Collect & Lock (royalties, optional)

Where this fits: Compounding in the CLAIM stream · Full guide: Royalties (Barons)

Goal: Compound accrued royalties (ETH) into more veCLAIM.

This is the optional royalty compounding action when you want more veCLAIM instead of liquid ETH. See Strategy & Tips for when compounding beats collecting.

Flow

Time

2–5 minutes

You need

• Accrued ETH available
• An existing lock is optional. If you have no eligible lock, the app can create a new one as long as the entry reaches the 1,000 CLAIM minimum and you are below the max lock count.

Steps

1. Open Overview.
2. Find Accrued ETH near the top of the page.
3. Press Collect & Lock.
4. Choose duration: 7 days – 1 year (or AutoMax)
   • Destination lock is auto-selected (click the destination dropdown to change it)
   • Locks with less than 7 days remaining are greyed out in the destination dropdown
   • You can route into an eligible existing lock or create a new lock when allowed
5. Confirm in wallet

Success

• Accrued ETH decreases
• Lock principal increases
• ve increases → larger future royalty share
