Claiming rewards

How to claim or compound earned $SQK from Staking.

TL;DR

  • One claim pays all whole rewards you've earned, from deposited Squeeks and staked $SQK together.
  • A claim pays you, or the one claim recipient you've set. Once set, only that recipient can claim.
  • Claims keep working while issuance or Staking intake is paused.

What does a claim do?

A claim pays out everything you've earned. Your Squeeks and $SQK stay staked and keep earning.

Rewards belong to you, not to a Squeek: what you earned before withdrawing a Squeek or unstaking $SQK stays in Staking until you claim it.

Before you claim

By default, a claim sends $SQK to you. It needs no approval, only the network fee.

You can instead set one claim recipient. While it's set, only the claim recipient can claim your rewards, and it receives the $SQK. You can change it at any time by setting a new address, or clear it by setting your own address or zero; Staking's own address is rejected.

Can you compound instead?

Yes. Claim and stake turns all your whole earned rewards into staked $SQK in one step, with no transfer out. The new principal earns immediately, but you can unstake it only from the next ten-minute round. It's unavailable while you have a claim recipient set or Staking intake is paused. Staking explains how staked $SQK earns and what unstaking costs.

Is the displayed amount guaranteed?

A displayed amount is a quote. While funding streams, your rewards grow every second, so a claim also pays whole rewards earned between the quote and the transaction. The rate depends on your share of total power, which changes as stakers adjust their deposits and stakes.

Claims keep working during Mining and Staking intake pauses. If a transfer fails, your rewards stay claimable. Supply limits and rounding explains how fractions are kept.

How do you know it was paid?

Wait for the transaction to succeed and be confirmed, then check the $SQK you or your claim recipient received. The Build owner actions guide gives developers the exact receipt, event and balance checks, and the SqueekStaking reference documents the call.
