BEP-2 AWC, ERC-20 AWC, and BEP-20 AWC
In 2019, AWC was migrated to the Binance blockchain, with 50% of the token's supply getting issued under the BEP-2 protocol. The two resulting assets are easy to tell apart in the app: the token based on the Ethereum blockchain ( ERC-20 AWC) features a blue icon, whereas the Binance-based token ( BEP-2 AWC) has a yellow one. In 2022 we introduced the BSC-based AWC ( BEP-20 AWC). More about it here.
It can be tricky at first to figure out how to swap the latter, but don't worry, we have your back.
How to swap your ERC-20 AWC for BEP-2 AWC
Since staking is only available for the token based on the Binance blockchain, you may be willing to trade your ERC-20 AWC for it. For more details about how to swap your tokens at a 1:1 rate, see How to Swap Atomic Wallet Token (AWC).
How to swap my BEP-2 AWC for BEP-20 AWC
You will be able to swap your BEP-2 AWC for BEP-20 AWC once we've set up a special service for the swap. Stay tuned!
In-app swap (ERC-20 AWC and BEP-20 AWC)
BEP-2 AWC is unavailable for swap in the Atomic Wallet app. Please see the AWC-supporting exchanges section for a list of platforms where you can trade your token.
Our partners offer full support for the Ethereum- and BSC-based AWC tokens. The tokens are available in the Swap tab in the app. Keep in mind you'll still need to have a small amount of ETH on your address to pay the network fees for the swap (or BSC, in the case of BEP-20 AWC). If you don't, click on Claim ETH (or Claim BSC) to request funds from us to cover the fees. More about claiming funds here.
