Understanding Your Vesting Schedule

Token vesting is a time-based unlock mechanism. Your tokens are allocated but locked, releasing gradually over time to ensure long-term commitment.

Cliff Period

Initial lock period (e.g., 30 days) before any tokens unlock. Nothing can be claimed during cliff.

Linear Vesting

After cliff, tokens unlock gradually each day. Unlock rate = Total / (Duration - Cliff).

Claiming

You can claim anytime after cliff. Gas cost is ~$0.01. Unclaimed tokens continue vesting.

Example Vesting Timeline

Total Allocation
100,000,000 tokens
Vesting Duration
180 days (6 months)
Cliff Period
30 days (1 month)
Day 0 - Day 30 (Cliff)
0% unlocked | Cannot claim yet
Day 31 (Cliff Ends)
Vesting starts | Daily unlock begins
Day 60 (1 month after cliff)
20% unlocked | 20M tokens claimable
Day 90 (2 months after cliff)
40% unlocked | 40M tokens claimable
Day 180 (Fully Vested)
100% unlocked | All 100M tokens available

How to Claim Step-by-Step

Dashboard → Vesting

Click the Claim Button

When tokens are available, you'll see a green "Claim" button showing how many tokens you can claim.

Example: [Claim 16,666,667 FILM]

⚠️ Note: If button is disabled or shows "Cliff: X days remaining", you need to wait until the cliff period ends.

Confirm in Your Wallet

Your wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, etc.) will pop up asking you to confirm the transaction.

Review gas fee:Should be ~$0.01 on Base network
Verify token amount:Matches what's shown on claim button
Click Confirm:Transaction submits to blockchain
Wait 5-10 seconds:Tokens appear in your wallet

💡 Tip: After claiming, you may need to manually add the token to your wallet to see the balance. Use "Import Token" with the token contract address.

Claiming Best Practices

💡 Claim Periodically, Not Daily

Tokens continue vesting whether you claim or not. Claim weekly or monthly to save on gas fees (~$0.01 per claim).

💡 Have Some ETH for Gas

You need a tiny bit of ETH (~$0.01-0.05) to pay for transaction fees. Keep a small amount in your wallet.

💡 Verify on Block Explorer

After claiming, you can verify the transaction on BaseScan using the transaction hash from your wallet.

Troubleshooting

Q: The claim button is disabled. Why?

A: Common reasons:

  • Cliff period hasn't ended yet (check countdown)
  • No tokens vested yet (too early in schedule)
  • Wrong network (make sure you're on Base)
  • Wallet not connected

Q: I claimed but don't see tokens in my wallet

A: You need to import the custom token. In MetaMask: Assets → Import Tokens → paste token contract address → Add. Check the project page for the token address.

Q: Transaction failed or pending forever

A: Check BaseScan for the exact error. Common fixes: increase gas price, ensure sufficient ETH for gas, try again after a few minutes. If still stuck, contact support with transaction hash.
