Topic: NEM Cryptocurrency Symbol Opt-in launch date XEM Holders at Snapshot to get XYM (Read 166 times)

I actually saw on their news that there are several companies using the platform where this XYM token will be used. I think about 5 is already using their blockchain business platform prior to their launch.

What will be the application of this XYM tokens? Because even if it is free for those XEM holders, then what? I don't read the importance of this XYM. XEM alone is not a very popular platform though they are in the top 30 cryptocurrencies. But how many projects have been built under NEM and are now successful? I can't even name one project to be honest.

Perfect time, prices has crashed and 1 XEM is actually very cheap.

Its simple, you get the same number of their new token with how many XEMs you have.

Is this XEM's airdrop for their new token? How does this work?

NEM recently expressed that the Symbol Opt-in launch date is announced.  The opt-in opening date for Symbol is September 15, 2020.

The Opt-in date was on September 07, 2020; however, an additional 8 days have been allotted for testing in order to improve the UI/UX.  There are no new reported challenges as the testing seems to continue.

For those who do not understand opt-in, it is the method by which the existing XEM holders will be able to claim their XYM tokens at the point of Snapshot, which will take place prior to the new chain launch of Symbol, which is scheduled for December.

To place the claim on XYM users should understand and accept the terms and conditions which is available on the website.  This is a part of the process of Opt-in.

Of note, the Opt-in web pages and terms and conditions will also be going live on September 15, 2020.

At the point of snapshot, for those who do not opt in the XEM balance that is there, will be allocated with an equivalent amount of XYM in to the user’s wallet.  Thus, users will be able to Opt-in to their your XYM tokens for nearly 6 years after the launch date providing further details about how this might get shared in the near future.

Starting, September 15, 2020 users will be able to Opt-in using the NEM desktop wallet and the NEM mobile wallet for Android versions only. Notably, the single accounts, which can consist of namespaces & harvesting keys; and Multi Signature accounts, which can consist of namespaces and harvesting keys. Of note, they have also stated that the Multi Signature account Opt-in could only be initiated in the NEM desktop wallet.


The best option for now is to store the funds in the NEM desktop wallet.
