# Withdraw $GQ from Blink Galaxy

### Withdrawing $GQ from Blink Galaxy

To be able to withdraw $GQ to Blink Galaxy, two steps need to be taken: **Mint** and **Claim**.

**(1) Mint**  <img src="/files/9zEm1xXMgjco1EcjdMc2" alt="" data-size="line">

Minting in Blink Galaxy is a process that involves transferring tokens from your account in Blink Galaxy to the blockchain with the wallet assigned to your account as the destination. This procedure is carried out through a smart contract, which is responsible for generating the tokens on the blockchain. Once the tokens have been minted, they are available to start a claim process.&#x20;

> ℹ️ To mint, it is necessary to complete the KYC (Know Your Customer) process to ensure secure transactions and guarantee compliance with legal and regulatory norms.

**(2) Claim** <img src="/files/9NlBBOzcyaLfBskxytwa" alt="" data-size="line">

Claiming on Blink Galaxy means transferring tokens that you have previously minted with your personal wallet as the destination.&#x20;

Once the process is completed, you will receive the tokens in your wallet associated with your Blink Galaxy account.
