6. Wait for Confirmation: Once confirmed, you are ready to migrate your domains to the EVM side-chain.

Handling the Migration: Important Details and Timelines

As we progress with the migration of .xrp domains to the EVM side-chain, we want to ensure that our community is fully informed about the process and what to expect. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

Testnet Phase Reminder

It’s important to remember that the current migration process is happening on the testnet. This phase is crucial for ironing out any potential issues and ensuring a smooth transition for all users. We encourage everyone to participate actively in this phase to help us perfect the process.

Pause on .xrp Domain Minting

Once we move to the EVM mainnet, it’s important to note that the minting of new .xrp domains will be paused on XRPL. This pause is a necessary step to ensure a seamless transition and to maintain the integrity and stability of the domain system during the migration period.

Weekly Airdrops on Mainnet

To facilitate a smooth transition for those who are getting their domains migration-ready, we will be conducting weekly airdrops of EVM domains on the live mainnet. This approach is designed to ensure that everyone’s transition to the new system is as seamless as possible.

We understand that this migration represents a significant change, but we are committed to making this process as smooth and transparent as possible. We appreciate your continued support and patience as we embark on this exciting new chapter for XNS.

Stay tuned for further updates and instructions as we move closer to the mainnet launch.

What’s Next: The Launch of the XNS Marketplace on Testnet

As we progress with the migration, we’re equally excited about another major development: the debut of the XNS Marketplace on the testnet. This innovative platform will not only revolutionize the trading of .xrp domains but also strengthen our community bonds.

Upcoming Update: A Closer Look at the Testnet Marketplace

Our forthcoming update will delve into the marketplace’s features and its integration within the XNS ecosystem, specifically on the testnet. This insight will highlight how the marketplace enhances user experience and interaction within the testnet environment.

Your insights will be invaluable in refining the marketplace, ensuring it meets the community’s needs and expectations.

Stay tuned for a detailed exploration of the XNS Marketplace on the testnet — a significant step in our digital domain ecosystem’s evolution!
