UPDATE as of June 26, 2023: The bridging period is now officially over. The Permission team would like to thank the community for their cooperation and support during this process. The bridge opened in May, 2022 and officially closed, as scheduled, on June 25, 2023. Users are no longer able to bridge their Permission Network Balance.
Please note that users with a Pending ASK balance can maintain their ASK in Pending. When withdrawn, it will be transferred via the Polygon blockchain and, as such, will automatically be withdrawn as Polygon ASK.
UPDATE as of April 24, 2023: Permission users and ASK holders who have not yet used the ASK Bridge to migrate their tokens to the Polygon network are encouraged to do so before June 25, 2023. After such date, no exchanges will be supporting the legacy ASK token on the Permission blockchain. Only the ASK token on the Polygon blockchain will continue to be supported by exchanges. Additionally, as the Permission Platform now runs entirely on Polygon, only the withdrawal of ASK tokens on the Polygon chain will be supported, and legacy ASK token balances will not be visible in the wallet page in your Permission account.
Please ensure your ASK is bridged to Polygon ahead of June 25, 2023.
The ASK Bridge to the Polygon network is now live and available to use.
As previously announced, Permission is migrating ASK from the legacy Permission Network to the Polygon Network. An ASK Bridge has launched today for individuals to port their ASK tokens over.
Please note, we currently recommend to using the bridge on a desktop instead of mobile device.
For those unfamiliar with Polygon, here is a useful explainer video on the Polygon Network. Permission is thrilled to be migrating to Polygon, as we strongly believe the move will accelerate our goal of empowering users worldwide to own and monetize their data. For those that hold ASK, we believe that this migration will allow us to expand the use cases for ASK by enabling interoperability with the Polygon and Ethereum ecosystems.
Overview
As an ASK holder, you are invited to transfer your ASK over to the Polygon Network so that you may continue to enjoy all of the benefits of the Permission Platform once the migration is complete. The transfer involves a swap between the legacy ASK token and ASK on Polygon at a 1:1 ratio.
To get started, simply navigate to the ASK Bridge and follow the prompts. We have also created a video guide and a set of instructions to walk you through the process.
To be clear, if your Wallet Balance is empty, then there is no need to migrate. ASK can safely stay in pending and will be able to be withdrawn directly onto the Polygon Network after the migration. Only if you currently have ASK in your Wallet Balance does Permission suggest that you migrate it over to the Polygon Network. We cannot migrate your ASK for you, so you must do it yourself.
Migration Details
Timeline
The Permission team is happy to share that the migration to Polygon has progressed smoothly. Since the migration period commenced in May, 2022, nearly all ASK holders have successfully migrated their tokens from the Permission blockchain to the Polygon network using the ASK Bridge.
Permission users and ASK holders who have not yet used the ASK Bridge to migrate their tokens to the Polygon network are encouraged to do so before June 10, 2023. After such date, no exchanges will be supporting the legacy ASK token on the Permission blockchain. Only the ASK token on the Polygon blockchain will continue to be supported by exchanges. Additionally, as the Permission Platform now runs entirely on Polygon, only the withdrawal of ASK tokens on the Polygon chain will be supported.
Exchanges
Naturally, we are aware that this migration to Polygon will affect the exchanges on which ASK is currently trading. Please note the below information is provided solely as a means of anticipating inquiries related to how the migration will impact ASK trading on various exchanges, and not as a solicitation or encouragement of exchange trading in any way:
If you hold ASK on these exchanges:
Bitrue
Gate.io
No action is needed on your part as they will migrate your ASK for you. Simply understand that when you withdraw your ASK from the exchange, you will automatically be withdrawing the Polygon version. Additionally, trading may be down for up to a week while they update the listing.
If you hold ASK on these exchanges:
Vitex
BitGlobal
At this time, these exchanges will not be supporting the Polygon ASK token. If you wish to migrate your ASK to Polygon, your ASK will need to be withdrawn to your Permission wallet or MetaMask and then use the ASK Bridge.
Getting Started With ASK On Polygon
Once you have migrated, your ASK can be used throughout the entire Polygon and Ethereum ecosystems! If you have never explored the depths of the wide world of crypto before and are wondering where to start, we have some info you may find interesting.
For starters, we have a blog on What Polygon Is & How To Use It. Next, you may find it helpful to watch this MetaMask tutorial if you aren’t already familiar with how it works.
