# Token Claiming

The Token Claiming Dashboard allows vesting beneficiaries to view their token allocations, track vesting progress, and claim available tokens. This guide explains how to access and use the claiming interface effectively.

## Overview

The claiming dashboard provides a comprehensive view of your vested tokens, including:

* **Current Status**: Available tokens ready to claim
* **Vesting Progress**: Timeline and remaining tokens
* **Claim History**: Record of all previous claims
