Plutons are on ETH mainnet: When using any kind of Ethereum wallet, please make sure that your wallet is connected to the ETH network, on mainnet. In the case that the wallet installer asks you whether you support the hard fork, please choose YES.

If you have any other questions or suggestions, you can ask the Plutus team directly on http://slack.plutus.it

P.S. We recommend storing your Plutons safely until the Plutus Tap & Pay app is launched. You will then be able to convert and spend them at millions of contactless terminals worldwide.

Sincerely,

The Plutus Team
