Qubetics TICS Migration to Ethereum: Dates & Claims

By Qbitics Editorial

Qubetics migrated its TICS token from the original Qubetics Layer-1 blockchain to Ethereum as an ERC-20 token in September 2026. The migration used a 1:1 conversion ratio, meaning that one eligible native TICS corresponded to one ERC-20 TICS.

The project scheduled its balance snapshot for 14 September 2026 at block 6,650,277, with the self-custody claim process opening on 15 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC.

However, not every holder followed the same migration process.

People holding TICS in supported exchange accounts were treated differently from users holding tokens in self-custody wallets. Delegated or staked tokens, smart-contract wallets and unsupported exchanges introduced additional eligibility restrictions.

The project also made major changes after announcing the migration. Its 6 October 2026 update confirmed that previously eligible holders could continue claiming their allocated tokens, but that the original eligibility process was not being reopened.

This guide explains how the Qubetics TICS migration worked, the relevant dates, snapshot rules, 1:1 conversion, exchange procedures, wallet requirements and common claim problems.

It also distinguishes the project's earlier Ethereum contract announcement from its later published contract information.

Last verified: 11 October 2026. This is an independent informational guide, not an official Qubetics migration service or financial recommendation.

Qubetics TICS Migration: Key Facts

Primary sources: Qubetics migration page, 13 September migration guide and 6 October project update.

The snapshot time was initially given as an estimate. The block number is the precise eligibility reference published by the project.

Why Did Qubetics Migrate TICS to Ethereum?

Qubetics originally positioned TICS as the native token of its own blockchain, built around a Cosmos-based infrastructure.

The original project proposed a broader ecosystem involving Layer-1 blockchain infrastructure, interoperability, chain abstraction and a decentralised VPN.

In August 2026, Qubetics announced that it intended to move TICS to Ethereum.

The project described Ethereum's existing token infrastructure, wallet compatibility and ecosystem integrations as reasons for the change.

An ERC-20 token can operate within Ethereum's established smart-contract ecosystem without requiring users to interact with a separate Qubetics-native blockchain for ordinary token transfers.

Was the Migration an Ethereum Upgrade or a New Blockchain Launch?

It was a change in the token's underlying network.

Before the migration, TICS existed as a native asset on Qubetics' own chain.

After the migration, TICS was represented as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum.

This is different from launching another independent blockchain.

It is also different from a routine wallet software update.

Did Qubetics Continue Its Original Technical Roadmap?

Not in the manner originally proposed.

On 6 October 2026, Qubetics announced that it was no longer commissioning continued development of its previously planned Layer-1 blockchain, chain-abstraction protocol or dVPN.

The project said it intended to preserve and publish relevant existing code, while reassessing its remaining controlled token allocations.

That announcement supersedes parts of the technical direction described in August.

Therefore, the migration should not be presented as proof that every feature from the original roadmap will be delivered.

Qubetics TICS Migration Timeline

Understanding the chronology helps explain why older articles, wallet instructions and token addresses may differ.

What Happened on 14 September 2026?

The Qubetics migration process relied on a blockchain snapshot.

A snapshot is a record of specified balances and account states at a particular blockchain point.

For the TICS migration, Qubetics selected block 6,650,277.

The project's migration guide estimated that the network would reach that block at approximately 12:00 UTC on 14 September 2026.

The block number matters because a blockchain can reach a particular block somewhat earlier or later than an estimated time.

Eligibility was therefore tied to the published snapshot conditions, not simply to any balance a wallet displayed later.

What Happened on 15 September 2026?

The project announced that ERC-20 claims would begin at 12:00 UTC on 15 September 2026.

Eligible self-custody holders were instructed to use the wallet address associated with their recorded native TICS balance.

A claim transaction on Ethereum could then deliver the corresponding ERC-20 allocation.

The existence of a claim portal did not mean that every wallet was automatically entitled to tokens.

How Did the 1:1 TICS Migration Work?

The migration was announced using a one-to-one conversion ratio.

That means each eligible native TICS unit was intended to correspond to one ERC-20 TICS unit.

Example Conversion Table

These are illustrative calculations, assuming every unit qualified under the official snapshot and wallet rules.

A 1:1 conversion describes the number of token units, not the market value of those units.

Did a 1:1 Migration Guarantee the Same Price?

No.

A holder receiving 1,000 ERC-20 TICS in place of 1,000 eligible native TICS would receive the same numerical quantity.

That does not guarantee that the market price, liquidity, exchange support or purchasing power remained unchanged.

Token prices are influenced by trading conditions and other risks.

Did the Migration Increase the TICS Supply?

Qubetics described the original migration as preserving supply through the 1:1 conversion.

However, a later event changed the supply.

In its 6 October update, Qubetics announced that it had burned 68,093,398.2 TICS from the allocation originally assigned to the team.

The project reported:

The token burn was a separate event after the migration.

