It brings us great pleasure to announce our launch of the awaited
AERGO 2-Way Native Token ⇄ ERC-20 Swap

This means that users can now perform two way swaps from Aergo native coins on the mainnet to ERC-20, and vice-versa.

Note: This is not to be confused with our swapping service for Binance DEX which is BEP2 →ERC-20. You can read more about this swap here.

A gentle reminder that:

  • Aergo native coins will be used for utility on the Aergo platform: staking in block producer elections on the main network*, utilizing dApps, executing smart contracts and transactions, and so on.
  • Aergo ERC-20 tokens will be purchased through exchanges. Aergo is currently available and traded on exchanges in the ERC-20 token format.

If you are making a withdrawal from Mainnet to ERC-20, make sure your Mainnet tokens are in view through our Aergo Connect Chrome Wallet Extension. You will be prompted an ERC-20 address to receive your tokens to and additionally a deposit address to send your Mainnet Tokens for swapping to.
