# Claim specific exited VTXOs

> Sweeps the specified claimable exit outputs into a single on-chain transaction sent to the specified address. Unlike `progress`, the daemon does not claim automatically—this endpoint must be called manually. Poll the `status` endpoint or call `progress` and check for `done: true` to know when VTXOs are ready to claim. This is the final step of the emergency exit process—the bitcoin is not considered back on-chain until this transaction confirms.
