Redeeming a Cove claim link takes less than a minute. You open the link, connect your wallet, review the amount, and click one button. The Cloak relay submits the transaction to Solana and pays the fee — nothing is deducted from your wallet.Documentation Index

Steps
Open the link in your browser
Click or paste the claim link you received. It will open a page at
cove-cash.vercel.app/claim/…. Make sure your wallet extension (Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack) is installed in this browser before continuing.Connect your wallet
Click Connect Wallet in the top navigation. A modal lists the wallets detected in your browser. Select your wallet and approve the connection in the extension. The page updates to show your wallet address in the redemption card.
Review the amount
The redemption card displays the token amount encoded in the link — for example,
1.5 SOL or 10 USDC. Confirm this matches what you expect before proceeding.Click Claim to my wallet
Click the Claim to my wallet button. The page begins preparing the claim while it reconstructs the proof and builds the withdrawal transaction.
Sign if prompted
In most cases the Cloak relay submits the transaction on your behalf and no wallet signature is required. If the relay is unavailable, your wallet will prompt you to sign the transaction directly — approve it in the extension.
Wait for confirmation
The status panel shows that the transaction is being submitted, then moves to confirming. This typically takes a few seconds while Solana confirms the transaction. Do not close the tab during this step.
Troubleshooting
Link says No claim payload in URL
Link says No claim payload in URL
The URL is missing the blob segment after
/claim/. This happens if the link was truncated when it was shared — for example, a chat app wrapped a long URL and cut off the end. Ask the sender to reshare the full, unmodified link.Missing blinding factor error
Missing blinding factor error
The page shows: “This claim link is missing the blinding factor (r) and cannot be redeemed. It was likely generated by an older version of Cove.”This means the
r field is absent from the link payload. The link was generated by an older version of Cove that did not include the blinding factor. The UTXO cannot be recovered from this link. Contact the sender and ask them to generate a new payment using the current version of Cove.Claim already used
Claim already used
If the transaction fails with a nullifier error, the link has already been spent on-chain. Each claim link is single-use — once the nullifier is recorded on-chain, no further claims are possible from that link. If you did not claim the funds yourself, contact the sender.
Transaction fails
Transaction fails
If the claim fails with a
Claim failed: error message, try the following:- Refresh the page and attempt the claim again — transient RPC errors are common on Solana.
- Make sure your wallet is still connected (the page may have lost the connection after a long idle period).
- Check status.solana.com for any ongoing network degradation.
