# Claim ZERO

{% hint style="info" %}
$ZERO allocation for users who redeem their Zero Gravity points or $earlyZERO tokens for $ZERO follows the same vesting schedule: 

* 40% of the airdrop allocation will be distributed upfront to users. 
* The remaining 60% will have a 6-month cliff and 3-month linear vesting schedule
  {% endhint %}

ZeroLend users and investors can claim the upfront $ZERO tokens and stake the remaining tokens. 

Let's dive into the 2 categories of users and the step-by-step guide for both: 

* Airdrop users
* Investors 

***

### Airdrop Users 

All eligible airdrop users can claim $ZERO against their $earlyZERO tokens and Zero Gravity points. 

Your $ZERO allocation will depend on the $earlyZERO tokens and Zero Gravity points you have accumulated. It will be automatically converted to ZERO on launch, and users will only be able to see their final ZERO airdrop.

Please note that we have allocated a major portion of the $ZERO airdrop to the liquidity providers on our lending markets.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Tokens earned are vested with 40% unlock, 6 months cliff, followed by 3 months linear vesting.
{% endhint %}

Users can claim upfront tokens and stake vested tokens without waiting for the vesting period to end, and they will receive staking benefits.

#### Here's a simple guide that users can refer to for claiming:&#x20;

Step 1: Go to the rewards tab on app.zerolend.xyz and connect your wallet.

Step 2: Your accumulated ZERO will show under the airdrop section.

Step 3: Click on the **Claim** button. This will open up a claim modal.&#x20;

Step 6: Confirm the transactions on your wallet. &#x20;

After claiming, you will receive the claimed ZERO tokens in your wallet, and the rest of the vested tokens will be converted into a vest and be visible on the same rewards tab.&#x20;
