# Token Claiming **Token claiming** is the process of receiving the tokens you purchased or earned during a sale once they become available.\ After a project’s **Token Generation Event (TGE)**, part of your allocation may unlock right away, while the rest is released gradually over time through a **vesting schedule**. On Mosaic, all claims happen directly through the platform. The system connects to the project’s smart contract, shows how much of your allocation is unlocked, and lets you claim it safely with a single transaction. Each claim is **on-chain and verifiable**, meaning you can check your transaction anytime on the block explorer. #### **What Is Vesting?** **Vesting** means your purchased tokens are released gradually over time instead of all at once.\ This schedule helps projects stay sustainable and fair by preventing large, instant sell-offs right after launch. Typically, a portion of your tokens becomes available at the **Token Generation Event (TGE)** — that’s called the **initial unlock** — and the rest is released in **regular intervals** (for example, monthly) according to the project’s **vesting schedule**. On Mosaic, you can easily track and claim each unlocked portion through the **vesting interface**, which reads the live data from the project’s smart contract. Every claim is fully **on-chain and transparent**. --- # 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.
