additional genesis account with a balance of `5000000000` of the `bond_denom` (ie. `stake`) specified, meaning they will own a total of `6000000000` of the `bond_denom` at chain genesis. Likewise, a validator will own a total of `1000000` of the `bond_denom` (used for self-delegation) and whatever is specified in the `accounts` array.
 
+An account can also contain an optional `vesting` key, which defines the vesting strategy of the various coins of that account. Note that the coins defined in here are a subset of the main coins of the account. In other words, the coins defined in the `vesting` key must already exist, and must be less than the coins defined directly outside of the `vesting` key. The `start` key is optional (defaults to the start time of the chain), but the `end` key is compulsory, and they both accept Unix time only.

 ### Genesis Coins Total Supply
 
 The total supply of a coin at chain genesis is the sum of the following:
