Claim & Withdraw

Once your Checker Node earns rewards, you can claim them and begin a 180-day vesting period. Before you start, ensure you’re not in a restricted country and that your KYC is completed.

• Claim: Start vesting by selecting a vesting period.

• Withdraw: Transfer ATH that has already completed vesting to your wallet.

Note: The standard vesting period changed from 120 to 180 days on Oct 10, 2024.

Early Withdraw Penalty

If users wish to withdraw early and select the claim period of 30 days, 75% penalty will be applied. The deducted amount will be confiscated by the platform and enter the Aethir total pool.

Fees

Both Claim and Withdraw are on-chain transactions and require standard gas fees.

Each claim also includes a 5 ATH platform fee.

How Claiming Works

When you claim, your vATH begins vesting into ATH over 180 days.

vATH & ATH

vATH (virtual ATH) represents potential rewards that have been earned but not yet claimed⁠. It is an off-chain virtual representation of rewards before claiming⁠.

ATH is the actual cryptos that can be used within the Aethir ecosystem after the vesting period.
