AWC: Common Questions

Introduction

AWC is the native token of Atomic Wallet. You can receive AWC cashback for any swap you make in the app. Don't get confused once you notice there are several AWC tokens in your coin list—we'll talk about all of them in this guide.

Atomic Wallet & AWC: A Brief Overview

Swap. You can swap  ERC-20 AWC and  BEP-20 AWC in the Swap tab in our app. For more details, see Where do I swap my AWC?.
Buy crypto. AWC is unavailable for fiat purchases at this time. 
Staking. AWC is unavailable for staking in Atomic Wallet at this time. We plan to implement  BEP-20 AWC staking in the future.

Why are there three AWC tokens in the app?

In 2019, we migrated AWC from Ethereum to the Binance blockchain. Subsequently, 50% of the token's supply got issued under the BEP-2 protocol. The one 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 migrated the  BEP-2 AWC token to  BEP-20 AWC. More about it here. Due to the BNB Chain shutdown, BEP-2 tokens can no longer be sent or swapped. As a result,  BEP-2 AWC will be delisted soon.

What's the difference between the tokens?

• BEP-2 AWC is no longer available for swapping or staking due to the BNB Chain shutdown.
• ERC-20 AWC can be swapped in the wallet. 
• BEP-20 AWC can be swapped in the wallet. Cashback for crypto swaps and purchases is paid in BEP-20 AWC.  

Where can I trade my AWC?

Both   ERC-20 AWC and  BEP-20 AWC can be traded in the Swap tab. Please note that you’ll need some BSC (for BEP-20) or ETH (for ERC-20) to cover the transaction fees.

When will I receive my AWC cashback?

Cashback isn't awarded on a per-swap basis, so don't worry if you haven't received yours right after making a trade. We distribute AWC membership awards in batches, accounting for all swaps made the previous month. For example, you'll receive your cashback for all the swaps you made throughout December by the end of January, etc.

Why have I received much less AWC in cashback than I was expecting?

There's an upper limit on how much AWC you can receive via our membership program, which you can check in the Settings tab on the left sidebar. The limit currently caps at 400 USD worth of AWC in cashback per month for our Platinum users.
