How to Create a Grant

Step-by-step walkthrough for issuing a token grant to a recipient

Issue a token grant from the TGA dashboard. You’ll need at least one grant type, a vesting template, and an existing recipient before you start.

Step 1: Navigate to Token Grants

In the left sidebar, under Grants, click Token Grants.

The grants list shows all existing grants in your organization - their status, recipient, amount, and vesting progress.

Scroll the grants list sideways to see amount, status, and vesting progress

Step 3: Click Create Grant

Click the Create Grant button in the top-right corner to open the grant creation form.

Step 4: Select a grant type

In Grant Type, choose the grant type that defines the token type and grant structure (RTU, RTA, TPA, or TOKEN_BONUS). If you don’t have one yet, see Setting Up Grant Types.

Choose the grant type in the Create Grants form

Step 5: Fill in grant details

Complete the grant form:

  • Employee Email — Search by name or email
  • Grant Amount — Number of tokens to award
  • Grant Name — A descriptive label (e.g., Q1 2026 Token Grant - Jane Smith)
  • Grant Date — When the grant was issued
  • Vesting Start Date — When vesting begins
  • Vesting Template — Select a vesting template
  • Asset Type and Grant Currency — Token or fiat, and the currency the grant is denominated in

Step 6: Review and create

Review the grant details, then click Create Grants. The grant moves to PENDING status and the recipient is notified to accept it.

💡 After creation, the grant stays in PENDING until the recipient accepts it. You can edit the grant amount, vesting dates, and tags while it’s still pending.
