How to claim TLD royalties
Withdrawing your Freename royalties is a simple process you can complete anytime directly from your account. This guide shows you where to find your royalties, how to request a payout, and how to receive the funds in your wallet.
How to Claim Freename Royalties
Before you start
To complete a payout request, you need:
- Access to your Freename account
- Royalties available in your Income section
- A wallet that supports USDC (USD Coin) on the Polygon network (for example, MetaMask or another compatible wallet)
Step by step: Claim your royalties
1) Log in to your Freename account
Sign in to your Freename account, then open the Freename Account area where your account details are listed.
2) Open the Income section
In your account dashboard, find Income. This section shows the royalties you have earned from your Freename domains and lets you check how much you have accumulated.
3) Start a payout request
Inside Income, click Request Payout. This begins the withdrawal flow and prompts you to choose your withdrawal options.
4) Select the payout method (USDC on Polygon)
Currently, Freename payouts are processed in USDC (USD Coin) on the Polygon network.
Before continuing, make sure your wallet supports USDC on Polygon.
5) Connect your wallet
Connect a wallet compatible with USDC on Polygon (for example, MetaMask or another wallet that supports USDC on Polygon).
This connected wallet is where your royalties will be sent.
6) Review and submit
Confirm the details shown in the payout request, then submit it. Once your request is successfully submitted, Freename initiates the payout process.
7) Receive your royalties
Freename processes the transaction and sends your royalties directly to your connected wallet. You can expect to receive the funds within 72 hours of submitting your request.
