In our continuous effort to enhance Surfboard Finance and ensure the best possible experience for our users and investors, we have decided to migrate our network from Polygon to Ethereum. This strategic move is driven by several key factors that we believe will significantly benefit our community and the long-term success of our project.

Why We Are Migrating to Ethereum

  1. Investor Preferences and Simplicity: Potential investors have expressed concerns regarding the Polygon network, specifically the complexities associated with bridging USDT. Many of our investors prefer using ETH, which is more straightforward and widely accepted. By migrating to Ethereum, we aim to simplify the investment process and address these concerns, thereby attracting more investors.
  2. Liquidity and Swap Issues: We have encountered liquidity and limit issues with the current BOARD/USDT pair on Polygon. To resolve these challenges and enhance the trading experience, we will introduce a new BOARD/ETH pair. This change is expected to provide better liquidity and more seamless transactions for our users.
  3. Feasibility of Migration: Given that Surfboard Finance is still in its early stages, migrating the network will not significantly impact the platform’s functionality. This is the ideal time to make this transition, ensuring minimal disruption while setting the foundation for future growth.
  4. Attracting Investor Interest: A significant move like migrating to Ethereum is designed to attract investor interest and encourage token trading. We believe that this strategic decision will boost confidence in our project and increase the overall trading volume of the BOARD token.
  5. Ticker Symbol Alignment: Currently, the ticker SURFBOARD on MEXC does not match the symbol, and the BOARD ticker is now available on MEXC. By migrating to Ethereum, we can align the ticker symbol accurately, enhancing clarity and consistency across all platforms.

Token Contract Addresses

  • BOARD token address on Polygon (Old): 0xd8513c22dd61161ba3872859a6d10eb1612df742
  • BOARD token address on Ethereum (New): 0x28b06Cc07090BF86323b9617B6bC564DB5Ba4C4D

How the Migration Will Work

The migration process is designed to be smooth and straightforward for our users:

  1. Parallel Running: Initially, the BOARD token on Ethereum will run in parallel with the BOARD token on Polygon. This setup ensures continuity and allows users to transition at their own pace.
  2. Bridging Tokens: Users will be able to move their BOARD tokens from Polygon to Ethereum using a bridge. This process will be automated on MEXC, making it seamless for exchange users.
  3. Manual Migration for Wallet Holders: For those holding BOARD tokens in Polygon wallets, tokens will need to be deposited into the Migration smart contract. This contract will automatically increase the token count on the Ethereum smart contract. Users will then need to withdraw their tokens from the Ethereum contract.
  4. Infographic Guide: We understand that navigating this process can be challenging. To assist our users, we will provide a detailed infographic guide on how to migrate your tokens. This guide will be available very soon.
