How to Withdraw & Burn Tokens
When you’re ready to exit your position, you can burn your sector tokens to get the underlying AI tokens back.
What Happens When You Withdraw
- You send your sector tokens back to the vault
- The vault calculates your share of the underlying tokens
- You receive those tokens in your wallet
- Your sector tokens are burned (destroyed)
On this testnet: You get the underlying tokens back.
On mainnet: You’ll have a choice—get underlying tokens OR USDC.
Step 1: Open ToneFinance
Visit the ToneFinance app and make sure you’re connected to your wallet.
Step 2: Enter Withdrawal Amount
In the withdraw card:
- Click the input field
- Enter how many sector tokens you want to burn
- This could be a partial amount or all of them
- You’ll see the estimated underlying tokens you’ll receive
Example:
- You have 10 sector tokens
- You withdraw 5
- You get back ~0.5 of each underlying token (proportional to 50% of the vault)
Step 3: Approve (First Time Only)
If this is your first withdrawal, you may need to approve sector token spending:
- Click “Approve” button
- MetaMask popup appears
- Review and click “Approve”
- Wait for confirmation
Step 4: Confirm Withdrawal
- Click “Withdraw” button
- MetaMask popup shows the transaction
- Review and click “Confirm”
- Wait for processing
Step 5: Wait for Fulfillment
Similar to deposits, withdrawals go through off-chain fulfillment:
What happens:
- Status shows “Processing…”
- The fulfillment engine is acquiring your underlying tokens
- This usually takes 10-20 seconds
During this time:
- âś… Do NOT close the page
- âś… Do NOT refresh the browser
- ❌ Do NOT submit another withdrawal
Step 6: Success!
When complete:
- Status changes to “Success”
- Your sector token balance decreases
- You’ll see the new tokens in your wallet shortly
- Your withdrawal is done
What You Receive
You get proportional amounts of each underlying token based on:
- Your share of the vault (how many sector tokens you own)
- Total assets in the vault
- Current token prices
The app will show you exactly what you’ll receive before you confirm the withdrawal.
Viewing Your Tokens
After withdrawal, your tokens appear in MetaMask. You might need to:
- Click “Import tokens” in MetaMask
- Enter the token address (you can find these in the Reference section)
- Click “Add Custom Token”
Important Notes
On testnet:
- You receive underlying tokens
- They’re only for testing—no real value
On mainnet:
- You’ll choose: underlying tokens OR USDC
- Gives you flexibility in how you exit
Partial Withdrawals:
- You can withdraw any amount
- Your remaining sector tokens stay in the vault
- Your basket composition stays the same
Common Questions
What if I only want some of the underlying tokens? You’ll receive all 10. To trade them for what you want, use an exchange.
When will the tokens appear? Usually within 30 seconds of fulfillment completing. Check Troubleshooting if they don’t appear.
Can I re-deposit after withdrawing? Yes! You can deposit and withdraw as many times as you want.
What about fees? Only gas fees (ETH) for the transactions. No platform fees on alpha.
