This section demonstrates how to collect royalty tokens and then claim actual revenue.

Prerequisites

• Setup the client object.
• Understand the Royalty Module

Collect Royalty Tokens

You can collect royalty tokens from children IP Assets, which represent your share of the royalty %. This is only done one time, and anyone can call it (since it doesn't matter if someone else helps me collect my royalty tokens). The royalty tokens will be deposited to the IP Account.

This function will also claim any outstanding revenue tokens that would normally be claimed with claimRoyalty, but since royalty tokens were not yet collected, were not deposited to ancestors.

const response = await client.royalty.collectRoyaltyTokens({
  parentIpId: "0xC92EC2f4c86458AFee7DD9EB5d8c57920BfCD0Ba",
  royaltyVaultIpId: "0xC92EC2f4c86458AFee7DD9EB5d8c57920BfCD0Ba",
  txOptions: { waitForTransaction: true }
});

console.log(`Collected royalty token ${response.royaltyTokensCollected} at transaction hash ${response.txHash}`)

export type CollectRoyaltyTokensRequest = {
  parentIpId: Address;
  royaltyVaultIpId: Address;
  txOptions?: TxOptions;
};

export type CollectRoyaltyTokensResponse = {
  royaltyTokensCollected?: string;
  txHash: string;
};

Setting waitForTransaction: true in the transaction options will return the royaltyTokensCollected.

Claim Revenue

To claim your % of actual money paid to child IP Assets, otherwise known as revenue tokens, you can call claimRoyalty whenever you want.

However before you do this, you must have snapshotIds to provide to the transaction. Anyone can call this function, since it doesn't matter who snapshots. You can get that like so:

const response = await client.royalty.snapshot({
  royaltyVaultIpId: "0xC92EC2f4c86458AFee7DD9EB5d8c57920BfCD0Ba",
  txOptions: { waitForTransaction: true }
});

console.log(`Took a snapshot with id ${response.snapshotId} at transaction hash ${response.txHash}`)

export type SnapshotRequest = {
  royaltyVaultIpId: Address;
  txOptions?: TxOptions;
};

export type SnapshotResponse = {
  txHash: string;
  snapshotId?: bigint;
};

Setting waitForTransaction: true in the transaction options will return the snapshotId.

Now you can claimRevenue as shown below. Only the owner of the royalty tokens at the time of the provided snapshot can call this function.

Claiming to an IP Account

Normally, claimRevenue claims the revenue tokens to the wallet that runs the transaction. However, you can optionally claim to the IP Account by passing an account parameter which is the ipId of the IP Account.

const response = await client.royalty.claimRevenue({
  snapshotIds: ["1", "2"],
  royaltyVaultIpId: "0xC92EC2f4c86458AFee7DD9EB5d8c57920BfCD0Ba",
  token: "0xC92EC2f4c86458AFee7DD9EB5d8c57920BfCD0Ba",
  txOptions: { waitForTransaction: true }
});

console.log(`Claimed revenue token ${response.claimableToken} at transaction hash ${response.txHash}`)

export type ClaimRevenueRequest = {
  snapshotIds: string[];
  royaltyVaultIpId: Address;
  token: Address;
  account?: Address;
  txOptions?: TxOptions;
};

export type ClaimRevenueResponse = {
  claimableToken?: bigint;
  txHash: string;
};

Setting waitForTransaction: true in the transaction options will return the claimableToken.
