Install Keplr

Keplr is an open-source browser extension wallet that supports the Cosmos interchain ecosystem. It provides functionalities for account and wallet management for all Cosmos-SDK-based blockchains.

The Keplr extension is supported only on Chrome. You can also use it on Brave, but some features may be unavailable. You can’t, however, use the Keplr extension from your mobile.

3. Either Create a new account or Import an existing account with the mnemonic phrase that you got from the ODIN testnet or previously creating an account. Note that currently, the wallet is not connected to the ODIN network, so it will not show the correct info for that account.

Create account: In case you have never used Keplr or didn’t participate in ODIN testnet
Import account: If you participated in ODIN testnet, you could easily import your wallet using your mnemonic phrase.

How to migrate

You will need to permanently lock your BSC ODIN.

To use the migration web tool to migrate your ODIN, you will have to lock the BSC ODIN permanently. This means that these ODINs are as good as burnt.

There will be a period of time before ODIN appears on your mainnet address as we transfer them once every 24 hours.

Steps to Migration

Open Web Tool

Go to the ODIN Token Migration website

A pop-out window will ask you for permission to add the ODIN network to Keplr and also give access:

After you approve, you need to open the extension and click on the network name at the top.

From there, a menu with all the networks will open, and you should select ODIN118. After that, Keplr will visualize the correct information about your account:
