The Matrix mainnet token swap first took place on April 11th. At this time, people had the choice of sending their tokens to an exchange or doing a special type of manual swap. If you’re now reading this, chances are there that most or all exchanges have already completed their Matrix token swap. One of the last popular exchanges that has yet to hold the Matrix token swap as of May 29, 2019 is Huobi Global. If you are unsure Huobi completed the token swap by the time your reading this, it may be best to consult the Huobi Telegram chatroom.

If you’re late to the exchange swaps or just want to do the swap on your own, then this guide is for you. This guide should be used as a reference with the official token swap manual which can be found here.

Since we are swapping late, we must do one of the alternative swap methods listed in the article.

Token Swap set up- Step 1 and 2

Step one and two will help you open up your first Matrix wallet to complete the swap, it will essentially set up the process to connect your current MEW wallet to your new Matrix wallet. Basically this step will help you to create your first new Matrix wallet address etc.

First, make sure your MAN tokens are in your MEW wallet. Now use your MEW wallet credentials (private key/Keystore file) to access your Matrix wallet. Basically you will go on the Matrix wallet site and access the wallet using your MEW wallet credentials. Logging in with your MEW credentials will also log you into your new Matrix wallet, giving you access to your Matrix wallet address etc. At this point you will be able to see your Matrix wallet address, to confirm this, you can move onto step number 3 in the part 2 section of the official manual. When you do this step, it should show you the same Matrix address that you are logged into. This is a simple way to double confirm our Matrix address just to be safe.

Please Note: These beginning steps are to unveil/unlock/obtain your new Matrix wallet address. Your swapped tokens will be sent to this Matrix wallet.

Now after you’ve done this segment from the manual, you’re ready to move on to the next setps!

Using MEW, send your ERC20 MAN tokens to the Matrix token burn address. The Matrix burn address is: 0xA27d3632A283c138C2F78ba21d1e473a500e4AF3

(Double check the above burn address in the official Matrix manual to avoid any mistakes or typos).

2. The hard part is finished! You’re almost done! After sending your tokens from MEW to the burn address, send an Email to the team at : tokenswap@matrix.io

3. In the email, you must include the following information:

The Transaction hash of the tokens you sent to the burn address. Your ERC wallet address The Matrix Mainnet wallet address associated with your ERC wallet address. (The Matrix wallet you unlocked using your ERC wallet credentials in the beginning steps) The number of tokens you sent to the burn address.

You’re all finished!

After sending the email, it may take up to 2 weeks to receive your mainnet MAN coins. Remember, your new MAN coins will go to the Matrix wallet that is associated with your ERC wallet (The Matrix wallet you obtained using your ERC wallet credentials).
