# Claiming & Fees

## How claiming works

Fees and vested supply are attached to an **on-chain address** that is **fixed when the coin is deployed**. The smart contract — not the dashboard — decides where funds go, so they can only ever reach the correct address.

## Safe by design

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th data-hidden></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Permissionless</strong></td><td>Anyone can trigger claim, but funds <strong>always</strong> go to the address stored in the contract.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Gasless for you</strong></td><td>The platform pays the gas for claims and fee collection — you don't need to hold gas to claim.</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

***

## Two claim paths

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Launched from your own wallet" %}
**How to claim:** Connect the **same wallet** you used to launch.

Fees arrive **directly in your wallet**.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Launched by tweet / X handle" %}
**How to claim:** Log in with **X**.

Fees accrue in a wallet **provisioned for your account**. You can **withdraw** to any address you choose.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**The address used at deploy time and the address used to claim must match.** Connecting a different wallet won't show or unlock a coin whose creator is a different address.
{% endhint %}

***

## Claim vs. Withdraw

A subtle but important distinction:

<table><thead><tr><th width="140">Action</th><th>What it does</th><th>When you use it</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Claim</strong></td><td>Moves fees/vested tokens from the contract to your creator address.</td><td>Always — this is how rewards leave the contract.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Withdraw</strong></td><td>Moves funds out of a provisioned (X/Telegram) wallet to any address you choose.</td><td>When you're using an X or Telegram-provisioned wallet and want to move funds elsewhere.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Self-custody connected wallets simply **hold their funds directly** — no withdraw step needed.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.runnersrh.app/for-creators/claiming-and-fees.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
