$ML Migration Guide - ERC20 to Mintlayer Mainnet
September 23, 2025


ACTION REQUIRED: ERC-20 Migration Window Closes on Jan 31, 2026

To give users additional time, we have extended our migration window until January 31, 2026, providing ample opportunity for all users to migrate their $ML tokens from ERC-20 to Mintlayer Mainnet $ML coins.

Two methods to migrate your ERC-20 tokens to Mainnet:

  • Via exchange withdrawals (Gate, MEXC & Bitmart supported)
  • Via the Mintlayer portal (available now, no KYC required)

Setting Up Mojito Wallet (If You Don't Have One)

Need to download Mojito Wallet? We have both a Mobile App and Browser Extension available.

Download: https://www.mintlayer.org/wallet

Wallet Setup Steps:

1. Download and install the Mojito app

2. Create a new wallet and follow the onscreen prompts

3. IMPORTANT: Store your seed phrase in a safe place offline, NOT on your computer. If you lose your seed phrase, you will permanently lose access to your wallet

4. Once inside, click on the Mintlayer icon to access the Mintlayer Wallet (Note: Mojito is also a Bitcoin wallet, so you can switch between wallets by clicking the Bitcoin icon)

5. Click the "Receive" button to display your receiving address

6. Click "Copy Address" to copy your Mintlayer Mainnet wallet address

After you have copied address you can now proceed to Migration portal.

Mintlayer Migration Portal

1. Visit the Mintlayer Migration Portal: https://token.mintlayer.org/migration

2. Paste your Mintlayer Mainnet address (the "mtc1" address from Mojito Wallet)

3. Connect your ERC-20 wallet (MetaMask or Trust Wallet)

4. Choose how many tokens to migrate

5. Click the "Migrate" button and follow the onscreen instructions

Note: Migration transfers are expected to be completed within 24-72 hours. Our support staff will be available to assist with any technical issues.

⚠️ Security Warning: Be careful of scammers and fake migration portals. Unless posted in our official channels, all others are fake or scams. The only official Mintlayer Migration portal is https://token.mintlayer.org/migration

Your Address Checks Itself

One typo in a bech32 address gets caught, located, and corrected before signing. On 0x chains, almost any lowercase string is a valid address. Security at Mintlayer starts at the format level.

An Append-Only Attestation Layer for AI Decisions

Proofs and attestations only become evidence when they live somewhere an auditor can find them, with a timestamp nobody disputes and no way for the operator to revise the collection. Bitcoin-anchored infrastructure provides exactly that.
