Wrapping Walkthrough

Written by POKT News.

To wrap your POKT you'll be required to sign 2 transactions, first to deposit your POKT and then to mint your wPOKT. We recommend you keep the modal open and stay in the app until both transactions have been confirmed. If you leave the app before both transactions complete, they will remain pending until you return and finish them.

Make sure to read the FAQ before attempting to bridge as many common questions are answered here.

Bridging Process

Wrapping POKT requires that you bridge your tokens from the POKT network to the Ethereum network.

Minting Process

Written Guide on wrapping $POKT

For this tutorial, we’ll use a Ledger Nano S for POKT, and MetaMask for wPOKT. Another option for POKT is NodeWallet.

1. Go to http://wpokt.network and connect your Pocket Wallet using your Ledger.

2. Then, connect your Ethereum Wallet; we’re using MetaMask.

Once connected, you should see both your POKT and wPOKT (if any) balances.

3. Time to wrap some POKT! If you’re experienced, you may feel comfortable wrapping a larger amount, but we recommend testing with a small amount.

   Input the amount of POKT you want to wrap. Click ‘Wrap’ and follow the prompt to sign and approve the transaction on your ledger.

4. Transactions (Txs) on the POKT network take up to 15 minutes to confirm, so we wait. 🧘
5. After that, the transaction enters the bridge mode, which takes another 5-10 minutes. We keep waiting. 🧘

   

Note:

If you accidentally (or purposefully) close the page, simply reconnect both wallets (using the same applications). You’ll be prompted to continue the process where you left off.

6. Your wrapped POKT (wPOKT) will be confirmed via Etherscan once the process is complete.
