# Extraction & Cooldowns

**Claiming your mined tokens is done through the Extraction process.**

When you extract, all accumulated $HASH tokens move from the datacenter pool directly to your wallet.

To extract - **you need to have a few $HASH tokens in your wallet** (to open a Solana token account).

Extracting withdraws your node from the datacenter and triggers **a random 15–30 minute cooldown.**&#x20;

### Node Cooldown

Your node cannot be redeployed until this period ends, though this can be shortened if your node has a Cooldown Reduction passive skill.

If you fail to maintain your node and its power drops **below 25%**, the system will automatically extract it for you (with a 10% penalty fee) and send it to your wallet.
