Introducing wKOIN - KOIN ERC-20 on Hive-Engine

[harpagon]

Ok, so, a few days ago I started buying some KOIN on uniswap, this dapp rocks but the ETH fees, less...

I decided to create an oracle to allow people to trade the KOIN ERC-20 token on Hive-Engine. The wrapped token is called WKOIN and you can already trade it: https://hive-engine.com/?p=market&t=WKOIN

I built a small UI to easily allow one to wrap (KOIN to WKOIN) and unwrap (WKOIN to KOIN) their tokens: https://app.wkoin.buzz

Here's a quick guide on how to use it:

To use this app you will need to have Metamask and Hive-Keychain installed in your browser.

Deposit:

To deposit KOIN you'll first need to register the Ethereum address that you'll be sending the KOIN from:

• enter your Hive account in the field "@"
• enter your Ethereum address in the field "Ethereum DEPOSIT address"
• hit the button "Register / Update Address".
• this will open Metamask and ask you to sign a message. The message should show your Hive account.
• after signing with Metamask, Hive Keychain will ask you to sign and broadcast a message. This message contains your Ethereum address as well as the signature from Metamask. This is used to link your Ethereum address to your Hive account.
• wait to receive a confirmation from the @koin.app account before depositing KOIN. The confirmation is sent as a Hive transfer. It will tell you if your Ethereum address was successfully associated with your account or not
• once you get the confirmation from @koin.app, head back to https://app.wkoin.buzz
• enter you Hive account again and hit the button "Get Account Info", this should auto populate your "Ethereum DEPOSIT address"
• you can now enter the amount of KOIN you would like to deposit in the field "Amount of KOIN to deposit"
• hit the button "Deposit KOIN TO WKOIN", this will open Metamask with the pre-populated information to finalize the deposit. Double check that everything looks good and sign it.
• wait
• wait
• wait
• wait 35 confirmation to receive your deposit in WKOIN (minus 1% fee: with a minimum of 0.00000001 KOIN and a maximum of 1000 KOIN)
• you will receive the WKOIN from @koin.app once your deposit is confirmed

Withdraw:

Withdrawing WKOIN to KOIN comes with a fee but this fee is mainly because of the network fees that are tight to the Ethereum blockchain. (+ a fee to cover the conversion from Hive to ETH)

• enter your Hive account in the "@" field
• hit the "Get Account Info" button, this will auto populate your WKOIN balance
• choose the amount of WKOIN you want to withdraw/unwrap
• enter the Ethereum address where you would like to receive the KOIN tokens
• hit the button "Withdraw WKOIN to KOIN", this will open a popup and ask you to confirm the withdrawal, it will show you the fees that you'll have to pay in order to cover the network/conversion fees.
• "Confirm" and then broadcast the transaction in Hive-Keychain
• once your withdrawal has been processed you will receive a Hive transfer from @koin.app with the Ethereum transaction id in it.
• wait
• wait
• wait
• finally receive your KOIN on the Ethereum blockchain

Is this thing secured?

• it is a centralized service (the wrapping/unwrapping part). Yup, that sucks, but we don't have a better way to do it in a decentralized way on Hive

• for those who don't know me, I am behind the steem/hive-pegged process used by the Hive-Engine team. I was in charge of the @steem-peg and then the @honey-swap accounts for around 2 years, meaning that I had access to the active keys of these accounts

• all the keys used in this project (Hive and Ethereum) have been generated offline with my own program

Note: This is a personal project, it's not supported by the Hive-Engine team.

Note 2: There will be a snapshot of the WKOIN balances at the same time as the KOIN ERC-20 tokens. The KOIN tokens from the KOINOS mainnet will be airdropped to those who would have not withdrawn their WKOIN in time.

Finally someone wrapped a koin in the right direction :)
ETH to HIVE

i agree, this is great.

Though am not sure if I will trade KOIN at HIVE, but this is a SUPER addition to the KOIN ecosystem. It increases the reach and accessibility tremendously. I suspect, many HIVE users are not familar with Ethereum and Uniswap, and all the complexity around it to set it up.

I do hope, the KOINOS team will start their marketing as well; Something what is need to get the newly minted KOIN distributed to a wider audience and through that align better with the initial aims of the KOINOS team: the be as decentralised as possible.

Thanks for this addition!

Hive whales want moar tokens. No promotion and decentralization.

[edje]

You may be right; Sadly so.

I am not participating in the KOIN mining, but it is great to see this.

As @dalz said, it is a new direction, going ETH to Hive.

Looking to feed into us as opposed to all going outside.
