| title: Polkadot Claims | ||
| sidebar_label: Claims | ||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| If you made a DOT purchase in one of the pre-launch sales, then you will need to claim your DOT | ||
| tokens. For those who made a pre-genesis claim by sending a claim transaction to the Claims Contract | ||
| on Ethereum, you will still need to send a free _attest_ transaction that will agree to the terms | ||
| and conditions of your allocation. If you did not make a pre-genesis claim, then you will claim and | ||
| attest in a single transaction. | ||
|
|
||
| This guide will walk you through the steps for either making a claim or attesting to the statement. | ||
|
|
||
| If you are making a claim on Polkadot for the first time, please read on below in the | ||
| [making a claim](#making-a-claim) section. If you've already claimed during the pre-genesis claims | ||
| period, please proceed to the [attesting to a statement](#attesting-to-a-statement) section instead. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Making a Claim | ||
|
|
||
| If you did not make a claim in the pre-genesis claims period, then you are able to claim your DOT | ||
| tokens after genesis. There is no time limit for making your claim so feel free to do this whenever | ||
| you are most comfortable. | ||
|
|
||
| > Note: When you make a claim, you will also attest to the agreement that corresponds to your DOT | ||
| > allocation. The two actions "claim" and "attest" are done in a single transaction, but for the | ||
| > most part this is simplified from the perspective of the user. | ||
|
|
||
| ### What You Will Need | ||
|
|
||
| - The Ethereum account that holds the DOT indicator tokens | ||
| - The MyCrypto wallet | ||
| - A Polkadot account | ||
|
|
||
| You should already have your Ethereum account that holds the DOT indicator tokens from Polkadot's | ||
| prior sales. You will need to have access to this account in order to make a signature. | ||
|
|
||
| [MyCrypto][] is a versatile wallet that supports a variety of storage methods for your Ethereum | ||

Yeah, it was linked in the previous sentence, but to me this just looks awkward saying "go to their downloads page" without a link or reference. My preference would be to move the link to here. |

| operating system. This is important because the latest version will always have the latest security | ||
| patches. | ||

|
||

|
|
||
| You will need a Polkadot account to claim your DOTs. Please follow the instructions | ||
| on the [account generation][] page for generating a new Polkadot account. | ||
|
|
||
| #### Claiming your DOT with MyCrypto | ||
|
|
||
| The Polkadot JS [Claims app][] helps you sign a message from MyCrypto. MyCrypto is a good choice in | ||
| case you have stored the key to the Ethereum account holding your DOT indicator tokens on a hardware | ||
| device like a Ledger Nano S or a Trezor. It also supports raw private keys, mnemonics, and Parity | ||

|
|
||
| Once you've downloaded MyCrypto and have it running locally (we recommend an air-gapped computer for | ||
| maximum security), you can start by navigating to the Claims app on Polkadot-JS Apps. Select the | ||
| account you would like to claim the DOTs into and click the blue "Continue" button to proceed. Your | ||
| screen should look something like this: | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| Now you will need to provide the Ethereum address that is associated with the DOT indicator tokens | ||
| that you will claim. Enter the Ethereum address into the box and click "Continue". | ||

||
|
|
||
| Next your screen should look the image below. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| The hex-encoded string that follows the sentence: "Pay DOTs to the Polkadot account:" is the | ||
| hex-encoded public key of your Polkadot account, minus the `0x` prefix. | ||
|
|
||
| The next step is to go to the MyCrypto application and click on "Sign & Verify Message" tab. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| This will prompt you to select a method for unlocking your wallet. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| After unlocking your wallet, paste the message from Polkadot JS into the "Message" box. | ||
|

|
|
||
| When you click "Sign Message" you will get a JSON output like the one below: | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| Copy and paste the JSON output of the signed message from MyCrypto into the input box on the | ||
| Polkadot JS UI and click "Confirm Claim." | ||
|
|
||
|   | ||
|
|
||
| A green box will appear telling you the amount to claim with a "Claim" button to make the claim. | ||
| Click on the "Claim" button and click "Submit (no signature)" to complete the claim. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| If this claim succeeded, then you will see a success message and your DOTs will be in the account | ||
| that you claimed to. | ||
|
|
||
| #### Verifying your Claim | ||
|
|
||
| After you make an on-chain claim for DOTs, your balance should be updated on the Polkadot UI | ||
| immediately. | ||
|
|
||
| Having trouble? Get support in the DOT [Claims Support][] channel. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| Congratulations, you have now completed the process for claiming and signing for your DOTs. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Third Party Claims Processes | ||
|
|
||
| #### Coinbase Custody | ||
|
|
||
| > Please note that using Coinbase Custody for the claims process requires your account to contain at | ||
| > least 1,000 DOTs. There are also fees associated with Coinbase Custody. | ||
|
|
||
| 1. To open an account please contact Coinbase Custody directly at sales@coinbase.com | ||
| 1. Once you’ve opened an account, Coinbase Custody will generate a DOT address for you to use in the | ||
| claims process and send it to you. | ||
| 1. You may then claim your tokens using your Coinbase Custody DOT address and your tokens will | ||
| appear in your Coinbase Custody account. | ||
|
|
||
| For questions about claiming with Coinbase Custody, please contact sales@coinbase.com. | ||
|
|
||
| #### Other Third Party Processes | ||
|
|
||
| **We do not recommend using other third-party apps or processes to perform your claim or acquire | ||
| DOT.** | ||
|
|
||
| Claiming using other third-party processes can lead to the loss of your allocation; therefore we | ||
| cannot recommend using any third party apps to do so. Manually specifying your transaction data, as | ||
| specified in our claims process, or by using Coinbase Custody, is the only way to be certain that | ||
| you will receive your allocation. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Attesting to a Statement | ||
|
|
||
| If you've already made a pre-genesis claim, you still have to agree to a statement using your | ||
| Polkadot account. | ||
|
|
||
| ### What you will need | ||
|
|
||
| - Your Polkadot account unlocked on Polkadot-JS Apps UI. | ||
|
|
||
| You will be sending a free transaction from your Polkadot account on the Polkadot-JS Apps UI. Once | ||
| you make this transaction you will have the tokens available in your account. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Go to Polkadot-JS Apps | ||
|
|
||
| Proceed to [polkadot-js Apps][claims app]. You will need to grant Apps access to your account in | ||
| some way. One way would be to go to the Accounts page and "create" a new account, replacing the | ||
| generated seed or mnemonic with the one belonging to your account. The other way is by using the | ||
| Polkadot-JS extension and entering your seed or mnemonic there, which is generally safer than | ||
| entering it directly to the Apps page. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Make the Attestation | ||
|
|
||
| After entering your account, you should see a red counter appear on the "Claim Tokens" tab on the | ||
| left navigation drawer. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| Click on the "Claim Tokens" tab and you will see a large notification at the top of the page that | ||
| tells you that you need to sign an attestation. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| The notification will display one or more Polkadot addresses that you have loaded in Polkadot-JS | ||
| that you need to sign. Select a Polkadot account with a claim using the drop down selection. If you | ||
| don't see a notification or don't see the selector, please double check that the account has been | ||
| loaded into Polkadot-JS and that it has already claimed during the preclaim period. As always, feel | ||
| free to reach out for help in the [Claims Support][] channel. | ||
|
|
||
| Click "Continue" and you will see a green box appear on the right. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| Click on "Attest" and then "Sign and Submit" to make your free attest transaction. When the | ||
| transaction is included in the block, you will see a green success box appear in the upper right | ||
| corner and the DOTs will be in your account. | ||
