# Staked Cake Redemption

## How does veCAKE claiming work?

#### 1. Connect Your Wallet

Before you do anything, connect your wallet to the claiming page.

> ⚠️ Note: Rewards and balances will only display after your wallet is connected. If the displayed balance is "-", there are no CAKE / CAKE rewards available to claim.

#### 2. View Your Balances & Rewards

Once connected, you’ll see the following information:

1. **veCAKE Balance**: Your current amount of veCAKE.
2. **Locked CAKE**: The amount of CAKE you originally staked in the veCAKE Pool.
3. **Original Unlock Date**: Original Date veCAKE will unlock

\*\* With the passing of the [Tokenomics 3.0 Proposal](https://blog.pancakeswap.finance/articles/implementation-of-cake-tokenomics-3-0-what-you-need-to-know), **all locked CAKE is now scheduled to unlock on April 23, 2025, at 9:00 UTC**.

4. **My Total Rewards**: The total CAKE you’re eligible to redeem and claim, made up of:

* **Cake Pool Rewards**: Legacy CAKE Pool rewards
* **Revenue Sharing Rewards**: Earned from staking CAKE ([More info](https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/earn/cake-staking/revenue-sharing/earn-cake-weekly))

#### 3. Redeem & Claim

Click **‘Redeem & Claim**’ to start. Once the transaction is successful, your CAKE will appear in your wallet.

> 📝 You’ll need to sign and approve the transaction(s) in your wallet to complete the claim.

#### 4. Double-Check for Multiple Claims

In some cases, your rewards may be split across multiple claim sessions if the reward is large.

> ✅ To ensure you've claimed everything, check that the "My Total Rewards" balance is "-" or 0 after completing the process.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/welcome-to-pancakeswap/vecake-sunset/staked-cake-redemption.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
