### Step 4: Claim Tokens

* After the sale, a snapshot determines the eligible investors.
* **Note:** Wait for the Token Generation Event (TGE), after which tokens are distributed based on the vesting conditions outlined on each project page.
* **There are two methods of token distribution:**
  * **Airdrop:** Tokens are automatically sent to the user’s wallet by either Magic Square or the project conducting the sale.
  * **Manual Claim:** Users can claim their tokens directly through the [Magic Launchpad Dashboard](https://magicsquare.io/launchpad/portfolio) under "Claimable Participations."
* **Note:** For those who participated in EATS on the Magic Launchpad, the allocation can be traded on the [Magic Square OTC Marketplace](https://spring.net/discover/magic-square).
