Question 22

Accepted Answer

Upgrading gives you access to new features including Liberty Chain gas payments, lower transaction costs, governance participation, and access to the RWA tokenization ecosystem. Old tokens will eventually be deprecated.

Question 23

Is this a 1:1 swap?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is a 1:1 token migration. You exchange your old LCX tokens for new LCX tokens at exactly a 1:1 ratio. Your balance remains the same. There is no token split or airdrop.

Question 24

What happens to my old tokens?

Accepted Answer

Old tokens remain functional for 12 months (until Feb 4, 2027). After the migration window closes, old tokens will no longer be supported on LCX platforms. We strongly encourage early migration.

Question 25

What wallets support Token 2.0?

Accepted Answer

Any wallet that supports Ethereum ERC-20 tokens: MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, WalletConnect-compatible wallets, Ledger, Trezor, and more. Token 2.0 is deployed on Ethereum, Base, and will be available on Liberty Chain at mainnet launch.

Question 26

When will Token 2.0 be available on Liberty Chain?

Accepted Answer

Token 2.0 will be available on Liberty Chain at mainnet launch (Q2 2026). You can bridge tokens from Ethereum or Base using the Superchain bridge.

Question 27

Question 30

How do I upgrade my tokens?

Connect your wallet to the Upgrade Portal at chain.lcx.com/claim, approve the old LCX token contract, enter the amount to upgrade (or click "Max"), confirm the transaction, and receive new LCX Token 2.0 instantly.

Question 31

What about tokens on exchanges?

Accepted Answer

LCX Exchange fully supports the upgrade and will handle it automatically. For tokens held on other exchanges (including Coinbase, Kraken, and others), please check directly with your exchange for their specific upgrade plans and timelines.

Question 32

Do I pay gas fees?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you pay standard Ethereum network gas fees for approval and migration transactions. Costs vary depending on network congestion.

Question 33

When does the upgrade start?

Accepted Answer

Token upgrade begins February 4th, 2026. The 1:1 migration is available immediately. Staking rewards begin at Liberty Chain mainnet (Q2 2026). Until mainnet, supply remains fixed at 1 billion.

Question 34

Does the upgrade dilute my tokens?

Accepted Answer

No. The 1:1 upgrade has zero dilution—you keep exactly what you have. Post-mainnet network rewards are new supply for stakers. If you stake, you earn rewards that offset any supply growth. The network is designed to transition to fee-based sustainability.

Question 35

How does the growth model work?

Accepted Answer

We use a declining rewards model: 5% annually for years 1-3, 3% for years 4-6, 1.5% for years 7-9, then 0% forever. This predictable schedule rewards early participants while ensuring long-term value preservation.

Question 36

Can I upgrade in multiple transactions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can upgrade any amount at any time during the 12-month migration window. You don't have to upgrade all your tokens at once.

Question 37

Is the upgrade contract audited?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the upgrade contract (TokenMigrator) has been audited by reputable blockchain security firms. The contract uses a proven burn-and-mint pattern for secure token migration.

Question 38

What if I don't upgrade within 12 months?

Accepted Answer

After the claim window closes on Feb 4, 2027, old tokens will no longer be supported on LCX platforms. We strongly encourage you to migrate before the deadline to avoid any issues.

Question 39

How do I verify the official Upgrade Portal?

Accepted Answer

Only use URLs announced through LCX.com, official Twitter/X (@LCX), and official emails. The official portal is chain.lcx.com/claim. Always verify the smart contract addresses: Legacy LCX Token: 0x037A54AaB062628C9Bbae1FDB1583c195585Fe41 | New LCX Token 2.0: 0x8CD41041505885EF0aD3858181D66f17BE8aae7E. Check these addresses on Etherscan before approving any transactions.

Question 40

Will my token value change after migration?

Accepted Answer

No. This is a 1:1 technical upgrade. Your token count stays the same. Market value is determined by trading, not migration. The upgrade simply unlocks new features.

Question 41

Can I still use old tokens during the migration period?

Accepted Answer

Yes, old tokens remain functional until you migrate them. However, new features (governance, Liberty Chain gas fees) require Token 2.0. We recommend migrating early.
