We have now reached the end of our migration process which we kicked off back in March, which is a good opportunity to write about the “before, during, and after” of it all.

Backpedaling a bit, we announced that we would be going all-in on our native Kin blockchain last November. One Kin, One Blockchain was an important development in Kin’s progress towards providing a sustainable and reliable infrastructure that would allow for real-world usage. Our work following this announcement focused on setting up the structure to enable anyone to swap their tokens to the new native Kin blockchain.

In the three months since the migration began, we worked with different exchanges and swap partners to help facilitate the migration. We conducted a survey and saw that most users swapped using the exchange companies in the first month. Later on, in April and May, our swap partners, Changelly and Coinswitch, took on the majority of the swapping.

Now, at the end of our migration process, ~65% of Kin in circulation has been migrated.

To conclude the migration, we partnered with the Coinswitch Swap Service to allow everyone to continue swapping their ERC20 tokens for another year, until June 2020. Migration instructions available at — https://www.kin.org/migration

Additionally, if you will have any issues, you can continue to send support requests to migration-support@kin.org.

We have now reached a point where we can focus on developing the Kin blockchain, increasing its capacity, maintaining its reliability and its security, all while continuing to provide support for users with ERC20 Kin.
