# Token Claiming ### Token Claiming Tokens from sales on Fjord are never available during the sale. Instead, participants must claim their tokens after the sale ends. This delay ensures a fair launch environment by preventing premature liquidity creation and protecting the integrity of the sale. *** #### Why Token Claiming Is Important **Protects Sale Integrity**\ Preventing early access to tokens stops participants from setting up liquidity pools or secondary markets before the sale concludes. This helps ensure fair price discovery and participation. **Enables Advanced Features**\ Delayed claiming allows for seamless integration with features like token vesting, streaming, and structured post-sale distribution. **Applies to All Sale Types**\ Whether it’s a fixed price, tiered, overflow, or LBP sale, tokens will always be claimable only once the sale has officially ended. *** #### Project-Controlled Claim Delays In some cases, projects may apply a short delay after the sale ends before tokens can be claimed. This window allows time to finalize LP setup or complete backend processes. If a delay is in place, the interface will clearly show how much time remains until claiming is available. *** #### How to Claim Your Tokens 1. **Wait for the Sale to End**\ You can only claim tokens once the sale is complete. If a delay is active, the claim button will appear with a countdown showing when claiming becomes available. 2. **Click “Claim Tokens”**\ Once the claim period opens, use the interface to redeem your tokens directly to your wallet. 3. **Check Vesting (if applicable)**\ If your tokens are subject to vesting, a link (e.g. to Sablier) will be provided so you can track your vesting schedule in real time. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
