# Claiming

## Overview

The Bitfoot presale officially ended on January 23, 2026, following a community and token holder vote. The <mark style="color:$warning;">**$FOOT Token Generation Event (TGE) is scheduled and currently in preparation**</mark><mark style="color:$danger;">.</mark> The exact date will be announced soon via our official channels.

Once the TGE goes live, **$FOOT token claiming will be enabled immediately** for all eligible presale participants. Users will be able to claim their tokens according to the vesting rules outlined in the official [$FOOT tokenomics.](/foot-token/tokenomics.md)

The claiming process described below **will apply once the TGE is live**.

Claiming is accessible through the official Bitfoot website: [**https://bitfoot.com/claim**](https://bitfoot.com/claim)

{% hint style="info" %}
*This process applies to all users who purchased $FOOT during the presale.*
{% endhint %}

### <mark style="color:$warning;">Important Notes Before Claiming</mark>

* $FOOT was **originally sold via Ethereum wallets** during the presale.
* The $FOOT token was **launched on Solana**.
* Because of this, the claiming process requires:
  * **Ethereum wallet** for ownership verification
  * **Solana wallet** as the receiving wallet

This is expected behavior and part of the official migration to Solana.

Make sure you control this wallet. Once claimed, tokens are sent directly to it.

* Only the available amount can be claimed at any given time
* Vesting rules are defined in the [$FOOT tokenomics](/foot-token/tokenomics.md)

Once you confirm the claim:

* You can hold, transfer, or trade them immediately

## Vesting & Tokenomics

$FOOT claiming is governed by predefined vesting rules.

These rules determine:

* When tokens become available
* How much can be claimed at each stage

Full vesting details are documented separately in the [**$FOOT Tokenomics**](/foot-token/tokenomics.md) section.

***

## Referral Rewards & Allocations

All referral-related rewards are **already included** in your wallet allocation.

If you:

* Used a referral
* Earned referral bonuses
* Participated in referral programs

Your displayed balance already reflects the **final and correct amount**.

No additional action is required.
