The IOTA migration tool is out, and there is a lot of buzz about using this tool. Those who have been using the Trinity Desktop Wallet are to follow the steps provided in the IOTA migration tool guide.

IOTA has released a new version that provides the progress step indicators, which will simplify the process. Further, there will be minor fixes with adjustments. Users will now be able to check the full Changelog, and they can download it. Those who have already migrated will not have to download it.

IOTA tweeted: “Some users are not sure if they successfully migrated, so a new version of the Seed Migration Tool is out (0.2.2). Click “View Migration Status” on the dashboard. If it is empty, download the new version and install it.”

Previously, during the seed migration period, Trinity users were asked to ensure that they are migrating their tokens to a new seed if they were using the Trinity Wallet from December 17, 2019.

Sydney Ifergan, the Crypto Expert, tweeted: “IOTA is working towards improving the security prospects of the IOTA ecosystem, eventually helping in building the next generation of wallets. Working hard and smart with Daniel Thompson.”

IOTA tweeted that these are the last days to migrate, and the users were advised to use the Seed Migration Tool safely. Elaborate information in this regard is provided in the blog.
