Frequently Asked Questions

Qubetics moved TICS from its own standalone blockchain to Ethereum as an ERC-20 token. Qubetics says the move gives TICS:

• Deeper liquidity: Access to the largest pool of on-chain activity in crypto
• Wider compatibility: Simpler exchange listings and support in standard wallets and custody services
• A mature platform: Ethereum's battle-tested smart contract ecosystem and developer community
• Room to grow: A larger user base for its core technologies - Bitcoin abstraction, the solver network and dVPN

The token itself is unchanged: the same TICS ticker and the same total supply, migrated on a 1:1 basis.

The snapshot was taken at block 6,650,277 at around 12:00 UTC on 14 September 2026. That block was the final state of the old network, and the balances recorded there are what can be claimed as ERC-20 TICS on Ethereum.

Claims opened through the official portal at qubetics.com/migration at 17:00 UTC the same day.

Yes. The snapshot covered:

• Liquid TICS
• Staked TICS
• TICS in the unbonding period
• Unclaimed rewards

If your TICS were staked or unstaking when the snapshot was taken, the full amount is claimable on Ethereum.

1. Open the same wallet: Use the wallet that held your TICS in an Ethereum wallet such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet. If your TICS were in the Qubetics Wallet app, import that same wallet using its recovery phrase or private key. The address must be exactly the same.
2. Add ETH for gas: Send a small amount of ETH on Ethereum mainnet to that address to pay the claim fee.
3. Connect to the official portal: Switch your wallet to Ethereum Mainnet and connect at qubetics.com/migration.
4. Claim: Check the claimable amount and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
5. Add the token: If the balance does not appear, add TICS using the official contract address (see below).

Important: Do not use a smart contract wallet for the claim. Qubetics has said smart contract wallets are not eligible.

MEXC and LBank: No action was needed. Both exchanges migrated eligible balances to ERC-20 TICS automatically on a 1:1 basis.

Coinstore: Native TICS was delisted, and holders were told to withdraw before the snapshot.

For questions about an exchange account, contact that exchange's support team directly.

TICS ERC-20 on Ethereum mainnet:

0x551ecFDBa071cB6541f642cB90a073c8c158Df05

• Symbol: TICS
• Decimals: 18
• Network: Ethereum mainnet

You can view it on Etherscan. Always check the address character by character before adding the token or sending funds. Scammers deploy fake tokens with the same name and symbol.

• Only use the official portal at qubetics.com/migration
• Nobody from Qubetics or JBs LFG STRONGHOLD will ever ask for your recovery phrase or private key
• Nobody can migrate tokens on your behalf, so ignore anyone offering to do it for you
• Verify the contract address before adding TICS to your wallet
• Ignore unsolicited direct messages about the migration

TICS is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum mainnet:

• Decimals: 18
• Total supply: 1.36 billion, unchanged by the migration
• Fees: Transfers pay gas in ETH, like any other ERC-20 token
• Compatibility: Works with standard Ethereum wallets and applications

TICS trades on MEXC and LBank under the TICS/USDT pair.

Yes. Your TICS are held at the same 0x address as before, and the same recovery phrase controls that address on Ethereum. You do not need to create a new wallet.

Any wallet that supports Ethereum and custom ERC-20 tokens will work, including:

• MetaMask: Browser extension and mobile app
• Trust Wallet: Mobile app and browser extension
• Rabby: Browser extension and mobile app
• Hardware wallets: Ledger and Trezor, used through MetaMask or Rabby

For the migration claim, use a standard wallet, not a smart contract wallet.

1. Make sure Ethereum Mainnet is selected in your wallet
2. Choose the option to import a token (sometimes called a custom token)
3. Paste the contract address 0x551ecFDBa071cB6541f642cB90a073c8c158Df05
4. Check that the symbol shows as TICS with 18 decimals, then confirm

If the symbol or decimals show anything else, stop and check the address again.

Yes. Every transaction on Ethereum, including the migration claim and any TICS transfer, pays its network fee in ETH. Keep a small amount of ETH in the same wallet as your TICS.

You do not need ETH just to hold TICS or to receive it.

The Portfolio page lets you add one or more wallet addresses and shows:

• Your total TICS on Ethereum
• Its current USD value
• Profit or loss against your average buy price and a target price
• A breakdown for each wallet

It only reads public balances, so there is no wallet connection and nothing to sign.

Tax treatment varies by country.

Common tax implications:

• Capital gains: Selling, swapping or spending crypto can trigger capital gains tax in many places
• Income: Rewards received in the past may have counted as income when received
• Record keeping: Keep records of what you bought, received and sold, with dates and values

The Portfolio page includes a tax report tool that exports your wallet's recorded history as a CSV with historical prices.

