How to do a token swap?

「Do it yourself」 — 「Safe but requires special knowledge about blockchain」
The team usually will give out instruction for how swap their token with their native asset. However, it might requires knowledge about understanding the fundamental of how blockchain works. Otherwise, you might lost all of your funs.

「Find a centralized exchange that supports」 — 「Need to fully trust if the party will take all of your token and run away」
There would have exchange that makes announcement of supporting particular token swap.

EOS / ONT, for example

EOS just finished its token swap. It was aimed to swap at June 1, 2018. Its token swap was finished after 3 weeks. (it might take longer or shorter depends on the complexity)
