PAPER WALLET MIGRATION PRE MARCH 2024 – VIEW KEY STARTING ETN

Electroneum has provided dedicated tools and developer documentation to guide users through migrating legacy paper wallets to the Electroneum Smartchain (ETN 2.0).Below is a breakdown of how the migration process works, what details you need from your paper wallet, and the step-by-step instructions.

The Desktop Smartchain Migration Tool For non-technical users, Electroneum released an official Desktop GUI Smartchain Migration Tool (available on GitHub for Windows, macOS, and Linux).The app connects to a legacy remote node (legacy-rpc.electroneum.com), scans your paper wallet’s transaction history on the legacy blockchain, and automatically transfers your ETN across the bridge to a new Smartchain (EVM-compatible) wallet.What You Will NeedFrom your original Electroneum paper wallet, you will need three pieces of information:

  • Public Wallet Address (Public Wallet on your paper wallet)
  • Secret Spend Key (Private Spend on your paper wallet)
  • Secret View Key (Private View on your paper wallet)

Download the Official Tool:

Download the installer for your operating system from the official Electroneum GitHub Releases repository.

Launch & Input Details:

Open the desktop migration tool and enter your paper wallet’s Public Address, Private Spend Key, and Private View Key when prompted

Synchronization Phase:

The app will connect to the legacy remote node and sync your paper wallet balance.

Note: Scanning and syncing can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours depending on network traffic and wallet age.

Automatic Bridge Transfer:

Your legacy ETN is sent to the official migration bridge address. An oracle transaction automatically mints and deposits your equivalent ETN to your newly generated Electroneum Smartchain (EVM) address.

Receive Your Funds:

Once complete, the tool provides a confirmation message along with your New Smartchain Address and transaction links to view your balance on the block explorer. You can then import your private key or seed phrase into EVM-compatible wallets like Zypto, or MetaMask

Security Reminder: Never share your private keys or seed phrases with anyone online or on unverified websites. Only download migration tools directly from Electroneum’s official GitHub releases.

The whole migration process can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours depending on network traffic and wallet age.
