How to Migrate an Old Electroneum Paper Wallet to ETN 2.0
How to Migrate an Old Electroneum Paper Wallet to ETN 2.0
If you still have ETN stored on an old Electroneum paper wallet, this guide shows how to migrate it to the new ETN 2.0 blockchain using the official Electroneum Smart Chain Migration Tool.
In this video, Claes from Planet ETN walks through the full process step by step. The guide is especially useful for anyone who still has ETN on the old legacy Electroneum blockchain and wants to move it safely to the new chain.
The video also explains an important separate topic: the Electroneum app and the old web wallet at my.electroneum.com are shutting down on July 12. Users of those wallets should retrieve their private keys before that date so they keep full control of their ETN wallet.
It is important to understand that the app/web wallet shutdown and the old paper wallet migration are not the same thing. App and web wallet users are already on the new ETN 2.0 chain, while old paper wallets still need to be migrated from the legacy chain.
In this guide, you will learn how to:
- Download the official Electroneum Smart Chain Migration Tool
- Enter your old ETN address, spend key and view key
- Avoid common copy/paste issues when using old paper wallet keys
- Understand why the migration scan can take several hours
- View the migrated wallet on the ETN block explorer
- Import the new private key into Zypto, MetaMask, Trust Wallet or another Web3 wallet
Important reminder
Always keep your private keys safe. Anyone with your private key can access your wallet. Never share it with anyone, and always make sure you are using official Electroneum links when downloading wallet or migration tools.
