Claim Yield
How to collect your earned swap fees as a YT holder.
If you hold YT, you're earning swap fees from the underlying pool. But those fees don't show up in your wallet automatically — you need to harvest and claim them.
How to Claim
1. Go to Your Pool
Navigate to the Pool page where you hold YT. Find the Your Positions section — it shows your YT balance and any pending yield.
2. Harvest
Click Harvest to pull pending fees from the underlying protocol (Uniswap, Curve, etc.) into the Yield Forge accumulator. This makes the fees available for claiming.
3. Claim
Click Claim to withdraw your accumulated yield to your wallet. You'll receive the underlying tokens (e.g., WBTC + USDT).
4. Confirm
Approve the transaction(s) in your wallet. Once confirmed, the tokens are in your wallet.
How Often Should I Claim?
As often as you want — there's no lockup or minimum. But keep in mind:
- Each claim costs gas
- It usually makes sense to wait until your accumulated yield is significantly larger than the gas fee
- On L2s like Arbitrum, gas is cheap enough to claim more frequently
After Maturity
Your right to past yield never expires. Even after the cycle ends, you can still claim any uncollected yield. You just won't earn any new yield after maturity.
!TIP The protocol takes a 5% fee on harvested yield. This is deducted automatically — the amount you see as "claimable" is already net of the protocol fee.
