The Ontology team has announced there will be two methods to map and migrate tokens to the Ontology MainNet, which is planned to launch at the end of June. ONT can be migrated either through an exchange, or through private wallets.

Mapping and migrating ONT tokens to the MainNet has been a part of the Ontology development roadmap since its inception; the NEP-5 based ONT tokens were a temporary measure until the MainNet was launched. Users will need to migrate their ONT for them to be usable on the Ontology network. If users do not migrate their tokens, they will also not unlock ONT GAS (ONG), much like NEO holders unlock GAS by holding their tokens.

Participants must await for official notice as to which exchanges will be able to conduct the migration process. KuCoin has announced they will support the swap.

Private wallet users will need to use a NEO wallet, as well as an ONTO wallet (scheduled release July of 2018) to map their swap. The NEO and ONTO wallets will both use the same address, private key, and wallet import format (WIF) for the migration.

ONT will not be divisible once it is on the Ontology MainNet, therefore only ONT tokens rounded to whole numbers will be able to properly migrate.

Once the NEP-5 ONT tokens have been swapped for ONT MainNet tokens, the NEP-5 tokens will burn automatically. After the migration has been initiated, users will be able to check on the status through the Ontology block explorer or through a swap status check page (which won’t be live until the launch of MainNet).
