Dora Token Mainnet Migration Tutorial

Migrating your Ethereum ERC-20 DORA tokens (opens in a new tab) (ethDORA) from Ethereum to the Dora Vota appchain will enable you to use DORA tokens as utilities in a much wider range of applications, including staking your token to secure the network, participate in appchain-level governance, public good funding, use native DORA tokens in various decentralized governance use cases, such as MACI/aMACI voting rounds, and direct democracy across the Cosmos appchain ecosystem.

  • Step 1 — Enter Migration Portal (opens in a new tab) and read important terms in the user agreement and privacy policy.
  • Step 2 — Connect a wallet holding Ethereum ERC-20 DORA tokens.
  • Step 3 — Enter the amount of ethDORA tokens to migrate.
  • Step 4 — Type in a recipient address to migrate to on the Dora Vota appchain.
  • Step 5 — Preview migration details.
  • Step 6 — Confirm migration by signing with wallet.
  • Step 7 — Check the status of your migration and eventually receive native DORA tokens on the Dora Vota appchain network.

Visit Migration Portal (opens in a new tab) to initiate the migration process

Dora Factory has provided a Migration Portal (vota-migration.dorafactory.org (opens in a new tab)) as an official user interface that facilitates the migration of ethDORA tokens from Ethereum to the Dora Vota appchain via the ethDORA Migration Smart Contract (Ethereum address: 0xe4aa3d3282aE54a8677B93885d4e3B8285cCdD6b (opens in a new tab)).

Other notes

Once the pending migration transaction has been settled on the Dora Vota appchain, you will no longer see a pending migration transaction from the pending transaction list. You can refresh the page to initiate a new migration transaction.

The corresponding amount of tokens will be sent to the Dora Vota address provided by you through the migration process.

Please note that all migration tokens will be sent from the following Dora Vota address: dora1vuzwcykp5zc7phvxasynfjkv6vh6dcyhgzm6wv (opens in a new tab).

The Dora Vota mainnet’s chain ID is vota-ash. The mainnet becomes official once the token migration process is launched. There are two popular blockchain explorers for the Dora Vota mainnet at this moment:
