DAO Claim Tutorial

This tutorial helps anyone release tokens to the Blockswap DAO that are the vesting contracts. There are 5 years of vesting contracts. The remaining contracts that are active are as follows:

Anyone can call the claim function on the vesting contracts which will release more tokens into the DAO treasury as they are unlocking linearly on a block by block basis

You can call the claim function on the vesting contracts as follows:

Using Etherscan

Clicking on the the above vesting contract addresses will take you to the contracts on etherscan. Click on the Contract tab. Then click on the Write as Proxy tab. You should now be able to see the claim function as the very first method in the list. Click on that, then click on the Write button to initiate the transaction. Claim

NOTE: Calling the claim function from Etherscan can be a bit unreliable sometimes, so using the script is recommended.

Using a script

Install required dependencies

Please install the required dependencies by running the following in your termninal

npm i ethers

Importing the libraries

const {ethers} = require("ethers");

Creating a signer instance

It is recommended to use ethers library to create a provider and a signer instance, required for signing the transaction. You can use any provider API that you want from this list. For this tutorial, Infura is used.

const provider = new ethers.InfuraProvider(
    "mainnet",
    YOUR_INFURA_PROJECT_ID,
    YOUR_INFURA_PROJECT_SECRET
);

const signer = new ethers.Wallet(YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY, provider);

Creating a contract instance

Using ethers, we can create an instance of the active vesting contract as follows

const abi = [{"inputs":[],"name":"claim","outputs":[],"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"}];

const contract = new ethers.Contract(
    VESTING_CONTRACT_ADDRESS,
    abi,
    signer
);

Calling the claim function

Using the contract instance we can simply call the claim function.

const tx = await contract.claim();

console.log(tx)

Script

const {ethers} = require("ethers");

const provider = new ethers.InfuraProvider(
    "mainnet",
    YOUR_INFURA_PROJECT_ID,
    YOUR_INFURA_PROJECT_SECRET
);

const signer = new ethers.Wallet(YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY, provider);

const abi = [{"inputs":[],"name":"claim","outputs":[],"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"}];

const contract = new ethers.Contract(
    VESTING_CONTRACT_ADDRESS,
    abi,
    signer
);

const tx = await contract.claim();

console.log(tx)
