Lifinity holders can prepare, submit, and verify a wind-down token claim
Lifinity holders should treat each required wind-down transaction as a bounded Solana action: identify the correct wallet and token form, record the starting state, determine whether a conversion is required before the USDC claim, review the request, and verify its result. Stop if the live state differs from your record.
Bottom line: Record the starting wallet state, follow the required token path, sign only the reviewed transaction, and stop after its record and the expected balance change agree.
Set the stop boundary before opening the claim
Record three inputs before continuing: the public wallet address that controls the position, the Lifinity token form associated with that address, and the next action shown for that token form. The eventual claim output is USDC. Stop if the connected address differs from your record or the interface finds no expected position.
A useful starting record contains the public address, visible LFNTY and xLFNTY balances, the starting USDC balance, any veLFNTY balance reported by the application, and the displayed claim amount. A screenshot can preserve the interface state, but it does not replace the transaction record. Never enter a recovery phrase, private key, or exported signing key into a claim page.
Separate durable rules from live parameters. The eligible token forms, Solana transaction model, USDC output, and published deadline define the task. The wallet balance, displayed entitlement, network fee, recent block data, and transaction instructions belong to the live session. An older screenshot cannot establish those changing values for a later transaction.
The reversible part ends when the wallet signs and submits the transaction. Before that point, you can disconnect, close the page, change the selected account, or investigate an unexplained difference without altering the on-chain position. An unfamiliar request, missing balance, or unexpected destination is a reason to stop at that boundary.
Token form determines what the first record should contain
LFNTY, veLFNTY, and xLFNTY should remain separate entries in the starting record. They represent different account states, so a wallet token list alone may not reveal every eligible position. Compare the connected address with both the wallet display and the claim interface before accepting the amount offered for conversion.
LFNTY in the wallet
LFNTY is the governance token and appears as a transferable Solana token when the connected wallet holds it. Record its balance without assuming that the full visible amount automatically equals the claim entitlement. Use the live interface to identify any required conversion and the amount attached to the next transaction before signing.
veLFNTY in the application
veLFNTY is not a standard SPL token, so ordinary wallet token lists do not display it. Its state belongs to the Lifinity account linked to the wallet. A zero wallet display therefore does not settle whether the address has a veLFNTY position; the account view and claim interface must supply that part of the inventory.
xLFNTY as a transferable token
xLFNTY is a standard SPL token that represents four-year locked veLFNTY. It can appear in the wallet independently of the application-only veLFNTY state. Keep its balance on a separate line, then compare that record with the claim interface rather than merging the two forms into a single estimated total.
What counts as a ready wallet?
A ready wallet controls the address with the eligible position, can review and sign a Solana transaction, and can cover any network fee shown for that transaction. Readiness is an observable account state, not a wallet brand or a promise that the claim will succeed.
- The connected public address matches the address in the starting record.
- The expected token form appears in the wallet or the application account view.
- The claim interface displays an eligible USDC output for that address.
- The transaction preview corresponds to the selected claim rather than an unrelated transfer.
- The wallet can cover any SOL network fee that its preview shows.
Lifinity directs holders of LFNTY, xLFNTY, and veLFNTY to convert eligible positions to USDC before the deadline. The displayed entitlement remains a live input even though the output asset is established. If the interface cannot connect that entitlement to the recorded wallet and token form, do not infer an amount from an old token price or treasury estimate.
Six stages from a claim-ready record to a confirmed transaction
Use this ordered pass after the interface presents a USDC claim for the connected address. Each stage produces evidence needed by the next one, while the wallet owner retains the signing decision until reviewing the transaction. Treat any prerequisite conversion request as its own bounded transaction and verify it before loading the claim.
| Stage | Observable check | Control at this point |
|---|---|---|
| Select the wallet | The connected public address matches the recorded holder address. | The user chooses the account, and the wallet retains its keys. |
| Record the start | Wallet balances and the application-reported veLFNTY state are copied separately. | This is a read-only check with no claim authorization. |
| Load the claim | The interface reports eligibility and a USDC output for the connected address. | The user can leave without submitting a transaction. |
| Review the request | The network, relevant asset movement, output, and displayed fee fit the intended claim. | The wallet withholds authorization until the preview is acceptable. |
| Submit once | One transaction is signed, submitted, and recorded by its signature. | The signature authorizes only the reviewed transaction request. |
| Reconcile and stop | The transaction confirms, and the USDC balance change agrees with the displayed result. | The user stops rather than issuing another claim without a new eligible position. |
The starting assumption is that the selected wallet controls the recorded position. The claim operation tests that assumption against the live eligibility and output. A confirmed transaction and matching USDC balance support completion; a mismatch invalidates the assumption and returns the task to investigation, not automatic resubmission.
Inspect the transaction before signing
The wallet preview is the last practical checkpoint before the claim changes on-chain state. Compare it with the public address, token form, and USDC output already recorded. Do not rely on the button label alone, because the signature applies to the transaction instructions that the wallet receives.
Asset movement and destination
The requested action should correspond to the eligible Lifinity position and the expected USDC result. Stop if the preview introduces unrelated assets, an unexplained transfer, or a different connected account. If the wallet cannot present enough detail to relate the request to the claim, preserve the current state and investigate before signing.
