FAQs
What is CLNY?
CLNY is the native token of the Colony platform, used for governance and utility within the network.
Why do I need to claim my CLNY tokens?
Tokens granted through a vesting contract are not immediately available. They vest over time, and you need to claim them once they become available according to your vesting schedule.
Can I claim tokens before they are vested?
No, you can only claim tokens that have vested. Attempting to claim more than the vested amount will result in a transaction error.
What happens if I don't claim my tokens immediately?
Your vested tokens will remain in the vesting contract until you claim them. There is no penalty for claiming them at a later time.
