Claiming Your Tokens
If someone has vested tokens to you, this guide shows how to claim them.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”- A Solana wallet (e.g., Phantom or Backpack)
- Some SOL for transaction fees (a small amount — typically less than 0.001 SOL per claim)
Step 1: Connect your wallet
Section titled “Step 1: Connect your wallet”- Go to the SimplyVest app
- Click Sign In and connect your Solana wallet
- If you’re using an embedded wallet (email/social login), you may need to fund it with a small amount of SOL
Step 2: View your vesting streams
Section titled “Step 2: View your vesting streams”Once connected, your dashboard shows:
- Active vests — streams where tokens are currently vesting
- Claimable amount — how many tokens are available to claim right now
- Vesting progress — a visual progress bar for each stream
- Total vested — the full amount allocated to you
Step 3: Claim tokens
Section titled “Step 3: Claim tokens”- On a vesting stream, click Claim
- Review the claimable amount (you can claim all or a partial amount)
- Sign the transaction with your wallet
- Wait for confirmation (Solana confirms in ~2–5 seconds)
The claimed tokens will appear in your wallet’s token balance.
Linear vesting
Section titled “Linear vesting”Tokens unlock continuously over time. You can claim multiple times as more tokens vest.
Cliff vesting
Section titled “Cliff vesting”No tokens are claimable until the cliff date passes. After the cliff, tokens vest linearly. You may see “Cliff not reached” until that date.
Milestone vesting
Section titled “Milestone vesting”Tokens unlock all at once when the milestone is triggered by the designated authority. You cannot claim before the milestone is reached.
Understanding stream status
Section titled “Understanding stream status”| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Active | Tokens are vesting. You can claim whatever has vested so far. |
| Completed | All tokens have been claimed. The stream is closed. |
| Cancelled | The creator stopped the stream early. Vested tokens are yours to claim; unvested tokens returned to the creator. |
Why can’t I claim?
Section titled “Why can’t I claim?”Possible reasons:
- Cliff not reached — check the cliff date on the stream
- Nothing vested yet — the stream may have just started
- Stream cancelled — you can still claim whatever vested before cancellation
- Already fully claimed — check the claimed amount
Where do my claimed tokens go?
Section titled “Where do my claimed tokens go?”They go directly to your connected Solana wallet. If you don’t have a token account for that mint, one is created automatically when you claim.
Can I claim a partial amount?
Section titled “Can I claim a partial amount?”Yes. You can claim less than the full claimable amount. This is useful if you want to leave some tokens vesting for later.
