# State
### State Objects
The `x/vesting` module does not keep objects in its own store. Instead, it uses the SDK `auth` module to store account objects in state using the [Account Interface](https://docs.cosmos.network/v0.42/modules/auth/02_state.html#account-interface). Accounts are exposed externally as an interface and stored internally as a clawback vesting account.
### ClawbackVestingAccount
An instance that implements the [Vesting Account ](https://docs.cosmos.network/v0.42/modules/auth/05_vesting.html#vesting-account-types)interface. It provides an account that can hold contributions subject to lockup, or vesting which is subject to clawback of unvested tokens, or a combination (tokens vest, but are still locked).
```go
type ClawbackVestingAccount struct {
// base_vesting_account implements the VestingAccount interface. It contains
// all the necessary fields needed for any vesting account implementation
*types.BaseVestingAccount `protobuf:"bytes,1,opt,name=base_vesting_account,json=baseVestingAccount,proto3,embedded=base_vesting_account" json:"base_vesting_account,omitempty"`
// funder_address specifies the account which can perform clawback
FunderAddress string `protobuf:"bytes,2,opt,name=funder_address,json=funderAddress,proto3" json:"funder_address,omitempty"`
// start_time defines the time at which the vesting period begins
StartTime time.Time `protobuf:"bytes,3,opt,name=start_time,json=startTime,proto3,stdtime" json:"start_time"`
// lockup_periods defines the unlocking schedule relative to the start_time
LockupPeriods []types.Period `protobuf:"bytes,4,rep,name=lockup_periods,json=lockupPeriods,proto3" json:"lockup_periods"`
// vesting_periods defines the vesting schedule relative to the start_time
VestingPeriods []types.Period `protobuf:"bytes,5,rep,name=vesting_periods,json=vestingPeriods,proto3" json:"vesting_periods"`
}
```
#### BaseVestingAccount
Implements the `VestingAccount` interface. It contains all the necessary fields needed for any vesting account implementation.
#### FunderAddress
Specifies the account which provides the original tokens and can perform clawback.
#### StartTime
Defines the time at which the vesting and lockup schedules begin.
#### LockupPeriods
Defines the unlocking schedule relative to the start time.
#### VestingPeriods
Defines the vesting schedule relative to the start time.
### Genesis State
The `x/vesting` module allows the definition of `ClawbackVestingAccounts` at genesis. In this case, the account balance must be logged in the SDK `bank` module balances or automatically adjusted through the `add-genesis-account` CLI command.

## 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.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.metanovaverse.com/protocol-developers/modules/vesting/state.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
