The Claims Plugin (Officially the GriefDefender Plugin) is a plugin that allows one to protect area's they wish not to be griefed/altered by others without their permission. When a GriefDefender area has been set, unauthorized people can not at all interact with the area other than walking through it (Unless the person has been banned from the area).
To create a claim, one must first reach level 1. After this, one must get claim blocks to use. To get them, one must either acquire them via crate rewards or by buying them using the /buyclaimblocks <amount> command (Each block costs 1 gem). Now, one could use either the claim tool (Enchanted glowstone dust) or the /claim command to start claiming. Hit the block at one of the four corners of the desired area, and do the same at the other end diagonally (e.g. left bottom and right top).
The plugin includes the ability to change the ownership of claims, allowing one to sell and buy claims, as well as transferring ownership to others at will. Although rarely used, it could well be a good source of income if the contents of the claim are deemed valuable. Furthermore, it allows for base adoption via transferring commands. Related to this, is a program that is currently operated by Prism Staff to protect bases from griefers and to preserve overall history by changing ownership of abandoned bases.
