Claims & next steps
The claims dashboard is not live yet
You do not need to submit anything at this time. We will make an official announcement when the dashboard is available, with instructions for submitting a claim.
You will not need to import your private keys from the legacy Realio Investment Platform into Freehold.
Affected users will have the opportunity to submit claims for assets through Freehold — on the web app, or in Freehold Mobile for iOS and Android (links below). The claims process will also account for eligible staked funds.
To submit a claim, you will need to
- Create a Freehold account and complete full KYC. If you already have a Freehold account, please complete full KYC.
- Have access to the email address associated with your legacy Realio Platform account.
- Provide the requested information needed to verify and process your claim.
