Collect & Lock (royalties, optional)

Where this fits: Compounding in the CLAIM stream · Full guide: The Furnace

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 (or Locks — both pages offer their own Collect & Lock flow).
2. Find Accrued ETH near the top of the Overview
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