Disclaimer: Consult a tax professional who understands crypto for advice on your situation.

Qubetics has said its focus after the migration is expanding the ecosystem on Ethereum. Its stated plans include:

• Bitcoin Abstraction Protocol on Ethereum: Connecting Bitcoin liquidity with Ethereum DeFi
• Solver network and dVPN: Both being aligned with Ethereum
• DAO governance proposal: To follow once token metrics stabilise
• Post-migration roadmap: To be shared with the community

Official updates are published on the Qubetics blog.

The Chain Abstraction Protocol, also called the Bitcoin Abstraction Protocol, is Qubetics' technology for moving value between Bitcoin and other chains without the user handling bridges or wrapped tokens themselves.

It is designed around two parts:

• MPC nodes: A network of nodes that jointly hold threshold keys, so no single party controls the Bitcoin
• Solvers: Operators that supply liquidity to complete swaps

On Ethereum, the stated goal is to connect Bitcoin liquidity to DeFi applications such as lending protocols, decentralised exchanges and liquidity pools, expanding TICS utility. CAP is not yet live on Ethereum.

This is our own assessment, not an official Qubetics statement.

• Ethereum smart contracts: New contracts for deposits, intents and settlement, plus a way to represent or settle Bitcoin on Ethereum, all independently audited
• A live MPC signer network: Nodes that jointly control Bitcoin funds with threshold signatures, spread widely enough that no small group can move funds
• Solvers with liquidity: Operators holding BTC, ETH and TICS, with incentives that justify their capital
• On-chain TICS liquidity: Deep TICS liquidity on Ethereum itself, not only on centralised exchanges
• Everyday wallet support: Working with MetaMask and other standard Ethereum wallets
• A plan for gas costs: Ethereum mainnet fees are high for small swaps, so Layer 2 networks may play a part
• Transparency: Published contract addresses and audit reports so users can verify what is live

Until those pieces are publicly deployed and verifiable, treat any claim that CAP is live on Ethereum with caution.

Qubetics has said both are being aligned with Ethereum, and that dVPN is expected to benefit from Ethereum's large user base and broad wallet support.

No public launch dates have been announced. We will cover them on the blog when there is verifiable news.

The migration did not change the total supply, the TICS ticker or the 1:1 ratio.

Qubetics has said that once key token metrics stabilise, a DAO governance proposal will let the community decide what happens to network operations and ecosystem tokens, including whether a portion is:

• Burned, or
• Allocated to the Qubetics Foundation for ecosystem development

Details of that proposal have not yet been published.

That depends on your circumstances and risk tolerance, and nothing on this page is financial advice.

In its favour:

• A standard ERC-20 token with wide wallet and exchange compatibility
• Trading on MEXC and LBank
• A stated roadmap that includes CAP on Ethereum

Risks to consider:

• CAP and the other roadmap items are not yet live on Ethereum
• The DAO proposal on ecosystem tokens is still to come
• Liquidity is limited compared with larger tokens
• Crypto prices are volatile

Important: Research thoroughly and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

JBs LFG STRONGHOLD is a community hub for TICS holders at jblfg.dev, offering:

• Portfolio tracking and tax reports
• Market data and tools
• News and guides on the blog
• An active Telegram community

It began in 2025 as a validator and, since the migration to Ethereum ended staking, has refocused entirely on serving TICS holders. It is built and run independently by JB.

No. Staking ended with the migration, and ERC-20 TICS has no native staking.

• The staking dashboard, staking guides, validator directory and staking calculator have been retired
• The auto-compound service has ended, and enrolled wallets do not need to do anything

Be wary of anyone offering TICS staking or guaranteed returns that Qubetics has not officially announced.

The best way to get support is through the JBs LFG STRONGHOLD Telegram community at t.me/+oj6aJfCUvhI3Y2U0 where you can:

• Ask questions directly
• Get help with wallets, claiming and the Portfolio page
• Connect with other TICS holders
• Receive updates and announcements

Updates and guides are also published on the blog.

TICS is available on MEXC and LBank. To purchase:

1. Create an account at your chosen exchange (MEXC.com or LBank.com)
2. Complete any verification the exchange requires
3. Deposit funds via card, bank transfer or crypto deposit
4. Navigate to the TICS/USDT spot trading pair
5. Place a buy order for TICS
6. Withdraw to your own wallet, such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet

Important: When withdrawing, select the Ethereum (ERC-20) network and paste your 0x address. Once it arrives, check that the token in your wallet matches the official contract address 0x551ecFDBa071cB6541f642cB90a073c8c158Df05.
