Reconciliation service
The Reconciliation service (opens in a new tab)
has been built to restore access
of the migrated funds for affected users after the stake migration from Fetch Staking platform on Ethereum mainnet to
the Fetch Mainnet.
In particular, this service is aimed at users, who used Hardware Wallets for staking of their ERC-20 FET tokens on Fetch Staking platform on Ethereum mainnet.
Due to limitations of Hardware Wallets, these users could not use their Hardware Wallets to access their funds migrated to Fetch mainnet without compromising the air-gap protection level Hardware Wallets offer.
This new reconciliation service resolves this issue, allowing all affected users with Hardware Wallets to regain access to their funds.
Requirements
First, make sure you have installed the ASI Alliance Wallet
browser extension, and it has added an account, where you want the recovered funds to be sent to.\
That account must have some funds on it to pay for transaction fee (1 FET should be way more then enough).
You can buy FET from different centralized or decentralized exchanges.
Secondly, you also need to make sure you have the Metamask (opens in a new tab) wallet browser extension installed,
and it has added the account you originally used to stake your ERC-20 FET tokens on Fetch Staking platform on Ethereum
mainnet.
Once you satisfy these two requirements, head over to the
Reconciliation page (opens in a new tab) and follow the instructions step-by-step.
It is important to remember that your Metamask Wallet must be connected to the Ethereum Mainnet, and your ASI Alliance Wallet must be connected to the Fetch Mainnet (fetchhub-4).
Walk-through
Head over to the Reconciliation page (opens in a new tab) and click on Next.
Step 1
You need to connect your ASI Alliance Wallet in order to retrieve the Recovery Address where your reconciled funds will be sent to. Click the Connect Wallet button and provide the data needed to log in to your ASI Alliance Wallet.
A pop-up will show up; click Approve.
You will then be able to see the Recovery Address where your reconciled funds will be sent to.
You can change the Recovery Address at any point via the ASI Alliance Wallet extension, by choosing any other
account of choice.
You can then click on Next.
Step 2
Now it is necessary to select the Ethereum address you originally used for staking on Ethereum - the selected address MUST be the one you used to stake your tokens on Fetch Staking platform on Ethereum mainnet.
Open your Metamask extension and click on Connect
Once you do so, you will see that the fields in the page will be automatically populated based on account you selected in the Metamask.
You can switch between any of your Metamask accounts. The fields will be updated automatically based on account chosen in Metamask.
If you select address which was never used for staking on Fetch Staking platform on Ethereum mainnet, or if
that address was already reconciled, then the Reconciliation dApp will display the following error message in
red color: "This address appears to not be affected by the staking migration issue", see the screenshot below.
Then it will be necessary to select correct account in the Metamask wallet extension in order to be able to continue in the reconciliation workflow.
Once you connected the correct Ethereum account to companion.fetch.ai, you will be able to see details about the Staking Address and the Amount to Restore.
Review the details and press the Create Signature button.
That will create Ethereum message associating destination target address on Fetch Mainnet with original Ethereum source address, and sends it to the Metamask wallet for signing.
This does not require any ETH gas, since all what is being done is generating an Ethereum signature for the message.
Note that amount of tokens displayed in the Amount to Restore [afet] box is presented in the afet denomination.
In order to get the amount in FET denomination, it is necessary to shift the decimal point by 18 orders of
magnitude to the left, what means dividing the amount displayed by 1018.
In the example above, the 30000000000000000000 amount displayed there represents 30 [FET] tokens.
The Metamask pop-up will appear. Click Confirm.
Great! Now you will see all the fields fully populated:
The resulting signature serves dual purpose:
- Primarily it is the proof of ownership of funds associated with original Ethereum address;
- Secondarily it is proof of association between the Fetch destination recovery address and Ethereum source address.
If user needs to switch to a different Ethereum Staking address, then after selecting a new account in the Metamask
wallet extension, it might be necessary to connect the newly selected account in Metamask in order to make the
Reconciliation dApp UI aware of the account change - see the screenshot below.
This will be necessary if the newly selected account was not connected to reconciliation url before.
User can switch the Ethereum staking address (or Fetch recovery address) at any point during the workflow before submitting the transaction.
Click Next.
Step 3
You will be redirected towards a summary page where you can view all details about the transaction. You can change any of the details you see, but you will be prompted back at the previous steps to reconnect your wallet/accounts. Make sure all details are correct and click Submit.
A pop-up will appear for your ASI Alliance Wallet extension. Click Approve Transaction.
Great! You successfully completed all the steps required. You now should be able to see your reconciled funds at the Recovery Address provided similarly to what depicted below:
