How to Withdraw ICO Waves

Waves ICO Price: 1 Waves = 0.00036867;  1 BTC = 2712 Waves without bonuses (bounties/5-20% discounts)

Question: How do I claim / withdraw my ICO Waves?

With the end of the ICO and the launch of the alpha mainnet, it's time to proceed with the withdrawal of your coins. Here are three easy steps to easily claim your Waves' ICO tokens:

(1) Download the official Waves Lite Client

(2) Generate a personal address, here's an example: 1W3N4x9smw1e7PZiYhTMs94FQBf1QsjphoYio

(3) Login and enter your address on the ICO site to confirm. The Waves team will start processing withdrawals over the weekend (11-12th June), and hopes that by next week most people will have their coins withdrawn so that full node development and launch at exchanges can be focussed.


Important Note: The most important information is the wallet seed. Save it somewhere safe -- you can also write it down on a piece of paper. With the seed you can always import your account again. This seed will get AES encrypted with a password you insert and you can unlock it to access your account on login. Every transaction will get signed locally with JavaScript and transmitted to the node without revealing your wallet seed or private keys.


That's it -- enjoy!  Waves explicitly targets mass market adoption and ease of use.
