# Common Claims The Common Foundation is pleased to announce that claim registration for the initial $COMMON retrodrop is now open. Eligible users can now register their claim wallet ahead of Monday’s retrodrop. Claims are powered by **Magna** and hosted on [**common.xyz**](https://common.xyz). *** ### How to Claim #### **Step 1: Register Your Claim Wallet** Register your claim wallet at common.xyz/wallet * As the $COMMON token goes live on Base, you must connect and choose an EVM-compatible wallet. * If you hold a Genesis NFT and haven’t yet joined Common, you will still be able to claim by signing in with the address that holds the NFT. *** #### **Step 2: Claim Once TGE Completes** Claim directly at common.xyz/wallet once TGE is live. * Onchain and under the hood, distribution is executed securely and gas-efficiently through our partner Magna. * Initial registration and claims will be live for 30 days post-TGE. * As you register your address, the system syncs every 6 hours with Magna. *** #### **Step 3: Unlock and Build Common** Claims will occur in two phases: * The first portion unlocks at TGE, and the second portion unlocks after 6 months. * This schedule is significantly shorter than contributor and investor lockups (which follow a 4-year vest with a 1-year cliff). * Common will continue to reward contributors and participants who remain active post-TGE. #### **Please note** * Expect further announcements regarding both **claim registration** and **TGE**. * Claims require periodic syncing between Common and Magna. Please ensure your connected wallet remains active and accessible. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
