Dear DREPers,

With the announcement of the DREP 2.0 Upgrade Plan, as part of our upgrade journey to the future of NFT+DeFi, DREP will implement a smart contract swap beginning from 2021–03–05 to 2021–09–01 (estimated).

We will be reducing the total supply of DREP tokens from 10,000,000,000 to 100,000,000.

After swapping the legacy DREP into the upgraded DREP, the balance in all DREP holders’ addresses will be scaled in the same ratio accordingly.

The critical pointers of this token swap are as follows:

Redenomination Ratio: 100:1 (Every 100 legacy DREP equals 1 upgraded DREP)

The upgraded DREP Smart Contract Address:0x3ab6ed69ef663bd986ee59205ccad8a20f98b4c2

Swap Deadline: 1st Sept, 2021 (Block height: #13162200)

Users will not be able to swap their legacy DREP tokens after 2021–09–01.
