Bridging - Swapping Legacy ZNN to the Alphanet

If you still have ZNN on a Legacy wallet you can swap them over to the Alphanet / NoM but will lose a percentage to the decay mechanism.

Tips for a smooth swap:

  • The Syrius wallet dashboard indicates the current decay percentage.

  • You can use Legacy wallet version 1.6.4 or 1.6.5.

  • Create a fresh wallet.dat backup of your legacy wallet on your desktop. File > Backup > Save as

  • You need a clean installation of the latest Syrius wallet.

  • Download the Alphanet Syrius wallet to a new folder and extract all the files before launching it.

  • Use your 12 or 24 word Mnemonic from testnet Syrius (if you have one) to launch the new wallet.

  • You can get your Syrius Mnemonic in Settings. Scroll down > Backup > Dump Mnemonic

  • Make sure the Syrius wallet points to a fast node or that you have selected the embedded node under Settings > Nodes > Embedded Node > Confirm.

  • You can use PoW to do the transfer without Plasma, but it’s not ideal.

  • Fuel your wallet with Plasma to ensure a smooth transfer from Legacy into Syrius, free Plasma is available from the TG Plasma bot: @alien_valley_plasma_bot

  • The swap function is in Syrius > Settings Tab > Wallet Options > Swap Wallet.

  • It is recommended to send each Legacy address to ‘Address 1’ in Syrius.

  • In the swap wallet process make sure to click the transfer arrows next to each address in Syrius and receive a confirmation tick next to that address before you tap ‘Finish’

  • Follow the video tutorials for reassurance, linked below.

  • The balance of your Legacy wallet will not change, but you will receive your funds in your Syrius wallet.

  • In Syrius go to the Settings tab > add addresses to show the list of all addresses.

  • Any rewards accrued in your Legacy wallet after the snapshot on November 22nd are not credited and will not show up in your Syrius wallet.
