Why
Based on feedback from community members, institutional investors and leading digital asset exchanges, NKN’s Project team propose to swap the current NEP-5 based NKN tokens to ERC-20 based tokens. This will enable improved liquidity as well as leveraging the larger ecosystem built by Ethereum.
What
- Swap one NEP-5 based NKN tokens (Asset address: c36aee199dbba6c3f439983657558cfb67629599) to one ERC-20 based tokens (contract address: 0x5Cf04716BA20127F1E2297AdDCf4B5035000c9eb). The swap ratio is 1:1.
- This token swap is voluntary. You can keep you NEP-5 based NKN token and do the swap to final NKN token upon mainnet launch.
- This move does not impact the content nor the schedule of NKN mainnet launch, currently planned for June 2019.
- This token swap has nothing to do with NKN test tokens (tNKN) which are mined on NKN’s public testnet.
- There is no change to total number of NKN token issued or token economics.
How
- If you are a customer of exchanges such as gate.io and store your NKN tokens there, exchange will carry out the swap automatically. Please follow exchange’s official notice and instructions.
- If you store your NKN tokens in a personal NEO based wallet (such as O3 Wallet, NEON Wallet), please use NKN’s token swap web tool (https://swap.nkn.org ). Detailed instructions are on the swap website under Help-> Tutorial and also published on NKN’s Medium: Guide: NKN’s official token swap web tool
- If you store your NKN tokens on another digital asset exchange
- You can wait until the exchange and NKN agree upon a time to swap within the trading platform.
- Or you can withdraw NKN tokens from that exchange and deposit into a NEO based wallet (e.g. O3 or NEON). Then follow instructions in step 2.
FAQ
- How long will this token swap take? Are there any cut-off date?
- For Exchange (e.g. gate.io) customers, please follow exchange official notice and instructions.
- NKN’s official web-based swap tool will be open during first quarter of 2019, unless otherwise announced. For better liquidity, we recommend you swap early.
2. How safe is the token swap?
- Safety of digital asset for NKN token holders is of ultimate importance to NKN project team. Therefore we carry out all necessary precautions and planning.
- Please only use the official NKN token swap web tool https://swap.nkn.org , or via exchanges (such as gate.io). Do not fall for scams that claim to be NKN team members or use spoofed website.
- We have a transaction record mechanism in our token swap web tool. If for any reason the swap transaction is not confirmed for a long time (for example, 4 hours or more), please record your order ID so our customer support staff [email protected] can help you track the issue.
3. What will happen to the NEP-5 smart contract?
-
NEP-5 smart contracts will stay intact, since there will be NKN token holders who do not wish to swap tokens. Both NEP-5 and ERC-20 tokens will be supported until NKN mainnet launch, and the total amount will stay the same.
