Hey there, Kin holders! We have a piece of really good news to announce for those who want to seamlessly swap an old Kin ERC20 token to Kin Coin, the native asset of the Kin B lockchain .

According to the Kin official blog, Kin Blockchain is a federated, decentralized blockchain based on the Stellar protocol, on which Kin will be bought, sold, earned, and spent. It provides the speed and scalability required for large scale consumer applications with millions of users, and the promise of security and stability that is the hallmark of decentralized blockchain technology.

Migrating fully to the Kin Blockchain eliminates the complexity of swaps, removes the confusion created by having two types of Kin tokens, and simplifies the integration process with both exchanges and consumer applications.

So how exactly to swap your ERC20 to the new Kin mainnet coin? Together with Kin Changelly prepared this step-by-step tutorial to make the process as seamless as possible. Have a read!

How to Swap your ERC20 Kin token to Kin Coins?

1. First of all, install a crypto wallet that supports Kin, such as Ledger, Magnum Wallet or Freewallet .

2. Go through the kin.changelly.com and login/sign up (to do that you need only an email).

3. On the first step enter the amount of Kin ERC20 token to swap. You will get exactly the same amount of new Kin Coin (except the scanty Gas swap cost to execute a smart contract). Read the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, tick the box below and proceed to the next step.

4. Enter your Kin Coin destination address and Memo.id (if provided) generated by the wallet from step 1 and click the next step.



5. Check the amount, the recipient wallet address and other information. Send your tokens to start the token swap.

6. Now send your Kin ERC20 tokens to us and wait for around 5–10 minutes. Your transaction status is shown in your transaction history along with other transactions made on Changelly.

7. Wait for the swap. The swapping process itself takes around 5 seconds (the rest of the time is taken by the network) and consists of three stages:

As the transaction is completed all the details will be viewed in the window like the one below. You can find your transaction on Blockchain by tapping “See transaction on Blockchain” button.

How does the swap process work?

When doing the swap you don’t do the exchange itself, hence no commission is charged for the procedure, other than the Ethereum gas cost for the transaction. In fact, you send us your Kin ERC20 token, we burn it and fill up your wallet with the same amount of native Kin coin. Changelly accepts tokens from any wallet that supports ERC20 such as Jaxx, Exodus or Myetherwallet, etc.

Pay attention that the swap window will be available between March 15th and June 15th, 2019.
