KLAY and FNSA holders
What happened to Klaytn and Finschia?
Klaytn and Finschia merged to form Kaia through governance decisions made by both chains. You can view the voting results here. The utility tokens of the two chains (KLAY and FNSA) are converted to the KAIA token. You can find the exchange rates for both tokens here.
What happens to KLAY and FNSA?
With the launch of the KAIA coin, KLAY balances were automatically reflected as KAIA. FNSA holders are able to use the swap service on the Kaia Portal to burn their FNSA tokens on the Finschia network and claim an equivalent value of KLAY tokens. Please read this post to learn more about swapping your FNSA to KAIA.
Will I need to create a new wallet for Kaia?
Your Klaytn wallet will be usable on Kaia, but you will need to update the RPC and block explorer URLS if you are using a 3rd-party multi chain wallet such as Metamask. These will be provided at a later date. Finschia wallet holders will need to create a Kaia wallet, and a website will be provided for FNSA holders to burn their tokens and claim an equivalent value of KAIA.
Will Klaytn provide a swap or migration website for new KAIA tokens?
No action is required from users. KLAY tokens will be automatically renamed to KAIA tokens.
Will there be any delay in receiving KAIA tokens?
The token swap will be delayed by at least 30 minutes Timelock for safety. Relayers and RPC nodes may incur insignificant additional delays
Is there a limit on the amount for swapping KLAY and FNSA tokens?
There is no limit for swapping and bridging the two tokens.
I'm currently staking FNSA. Will I need to wait 7 days to unstake my FNSA to swap to KAIA?
With the upcoming launch of Kaia, a governance vote will be proposed on the Finschia network to smoothly integrate token and governance mechanisms, including potentially reducing the unbonding time from 7 days to a couple of hours. If the vote passes, FNSA holders will be able to unstake and swap without having to wait a week.
Where can I find the historical price information for KLAY and FNSA? I can't seem to find it on CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko anymore.
Due to the merger of KLAY and FNSA and their transition to the new token KAIA, historical price information for KLAY and FNSA is no longer available on cryptocurrency tracking websites. However, we have preserved this data for transparency and reference purposes. You can download CSV files containing the historical price data for both KLAY and FNSA from Kaia native coin - KAIA.
DApp builders
What do DApps on Klaytn need to do to migrate to Kaia?
Klaytn apps will work seamlessly with the Kaia chain, requiring only rebranding. The team will provide branding guidelines. For existing Finschia apps, tech updates and marketing support will be provided through their business channels.
