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

  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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

  • For Exchange (e.g. gate.io) customers, please follow exchange official notice and instructions.

Hi, how can I make a token swap from nep-5 to mainnet nkn?
On the swap site, there is no item from nep-5 to mainnet.

Hi admin, I’d like to swap from mainet to erc-20.But the last time the swap was available, it required a minimum of 3000 NKN. I currently dont have that much in my wallet.Can you help please?

It has been more than 2 years since our swap from NEP-5 to ERC-20 was completed. If you still have NEP-5 tokens, please use gate.io exchange which supports both NEP-5 and ERC-20 NKN tokens.
