$FET Token Swap Completed

·

The $FET token swap has been successfully completed. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Fetch.ai community for your unwavering support throughout this transition. This milestone marks a significant step forward in the evolution of the Fetch.ai ecosystem, ensuring greater scalability, security, and long-term sustainability for all participants.

The new token contract is now live, and deposits and withdrawals have been fully restored across supported platforms. As we continue updating reference data for various services and wallets, please take note that only the new contract address will be officially recognized by the Fetch.ai Foundation and major exchanges going forward.

New $FET Contract Address

The official and only supported $FET token contract moving forward is:

0xaea46A60368A7bD060eec7DF8CBa43b7EF41Ad85

👉 Ensure your wallet is updated with the correct $FET contract to avoid transaction issues.

Please do not use the legacy 0x1d contract address. While it may still appear active on certain explorers, it is no longer supported by the Fetch.ai Foundation or any major market infrastructure providers. Transactions sent to or from the old contract may result in irreversible loss of funds.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Has the old $FET token been deprecated?
A: Yes, the legacy contract (starting with 0x1d) is no longer supported. While it may still exist on-chain, it should not be used for any transactions.

Q: Will my $FET balance remain the same after the swap?
A: Absolutely. The token swap was designed as a 1:1 migration with no change to your holdings. There was no value loss during the transition.

Q: Do I need to take any action if my $FET is on an exchange?
A: No action is required if your tokens are stored on a major exchange like Binance, OKX, or Kraken. These platforms handled the migration automatically.

Q: What happens if I send $FET to the old contract address?
A: Funds sent to the deprecated contract may be unrecoverable. Always double-check the recipient address and ensure you're using the new contract.

Q: Is the total supply of $FET affected by this swap?
A: The total supply remains unchanged. The swap was purely a technical upgrade to enhance network performance and security.

Q: How can I verify the authenticity of the new contract?
A: You can verify the official contract on Etherscan at 0xaea46A60368A7bD060eec7DF8CBa43b7EF41Ad85. Look for verification status and links to the official Fetch.ai website.

What Comes Next?

With the successful migration, Fetch.ai is now better positioned to roll out advanced AI-driven agents on its decentralized network. The updated smart contract supports improved interoperability, enhanced gas efficiency, and future protocol upgrades.

Wallet providers, data aggregators, and blockchain explorers are gradually updating their systems to reflect the new contract. This process may take several days, but rest assured—your funds are safe, and no balances were altered during the transition.

Smart Contract Fund Reallocation

A minimal amount of tokens remained in the legacy smart contract after migration. These residual funds were irreversibly locked during the transition and have been formally reallocated to the Fetch.ai Foundation’s core wallet. The foundation is actively working to return these funds to their rightful owners where possible.

This reallocation ensures transparency and aligns with best practices in blockchain governance and asset management.
