This is a guide to all those who bought ET tokens during the token sale. In order to receive the tokens, you have to create an EOS account and submit your account name (or your public key) in your personal cabinet on eternaltrusts.com. Below is our recommendations on how to do this.

Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, with EOS tokens are held in accounts, not by the keys themselves. Accounts must be 12 characters, consisting of numbers and letters. You can search availability of account names at block explorers like eosflare.io. In EOS, creating new accounts requires you to possess an initial stake of EOS. That is why new accounts can either be created by someone that already has an account or through paying a small fee.

For both creating an account and receiving tokens, we recommend using EOS Lynx, which is an easy-to-use wallet made specifically for the EOS ecosystem. EOS Lynx implements a user-friendly environment and runs on desktop, Android and iOS, allowing users to create accounts almost instantly.

In order to receive tokens, you should download and install EOS Lynx on your mobile or desktop. The process is really straightforward:

Paying a small fiat fee within the app to stake some EOS and create your account; Accepting EOS Constitution; Picking up a name for your account, which should contain 12 characters; Generating your private key and storing it somewhere safe.

Below is a video that demonstrates the process of creating the EOS wallet with the EOS Lynx mobile app.

Once you create an EOS account with EOS Lynx, you should log in to your personal Eternal Trusts cabinet and leave your EOS account name here: https://eternaltrusts.com/cabinet/eos. You can also check to see what the Active and Owner keys associated with your account name are by visiting an account explorer, e.g.: http://eosnetworkmonitor.io/#accountInfo
