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.

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.
