# Bonus Vault Claims (Cycle 1 Only)

### Bonus Vault Distribution (Cycle 1 Only)

**Snapshot + Airdrop – No Claim Needed**

The Bonus Vault is a **Cycle 1-only** reward pool for grinders who completed the **Keys to the Vault** challenge.

Originally this was going to be a manual “connect, verify, click claim” flow in the dApp – but to keep things simpler and reduce technical risk, we’re handling it via **snapshot + direct airdrop** instead.

That means:

> If you have a complete set of all 12 Keys in your wallet at the Cycle 1 snapshot,\
> you’ll automatically receive your share of the C1 Bonus Vault via airdrop.\
> No claiming, no extra transactions, no dApp interaction required.

{% hint style="warning" %}
It's important to have your keys in the appropriate wallets as only full sets in a single wallet will be included. If you have some keys in one wallet and some in another wallet– You'll miss out!

### How Cycle 1 Bonus Vault Distribution Works

1. **Cycle 1 Snapshot (Tokens + Keys) 🔍**\
   At the same time we take the Cycle 1 snapshot for $MONSTA balances, we also snapshot **Key holdings** for each wallet.
   * If your wallet holds **at least one complete set** of Vault Keys #1–#12 at that moment, you qualify for a share of the C1 Bonus Vault.
   * If you hold multiple complete sets (for example, 2 of every Key), you’ll be credited with multiple equal “shares” of the Bonus Vault.
2. **Allocation Calculation 📊**\
   After snapshot, we calculate:

   * Total number of **complete Key sets** across all wallets
   * Each complete set is assigned **one equal share** of the C1 Bonus Vault

   So if there are 100 complete sets at snapshot, the Bonus Vault is split into 100 equal parts.\
   If your wallet held 2 full sets, you get 2/100 of the Bonus Vault.
3. **Airdrop to Snapshot Wallets 💸**\
   Once the math is done and funds are ready, the Bonus Vault is distributed directly to the snapshot wallets:
   * Rewards are airdropped to the **same wallet address** that held the complete set(s) at snapshot time
   * You don’t need to connect to the dApp or press any claim button
   * Gas for the distribution is handled on our side

{% hint style="success" %}
You **do not** have to burn your Keys to claim. You keep the art and the collection in your wallet as a memory of Cycle 1.
{% endhint %}

### What You Need To Do (Before Snapshot)

To qualify for the C1 Bonus Vault:

* **Hold all 12 Keys in the same wallet** at the time of the Cycle 1 snapshot
* Optional but smart:
  * Keep that wallet safe and accessible until after the airdrop is completed

{% hint style="success" %}
If you move or sell your Keys *after* the snapshot, it doesn’t affect your Bonus Vault eligibility.\
The airdrop is based entirely on what you held at the snapshot. Rewards are only distributed to the snapshotted wallet address. For security reasons, we cannot change or redirect rewards to any address other than the one in the snapshot!
{% endhint %}

If you **do not** hold a complete set in a single wallet at snapshot time:

* You will **not** receive any C1 Bonus Vault airdrop
* Your only path to rewards for that cycle is via the **Primary Vault** (burn-to-claim)

### **Stay Ready, Stay Based**

Receiving the Bonus Vault is your final step to reap the rewards of a full year’s grind. Whether you hustled each month or made strategic plays on the secondary market, this is where it all pays off. Keep your collection tight, your wallet connected, and your eyes on the prize.
