How to Convert CUB/pCUB to LEO

in LeoFinance9 months ago (edited)

Okay frens, we decided to revamp the way we are allowing conversion from CUB/pCUB to LEO. ICYMI: we ran the first-ever stake weighted poll (AKA LEO DAO Vote) on INLEO last week.

This poll was to determine the future of sunsetting CUB/pCUB as platforms. Allowing users to convert their CUB/pCUB to LEO via a one-time only airdrop.

The vote was passed nearly unanimously with 6,045,402 LEO POWER approving and only 27,289 LEO POWER not approving.

In our last blog post we gave all of the details on the conversion event and how to do it.

It seems that most people are having trouble with the hex data method of conversion. So we're deciding to scrap this conversion method and change it.

We'll now be doing it via an unwrap of bLEO. You can unwrap as little as 1 LEO in order to link your Hive wallet to your BSC Address.

Why Do We Need to Do This?

I saw some people ask why they cannot simply burn their CUB or pCUB. We need to be able to link your Hive wallet address to your BSC Address.

This requires an on-chain transaction that originates from your BSC wallet. Otherwise, anyone could pretend to be you and claim your burn transaction for their own transaction and thus, get your airdrop.

How to Follow the New Process

We're going to make this crystal clear, easy to follow and concise. So this blog post will not be doing a whole lot of explaining but simply will walk you through the actual steps of doing this.

Step 1). Unwrap 1 bLEO (or 1 pLEO)

Step 1 is to unwrap 1 bLEO to LEO. If you don't have any bLEO, you'll need to get some. You can do so by either:

  1. Wrapping at least 3-5 LEO to bLEO, then unwrapping it
  2. Buying some bLEO on Pancakeswap, then unwrapping it

Again, you only need to do 1 bLEO or more (1 bLEO is the minimum that will convert. Less than this will result in a failed TX). This step is critical as it links your hive wallet address to your BSC address on our backend.

Keep in mind that the minimum WRAP from LEO to bLEO is 3 LEO. So do at least this amount if you are wrapping with the intent to then unwrap afterwards.

You can use the https://wleo.io/leo-bsc interface to conduct your unwrap TX. Ensure that you unwrap to the wallet address where you want to receive your LEO airdrop.

This process is identical if you're unwrapping pLEO. Use https://wleo.io/leo-polygon to unwrap.

Step 2). Burn CUB or POLYCUB

Simply send CUB or POLYCUB to the Null address on BSC or Polygon.

The null address is: 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dead

Please send all of your CUB or pCUB in ONE SINGLE transaction. This will save you time and it will save us time.

So if you have multiple wallet addresses, multiple pool positions, etc. we recommend that you unstake everything, get the liquid CUB in your wallet and then send it all at one time.

Step 3). Fill Out the Form

We decided to add a form to this process just to make life easier for you and for us. Since the release of the blog post outlining the airdrop, we've been getting 25+ tickets per day of people with issues or complaints. The form can be accessed at https://forms.gle/WL8WPDEMYSwv7xXw8. You don't need to enter an email address to fill it out. Simply fill out the questions it asks and hit submit.

Please fill out the form and do so accurately. This will save us all from heavy ticket load and the airdrop taking longer than it needs to.

In order to receive the airdrop YOU MUST fill out the form accurately. This is a requirement.

The form only asks 5 simple questions and asks you to provide on-chain TX Links to the first two steps listed above. It takes less than 5 minutes to do everything described in this post.

Do so carefully and double check your work. Failing to follow these steps could lead to a loss of funds / no airdrop.

Q&A

What If I Already Burned My CUB/pCUB Using the Old Conversion Method?

I saw that only about 7 people were able to successfully follow the hex data method. And of those 7, none of them were actually successful. There was a piece missing in the memo, so none of those TXs worked.

If you are one of the 7 people who sent that TX, please follow the steps listed in this post. Obviously, you already burned your CUB/pCUB so all you need to do is copy the Bscscan (or polygonscan) TX link and then paste it into the form after you follow the bLEO or pLEO unwrap step.

What if I can't get bLEO or pLEO?

It's very easy to get either of these two tokens. As stated in the post, you can either buy them or pancakeswap or sushiswap (bLEO or pLEO respectively) or wrap LEO you already have to BSC or Polygon and then just unwrap it.

Wrapping LEO you already have and then unwrapping it is the easiest method. Just be mindful of fees. So you need to unwrap 1 bLEO or pLEO in the end, I would recommend wrapping 3-5 LEO just to have a safe buffer.

What If I Can't follow these steps for some other reason?

Open a support ticket in Discord but please use this as your last resort. As stated in the post, we are being swamped by tech support right now because of this conversion event.

If you do open a ticket, you may need to wait a few days for a reply. We're working through tickets as fast as humanely possible.

If possible, try also getting help from the community. We have this amazing platform with INLEO on Hive. Post a thread and ask for help and lions in the community will gladly help you.

Onwards

We've got a huge week this week with LeoDex launching as a Multi-Chain DEX Aggregator which will allow you to swap LEO, HIVE and HBD to/from any L1 asset (BTC, ETH, USDT, etc.).

This is huge for our community and huge for the LEO token. The time to convert is NOW. There is a reason all of this has come together at the same moment.

Get ready for a massive week on LEO.

Trying to unwrap.

