How to migrate your accounts

Last modified:


To offer users a better experience and wider range of tools, the exchange is moving from Waves DEX to Waves.Exchange.

Waves DEX will stop operating on December 2, 2019. To continue trading you should move your accounts to the new exchange. We strongly recommend that you do this in advance.

The migration process is fast, easy and absolutely secure.

Just open the wallet and sign in to your accounts. Type the password and click on the Sign in.

Also, you can create additional accounts or import existing accounts and migrate all of them at once. For account creation or restoring, please follow the articles below:

If you already migrated the accounts and need to add additional accounts just repeat the migration steps below.


So, let's start the migration procedure.

At the top of the wallet interface, you will find the special notification: We're moving from Waves DEX to Waves.Exchange. Don't forget to move your accounts!

After the countdown ends, Waves.Exchange will become available. Until that date, you can continue to use the old platform as usual. All accounts and transfers will be available on the Waves.Exchange after the official launch and successful migration.
