Pending Earnings and Claims

Pending is your share of charges on your nodes that has not been paid out. When at least 0.02 TON of it is claimable, Claim earnings turns it into one signed on-chain claim.

example
Pending: 0.1686 TON
  → Claim earnings
  → approve in your wallet (0.06 TON attached for gas)
  → 0.1686 TON arrives in your wallet

Every traffic report from your nodes adds your share of the charge to pending. A claim moves it on-chain.

Why pending can be more than claimable

  • A user's charges can go into a claim only once that user has deposited from a TON wallet, because the contract pays you out of that deposit.
  • Amounts under 0.001 TON per user wait until they grow.
  • A claim needs at least 0.02 TON in total.

What a claim is

One batch covering up to 50 of the users you are owed by, largest amounts first, signed by ProofKit's coordinator with a nonce from a sequence so it can be used only once, and valid for 5 minutes. A user whose escrow deposit can't cover what they owe is left out and stays pending; see Getting paid. Your wallet sends it to the escrow contract, which pays you and books the platform fee. If it expires unsent, the next click makes a new one from the same earnings.

The amount column

The settlements table shows your 80% of each claim. The users' deposits are debited the full amount, of which the contract keeps 20% as the platform fee.

Deleting a node needs its unpaid earnings of 0.02 TON or more claimed first; less than that stays on your account and is paid out with your other earnings. See Getting paid for the whole flow and its gas cost.
