Hello future Melon Protocol User! This post will guide you through the process of contributing Ether during the MLN TOKEN contribution period.
Please read this thoroughly before making your contribution;
This guide is for educational purposes only.
Before starting, go to contribution.melonport.com:
- Make sure you understand the Melon project before you contribute. Read the Melon Protocol Green Paper , the Melon Specifications document and the Melon Contribution terms before going any further (see contribution web page)
- Confirm that you are not a US citizen (or acting on behalf of a US citizen)
- If your contribution is successful, you will be receiving MLN tokens which represent a limited usage right to the Melon protocol.
- Make sure that you understand you are not receiving equity in Melonport AG in exchange for your contribution.
By ticking the boxes and providing your ethereum address, you are confirming that you have read, acknowledged and agreed upon all of the terms and conditions.
Ether will be the only cryptocurrency that the contribution smart-contract will accept.
DO NOT send Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency to the contribution Smart Contract address.
DO NOT send Ether (or any other cryptocurrency) to any addresses that may show up in the videos or images below as they may be addresses taken from a test contract.
DO NOT send Ether to our contribution Smart Contract address directly from an exchange or a hosted wallet (Coinbase, for example). You will not be able to access your MLN tokens.

Contribution using the following wallets is also possible:
MetaMask (use the MetaMask Chrome extension to take part in the contribution period):
Not used MetaMask before? Try this explainer from CryptoCompare — https://www.cryptocompare.com/wallets/guides/how-to-use-metamask/
MetaMask should automatically specify the correct amount of gas
MyEtherWallet
For my EtherWallet, once you have signed on the contribution page, you will need to go back to MEW and attach a data string to your transaction or your Ether will not be accepted (see below — in MEW on the “Send Ether & Tokens” page, click “+Advanced: Add Data” under the gas limit field to add data). This data string is generated once you have signed on the contribution web page (see below).
Remember to specify a gas limit of 100000!
Be sure to check you are using the correct address in all instances!
