# 8.2 Smart claimant The time-locked wallet created in the previous section is simple. However, if the beneficiary wishes to split the balance among multiple beneficiaries after deployment, we cannot simply modify or redeploy the time-locked wallet. However, if the beneficiary wishes to split the balance among multiple beneficiaries after deployment, we cannot simply modify or redeploy the time-locked wallet. This could be due to various reasons, such as the beneficiary wanting to share with their family members. At some point, the balance will be unlocked, and the sole beneficiary can claim it. To ensure a smooth process, we can create a simple smart contract to act as the beneficiary. This contract will call for a claim and, if successful, distribute the tokens equally among a list of principals. This exercise demonstrates how smart contracts can interact with each other, and how they can enhance functionality or address issues with older contracts. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
