Fund a Saleium vesting pool and set linear and cliff schedules

Updated Jun 21, 2026, 09:47 AM

Saleium vesting pools deploy empty, so after you create one you fund it with the vested token and add each beneficiary's address, amount, and schedule, then beneficiaries claim their unlocked tokens over time on your branded claim page.

Who this is for: Operators who are creating and running a vesting pool, with a short section for participants who need to claim.

How does Saleium vesting work?

Saleium vesting uses a linear unlock model with an optional cliff, paired with a branded claim portal. In plain terms:

  • Linear vesting means tokens unlock gradually and continuously across the vesting period, rather than all at once.
  • A cliff is an optional delay at the start. During the cliff no tokens unlock. Once the cliff date passes, the portion that built up becomes claimable and linear unlocking continues from there.

The live model is linear plus cliff. You set the schedule per beneficiary when you add their allocation.

How do I create the vesting pool?

In the create wizard, fill these live fields:

  1. Chain - the network the pool will live on.
  2. Pool name - a label for your pool.
  3. Project owner - the owner address.
  4. Vested token - the address of the token that will be distributed.

Then click Create vesting pool and approve the deploy from your wallet.

Important: the pool deploys empty. Creating it does not move any tokens or set up any recipients. You handle funding and allocations as the next steps.

How do I fund the pool and add beneficiaries?

After the pool is deployed:

  1. Fund the pool with the vested token you specified at create time. The platform fee on vesting is 1% of the tokens, taken from the amount you fund. It is charged on each funding, so if you top the pool up later the 1% applies again to that top-up. Your plan's fee discount lowers this rate, and the rate you get is stamped immutably at deploy and shown on your Plans & Billing page.
  2. Add your beneficiaries and their allocations. Each allocation includes the beneficiary's address, the amount, and the schedule (the linear period plus the optional cliff).

Add your beneficiaries and their allocations after the pool is deployed. This is the step that turns an empty pool into a working vesting plan.

How many recipients can I add?

Recipients-per-pool limits depend on your Saleium plan. Plan limits are plan limits, set by your plan tier. Check your current allowance on Plans & Billing before you load a large beneficiary list. If you need more recipients than your plan allows, review the plan options on Plans & Billing.

Is there a fee to claim?

Yes. When a beneficiary claims, they pay a small per-claim fee in the network's gas token, about $1 worth or the claim's gas cost, whichever is higher. The beneficiary pays this, and it is in addition to the normal network gas for the transaction. This claim fee is stamped immutably when the pool is deployed: the platform can never raise it later, and your plan can only lower it. Your exact rate is on your Plans & Billing page.

This is separate from the 1% funding fee the project pays when it funds the pool. Beneficiaries are not charged that 1%.

Where do beneficiaries claim, and how do I share it?

Beneficiaries claim their unlocked tokens over time on the claim page at:

https://saleium.io/vest/{chainId}/{poolAddress}

Replace {chainId} with your pool's chain id and {poolAddress} with your deployed pool address. You can also embed the claim widget on your own site using Embed Studio.

For participants

If you are a recipient of a vesting allocation:

  1. Open the claim page your project shared, in the form https://saleium.io/vest/{chainId}/{poolAddress}, or use the embedded widget on the project's site.
  2. Connect the wallet that holds your beneficiary address.
  3. Claim the amount currently unlocked. If a cliff has not passed yet, nothing is claimable until the cliff date.
  4. Come back over time to claim more as additional tokens unlock linearly. On each claim you pay a small per-claim fee in the network's gas token, about $1 worth or the claim's gas cost, whichever is higher, plus the normal network gas for the transaction.

Common issues

  • Nothing is claimable yet. If your schedule includes a cliff, no tokens unlock until the cliff date. Check the schedule set on your allocation.
  • The pool looks empty. Pools deploy empty by design. Fund the pool and add allocations after deploy before beneficiaries can claim.
  • The claim link does not load. Confirm the {chainId} and {poolAddress} in the URL match your deployed pool, and that the claimer is connected with the correct wallet.
  • You hit a recipient limit. Recipient counts are governed by your plan. Review Plans & Billing.
