If you participated through our Karura website or through one of our mobile wallet partners, your tokens have been distributed. Users that participated through other means will need to go through the claims process. Learn how to check your distribution.
Only users that participated through the website https://polkadot.js.org/apps (screenshot below) need to go through the claims process. All other users will have their tokens automatically distributed to them. If enter your Kusama address on https://karura.subscan.io/ and don't see your tokens, you probably need to go through the claims process.
We have created the website https://distribution.acala.network/claim for users to claim their tokens.
The KAR rewards will be distributed to the Karura address associated with the Kusama address you used to contribute. Polkawallet users can see their KAR tokens by connecting to the Karura network in the Polkawallet app. Polkadot.js browser extension users can learn how to check their distribution.

30% of your KAR tokens will be immediately unlocked and the remaining 70% will unlock of the duration of the parachain lease. A small portion of your locked tokens will be unlocked with every block (block times are targeted for every 12 seconds).
Your KAR tokens are in your account, but the Fearless UI needs to be updated in order for you to see them. You can check with the Fearless team on the timing of that update. In the meantime, you can also export your mnemonic seed from Fearless to Polkawallet or the Polkadot.js browser extension. If you can't remember your mnemonic seed from Fearless, open the app and go to Settings > Account > (i) > Export Account > Mnemonic Passphrase.
