Notes before you start:
- Before moving forward, downloading and installing a wallet are a must (MetaMask wallet is used as an example for instructions). You need to either create a new MetaMask wallet or import an existing one.
- The default network setting in MetaMask is Ethereum Mainnet, which means you will need to set up MetaMask on Telos Mainnet.
Important Note
Multichain router allows users to swap assets between two chains arbitrarily. Before your first swap on Multichain Exchange, contract approval is required with every token that interacts with a contract. It is a one-off process, and you will not go through it again when it comes to the same token.
Steps:
- Go to Mutichain.org
- Connect your Wallet (eg. Metamask)
- To set up your network:
- Click ETH Mainnet
- Select Telos Mainnet
- Click 'Approve'
- Click 'Switch Network'
- Make sure Telos network is connected
- Select your token from the drop-down menu
- Enter the amount you want to transfer
- Click network tab and select destination chain from the drop-down menu
- Click 'Approve"
- Once approved, a small notification window will appear. Click to see the details if you want to.
- Alternatively, you can find transaction records according to the following steps. Contract approval is a must-do for every token with a contract. Next time, you can go swap directly.