Friend trying to unwrap a large amount of bLeo having same issue. I tried maxing the transaction fee, same result. Won't even get to chain. What did I do wrong this time? Seems everyone I spoke with is having this same problem.

Update 03/29/24

Was able to do it on both chains today.

use XDEFI, works fine

Yeah someone mentioned this one to me as well. If it doesn't support MetaMask, it doesn't work. But seeing as I have nother in this wallet, I'll just probably try that. It's not like it is worth anything now anyway.

I am at step 1. I need to wrap LEO into bLEO. How do I do this? Please remember the number one rule of technical writing: Assume your reader knows nothing. I know nothing.

At the bridge here https://wleo.io/leo-bsc I see one side of that asks for a BNB address

I assume I use this for wrapping? What address do I put in there? The BSC address from my metamask wallet?

Please give more details on this process. I imagine half the support tickets you are getting are because what you write in this post is confusing and doesn't go into enough detail.

Use the address of your BSC account. You can copy and paste from you wallet.

Thank you

Relevant Token Addresses In Case You Need Them:

  • bLEO: 0x6421531af54c7b14ea805719035ebf1e3661c44a
  • pLEO: 0xf826a91e8de52bc1baf40d88203e572dc2551aa3
  • CUB: 0x50d809c74e0b8e49e7b4c65bb3109abe3ff4c1c1
  • POLYCUB: 0x7cc15fef543f205bf21018f038f591c6bada941c

can I use the pLEO address to send the pLEO I have in my Metamask wallet?

This is totally useless for people who are not familiar with wrapping, sending, burning, staking etc.

So much of the basics are taken for granted. It's taken me over an hour just to find where my CUB is, for example. It's been so long since I did anything with it. And now I'm there it says my CUB is staked. I have no idea how to unstake or if I even need to.

As @dbooster said above "Assume your reader knows nothing".

My CUB is worth <$6 although I have >1,682. I can't remember if I have polycub or not. Probably best to just write it off at this point.

You got onto the platform and used DeFi

This is crypto, most other platforms wouldn't hand hold or even write a guide in the slightest.

We've written guides and recorded videos of all this stuff. We also have a tech support system in discord

Getting frustrated with us isn't going to be a good way to accomplish anything. I get that a lot of people here don't have experience with crypto but it seems most don't even want to spend the basic patience for 15 mins of research to properly figure this stuff out and follow guides.

We're doing our best, but can't make hundreds of people happy simultaneously

If your cub is in a locked up period???

Same issue here. Can't work out how to unlock it.

I worked it out, First you need to convert the lock up to Flexible and then unlock it.

I am not sure if this has been answered previously but I have vexPolycub locked (100+ days or so to be unlocked), how would I go about it? Thanks.

Edit: Please ignore the question. Found the answer here. Thanks!

failed 5 times attempting to wrap to bleo, then when it finally was "successful" via keychain, I get this message a few seconds later and it ate the token.

Possible it's just an HE node issue. They are all failing at API requests this moment. If it fails, try again later

Nothing else is failing, and after 5 attempts it was "successful", successfuly enough I got a token transfer from b-leo from FRIDAY, so your b-leo bot knows about it.

I looked into it further and found that you only wrapped 1 LEO while the instructions in the post clearly say to wrap at least 3-5 LEO

1 LEO wrap is below min threshhold

image.png

This is from your post.

Does that say wrap or unwrap?

You're trying to wrap LEO - I believe that says unwrap

You need 1 bLEO to unwrap successfully.

Read the Q&A at the bottom of the post and you'll see it says to make sure you have at least 1 bLEO, you'll need to wrap a minimum of 3-5 LEO

Most people are going to follow the posts step by step and try to do it as directed. If you do so, it clearly says you just need to use 1 LEO. Maybe put that up where people are actually are reading the steps.

This clearly has a different point of view.

Just to clarify: Wen my bag of $CUB is worth $1 then i get $1 worth of $LEO, right?!

are we exchanging the price in Leo or 1 to 1 cub for leo. I want to make sure it's worth it. My cub seems to be only worth about $1.70 now. Any thoughts will be helpful.

It's being exchanged dollar for dollar so....$10 worth of CUB will get you $10 worth of LEO. BUT, they did the price snapshot before this all happened so using current market prices will be incorrect.

That was my question too. I went to read the announcement post and it says $1 is to $1. (So it's not 1 CUB or PCUB = 1 LEO)

If you got 10 USD in CUB and 1 LEO is for 0.1 USD when snapshot happend, you will get 100 LEO. Simple as that.

Yes. Initially, I thought it was 1 CUB to 1 LEO until I read the post.

I do not know when they do the snapshot, but 0.115 USD per 1 LEO seems to me a lot - maybe they do the snapshot on purpose when the price was the highest? Because $0.115 per LEO was about 1 day or so. Since then, it has always been below 0.1 USD.

Happy Birthday to the Hive Blockchain

For some reason unwrapping pleo is failing constantly. Also do I need to fill 2 forms if I have both polycub and cub or can I do the same form?

The instruction is for the transaction to be mad once.

What happens if I have PolyCUB and VexPolyCUB?

That would be two transactions I guess?

I think I managed.

I'm pretty sure I am one of the few with locked vexpoly. It's been so long I am a bit confused as to where to start! I have access to my Metamask account but the rest is pretty confusing at the moment! And, time is running out... Please help??