Authority and network fee
A normal wallet interaction asks for transaction approval through the wallet; it does not require a recovery phrase or private key. Treat the fee as a live Solana parameter shown for that submission. Record it if needed for reconciliation, but do not turn one observed fee into a fixed Lifinity charge or a permanent network value.
Approve one request at a time. Multiple open prompts make it harder to match a signature with the reviewed transaction, especially after an account switch or page refresh. Close stale prompts, confirm the selected public address again, and proceed only when one preview represents the intended claim.
Did the claim actually complete?
A confirmed Solana transaction and the expected USDC balance change provide the completion evidence. A success message on the page is helpful, but it should agree with the transaction record and wallet state before the task reaches its stop point.
The transaction signature
Save the signature immediately after submission and check its status through a Solana transaction viewer that you already trust. A signature identifies the submitted request, while its status distinguishes confirmation from failure or continued processing. Without that identifier, a delayed interface message is difficult to separate from a transaction that never left the wallet.
The balance reconciliation
Compare the post-claim USDC balance with the recorded starting balance and the output shown before signing. Wallet interfaces can refresh slowly, so a temporary display delay does not justify an immediate second submission. Refresh the account state and reconcile the same transaction signature before deciding that the first attempt failed.
Completion does not depend on a promised market outcome. It depends on agreement among the reviewed claim, the confirmed transaction, and the observable USDC balance change. If those records disagree, keep the signature and both balance snapshots while resolving the discrepancy.
Treat a failure as a state to diagnose
A closed or rejected wallet prompt means no claim was authorized, while a submitted transaction may remain pending, fail on-chain, or confirm before the page refreshes. Check whether a signature exists and inspect that exact transaction before trying again. Repeating a pending request can create overlapping records without making Solana process the original transaction faster.
Finish before support closes
Lifinity set December 31, 2026 as the deadline to claim remaining assets. The published date is an outer boundary, not a reason to wait until the final session. Wallet access, interface availability, transaction troubleshooting, and account reconciliation all take time if an unexpected state appears.
The published deadline does not supply a local-time assumption in the date itself. Do not build a last-minute plan around an unverified end-of-day interpretation. Completing the first bounded claim earlier leaves time to investigate a missing position without treating the support cutoff as flexible.
A completed token claim does not prove that every Lifinity-related asset has been handled. Flares use a separate claim path, so holders of both token positions and Flares should inventory them separately. Keep each transaction, balance change, and completion record attached to the wallet and asset class that produced it.
Preserve the public address, before-and-after balances, displayed entitlement, transaction signature, and confirmation state. Keep secret credentials out of that record. Once those items agree for the selected position, stop; the answer changes only if another eligible wallet, token form, or separate Flare position remains.
Lifinity: the short answers
Can Lifinity’s application show veLFNTY that my wallet token list omits?
Yes. veLFNTY is not an SPL token and does not appear in a standard wallet token list. Its account state is associated with the connected wallet and appears through the application. Compare that application-reported balance with the public address before concluding that the wallet has no eligible veLFNTY position.
Does connecting a wallet authorize the USDC conversion?
No. Connecting exposes the selected public address so the application can read its relevant state. The conversion requires a separate transaction approval through the wallet. Keep that distinction clear: viewing eligibility is reversible, while signing and submitting the transaction authorizes the reviewed on-chain action.
May several Lifinity token forms appear under the same wallet?
Yes. A wallet can hold visible LFNTY or xLFNTY while the associated application account also reports veLFNTY. Record each form separately because they do not share the same display model. Complete any conversion that the live interface requires before the USDC claim, then use the claim output rather than a manually combined balance.
What happens if the displayed USDC entitlement changes before I sign?
Stop and review the session again. The displayed entitlement is a live parameter, so it must agree with the connected address, recorded token form, and transaction preview at the signing boundary. Do not use an older screenshot or an estimated token value to override the amount that the current claim transaction presents.
Why save the transaction signature after USDC appears?
The signature preserves a durable identifier for the submitted Solana transaction. A wallet balance can refresh, reorder activity, or hide details later, while the signature lets you inspect the exact status and instructions. Save it with the starting balance, displayed claim output, and resulting USDC balance change.
Is a rejected wallet prompt the same as a failed on-chain claim?
No. Rejecting or closing a prompt normally prevents authorization, so the wallet may never submit a transaction. An on-chain failure occurs after submission and has a signature with a failed status. Check whether a signature exists before choosing the next step, because the two states require different responses.
Should I restart if the wallet changes accounts during the claim session?
Yes. Close the pending request and rebuild the starting record for the newly selected public address. Eligibility, token balances, and application state are wallet-specific. A preview prepared for one account should not serve as evidence for another account, even when both addresses belong to the same person.
Does the token claim also redeem a Lifinity Flare?
No. The token conversion and the Flare claim are separate paths, even though both belong to the wind-down. Completing an LFNTY, xLFNTY, or veLFNTY conversion therefore does not establish that a Flare was claimed. Inventory and verify each asset class through its own transaction record.
