How-To: Claim neurons for seed participants

If you donated to the DFINITY foundation in February of 2017 then you are a seed participant. At the time, 30 tokens per Swiss Franc of value donated were allotted to your key. These tokens are now called "ICP tokens" or, shortly, "ICP".

At Genesis Unlock your ICP were disbursed in the form of a basket of 49 voting neurons (insert link here). These neurons already exist inside the Network Nervous System (insert link here). Your neurons contain the ICP you have been awarded, staked inside.

Your neurons have been configured to vote automatically and are already earning voting rewards for you. You do not need to do anything to initialize your neurons in order to continue earning voting rewards.

The 49 neurons created for you have dissolve delays (insert link here) of 0 days, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days and so on. Apart from the first neuron which has a dissolve delay of 0 days (which can be dissolved immediately), the other dissolve delays may have a small random number of days either added or removed.

We are pleased to inform you that your neurons have been pre-aged! At the moment of Genesis Unlock, their age was already set to 18 months old. This is important, because neuron age significantly increases your voting power and the voting rewards you receive.
