Claiming DAO Rewards
After each epoch, eligible veALVA holders can claim ALVA rewards based on their voting participation. Claims are processed on Ethereum mainnet.
How Claims Work
DAO rewards use a merkle proof system:
At the end of each epoch, the protocol computes reward amounts for each eligible address
A merkle tree is generated and its root is published on-chain
Each eligible address receives a merkle proof that can be used to claim their ALVA
This system is gas-efficient. It allows batch reward distribution without requiring individual on-chain transactions for each recipient.
How to Claim
Navigate to the DAO page in the app
Select the Claim Rewards tab
Ensure your wallet is connected and on Ethereum mainnet
You'll see a list of epochs with pending rewards and the ALVA amount for each
Click Claim on any individual epoch, or use Claim All to batch-claim all pending rewards
Confirm the transaction in your wallet
Batch Claiming
If you have rewards from multiple epochs, you can claim them all in a single transaction using the Claim All Rewards button. This saves gas compared to claiming each epoch individually.
Network Requirement
DAO reward claims happen on Ethereum mainnet. If your wallet is connected to a different network, the app will prompt you to switch before you can claim.
Checking Your Rewards
The Claim Rewards tab shows:
Per-epoch breakdown: Reward amount for each epoch
Total pending: Sum of all unclaimed rewards
Claim status: Whether each epoch's rewards have been claimed
The My DAO Profile tab (available when your wallet is connected) provides a summary of your total unclaimed DAO rewards alongside your veALVA balance and voting power.
Important Notes
You must have participated in gauge weight voting during an epoch to be eligible for that epoch's rewards
Claims do not expire. You can claim rewards from past epochs at any time
Claimed ALVA is sent directly to your wallet on Ethereum mainnet
