RE: Register Before June: Your EOS and eosDAC Will Freeze Forever!

in #eos6 years ago

As long as you have your Etheruem address registered with the smart contract on Eth network, the tokens will be 'transferred​' for you and more importantly you will receive​ all the airdrops that are currently happening. Most exchanges will honor the mainnet swap but NOT the airdrops.

Here is a link on how to use the exodus wallet with a 1-click registration process, it is super simple and has worked​ for me and many others.

Yeah, the airdrops are a big reason I recommend people do this on their own (that, and actually owning your own cryptocurrency).

Exodus doesn't support eosDAC, so that concerns me a little, but if the EOS tokens go off the registered addresses, it should hopefully be okay if people store their eosDAC tokens there as well.

Indeed it is, you can check the status of the current airdrops sent to you registered Eth address by going to etherscan.io.

Also do not forget to check out how you your account name will appear on the mainnet, it is good stuff

How do you 'redeem' the airdrops in MEW? I haven't been able to find much good information on this. Do the airdropped tokens go to the same address that you provide for the airdrop snapshot?

Hey @mydayswithsound.

I would personally wait for the EOS mainnet launch to complete so that EOS based tokens can be handled natively, but if you do not want to wait, there is a good how-to​ on GitHub​

If you had your EOS ERC-20 tokens stored in MEW (and registered) the tokens will be attached to that address.

Head over to MEW and create a custom token by following these steps

  1. On the "Send Ether & Tokens" page on MEW, click View Balance Only (Must use one of above options to send) and paste your address.
  2. In the sidebar, click the https://etherscan.io link under Transaction History or How to See your Tokens.
  3. Click the dropdown in the right-upper quadrant. It's labeled Token Tracker.
  4. Click the token that you aren't seeing on MEW.
  5. Copy the string next to Contact Address.
  6. Back on MEW, click the Add Custom Token button on the right sidebar.
  7. Paste the Contact Address.
  8. Type in what you want to call it - the name or the symbol.
  9. Return to Etherscan.io. Look for the number (between 0 and 18) next to Token Decimals.
  10. Enter this under Decimals on MEW.
  11. Click "Save" on MEW.

Credit for the MEW how-to.

Thank you, appreciated! I might wait for the mainnet launch then, I just thought - since some of the airdrops take the snapshot at the mainnet launch - I needed to do some preparation before the mainnet to be able to claim those tokens.

Thanks for sharing this for Exodus.
