XDC token will be switching from the previous consensus mechanism to its exclusive XDPoS consensus. This means that the users need to swap token for the Mainnet before the old XinFin chain is closed and all its tokens are burned.

The swap will be exclusively done on an exchange called AlphaEx.net, and the deposit window for the transition scheduled to be closed on July 1, 2019, but it has been extended and will be closed soon.

To swap tokens on the XinFin Mainnet, follow the below steps.

Step 1: Create a new AlphaEx account by clicking here.

In case you already have an account, the same account can be used.

Step 2: Once the account is set up, transfer the XDC tokens from XDC Web Wallet or XDC Wallet(mobile application) to the XDC address of AlphaEx wallet.

Step 3: Check the balance in the AlphaEx wallet to ensure that the XDC tokens are received. Following this, complete the KYC flow.

For more details to understand the flow of KYC please visit AlphaEx.

Step 4: Create a new XinFin Web Wallet or XDC Wallet mobile application, depending on your preference.

To create a web wallet, click here.

To create a mobile app wallet, click here.

Make sure to store your private key at a secure place.

Step 5: After KYC completion, you can withdraw your tokens from AlphaEx to the XinFin web wallet or XDC Wallet mobile application.
