FAQ
Q: When will mainnet be relaunched?
A: Mainnet will restart on the 27 April 2022, and will continue off at block 58700.
Q: If I claimed and/or staked before mainnet failure do I have to do it again?

Q: What about the remaining 25% to claim?
A: You will be able to claim the remaining 25% once IBC transactions are enabled in PHASE 3, at minimum 5-6 days after relaunch.
Q: When will claiming and staking features be enabled?
A: Staking will be enabled at the same time as relaunch, on the 27th of April. Note that staking rewards will be enabled in Phase 3, at minimum 5-6 days after relaunch. Claiming the airdrop will not be live until Phase 2 (3-4 days after the relaunch).
Q: When will staking rewards be enabled?
A: In the spirit of fairness, rewards will be disabled until Phase 3, at minimum 5-6 days after relaunch to give everyone a fair chance to claim.
Q: Who is eligible to claim?
A: If you staked OSMO, or ATOM, or paid gas on top dApps on Etherium before Nov 26th 2021, you are likely to be eligible for Evmos airdrop. You can find more information on eligibility in the following article under “Rektdrop Eligibility”.
Q: What wallets can be used to claim and stake my EVMOS?
A: Currently only Metamask. To claim on Keplr we hav to wait for IBC transfers to be enabled. Ledger connections will work very soon too. Staking rewards are disabled until everyone has a fair chance to claim.

Q: How long do I have to claim my EVMOS tokens?
A: There is no timeline yet.

Q: Can I buy Evmos?
A: There currently is no exchange to purchase EVMOS, however it is estimated that a Evmos DEXs will be set shortly after mainnet. Later we may also see exchange services provided by Osmosis zone, Diffusion Finance, Cronus Finance, Exswap, Evmoswap... Look out for the one with the most liquidity. One of them will probably win the race and become the dominant DEX