It should not be used to claim that the original migration itself occurred at a ratio other than 1:1.

Who Was Eligible for the Qubetics Migration?

Eligibility depended on the location and status of the native TICS holdings at the snapshot.

Three categories are especially important:

1. Self-custody wallets eligible for the portal-based claim.
2. Accounts on exchanges supporting automatic migration.
3. Holdings requiring additional action before the snapshot.

Self-Custody Wallet Eligibility

The official migration portal instructed users to hold eligible native TICS in a non-custodial wallet capable of using the corresponding Ethereum address.

Examples mentioned by Qubetics included MetaMask and Trust Wallet.

The wallet was required to meet the project's address and claim conditions.

The portal also specified that smart-contract wallets were not eligible for its claim process.

Why Did the Original Wallet Address Matter?

The project's claim system used the wallet address associated with the snapshot.

Users were instructed to connect that same address on Ethereum when claiming their allocation.

This approach links the recorded native-chain balance to the corresponding Ethereum claim destination under the project's migration design.

Using a new wallet address generally would not make it the owner of the previous snapshot allocation.

Did Holding TICS After the Snapshot Create Eligibility?

Not by itself.

The project used the recorded snapshot state to determine eligibility.

Buying, transferring or receiving native TICS after that snapshot would not automatically make those later holdings eligible under the original migration.

The October announcement explicitly stated that keeping the claim portal available did not reopen the earlier eligibility process.

Qubetics Migration: MetaMask and Trust Wallet

Self-custody holders were instructed to use the same qualifying address when claiming their ERC-20 TICS.

The Official Claim Process

According to the official migration portal, the basic process was:

1. Access the official migration page through the genuine Qubetics website.
2. Use the wallet corresponding to the eligible snapshot address.
3. Switch the wallet to Ethereum Mainnet.
4. Ensure sufficient ETH is available to pay the transaction's network fee.
5. Connect the eligible wallet and check its recorded claim allocation.
6. Review the claim transaction in the wallet.
7. Submit it only after verifying the destination, contract interaction and permissions.
8. Check the confirmed Ethereum transaction and token balance.

The portal states that users may need ETH for gas because their former native-chain wallet could initially have no ETH on Ethereum.

Do You Need a New Ethereum Wallet?

Not necessarily.

The migration process was designed around the same eligible wallet address being used on Ethereum.

However, the exact compatibility depends on the wallet implementation and how the original native-chain address was managed.

The official portal instructs users to connect the corresponding eligible address, rather than simply choosing any new Ethereum wallet.

Can You Claim to Another Address?

The official Qubetics migration FAQ says no.

The eligible allocation must be claimed using the address linked to the snapshot.

After a successful claim, a holder may transfer ERC-20 TICS to another compatible address, subject to normal network fees and transfer restrictions.

Do You Need to Enter Your Recovery Phrase?

No legitimate token-import or standard wallet-connection procedure should require entering your recovery phrase into a website.

Never share your seed phrase or private key.

If an alleged migration support representative asks for it, treat the request as a serious warning sign.

For detailed wallet-import instructions, see our planned guide to adding TICS to MetaMask.

What If Your TICS Was Staked or Delegated?

This was an important migration-specific requirement.

The official Qubetics portal stated that delegated tokens needed to be unbonded before the snapshot.

Therefore, the location and status of the tokens before block 6,650,277 mattered.

Does Unstaking TICS Now Fix September Eligibility?

Not necessarily.

The original snapshot took place in September 2026.

The project's October clarification says that new migration eligibility is not being created.

If tokens were still delegated or otherwise ineligible at the relevant snapshot point, unstaking them later cannot be assumed to alter the historic allocation.

What Should a Holder Check?

Check the project's published eligibility rules and the recorded balance or claim status for the relevant address.

If the displayed allocation seems wrong, use only official support channels to seek clarification.

Do not pay an unknown third party who promises to change the snapshot record.

MEXC, LBank and Coinstore: Exchange Migration Differences

Not all exchange holders needed to use the self-custody claim portal.

Qubetics' published guidance identified different procedures for different exchanges.

Exchange Migration Comparison

Source: Official Qubetics migration announcements and migration FAQ.

MEXC Holders

Qubetics identified MEXC as an exchange supporting automatic migration.

This meant eligible balances held in the exchange's supported custody arrangement were expected to convert without an individual on-chain wallet claim.

However, users should not assume that deposit, withdrawal or trading services are currently available on every network simply because the migration was supported in September.

Check MEXC's present token and network notices before transferring assets.

LBank Holders

LBank was also identified as supporting automatic migration.

The same distinction applies: the exchange's custody process is not identical to a self-custody claim.

Users should verify their account balances and currently supported transfer networks within LBank's official platform.

Coinstore Holders

Qubetics instructed Coinstore holders to transfer tokens before the snapshot to a non-custodial wallet or another supported exchange.

That deadline has passed.

A user who did not follow the relevant requirements should not assume that transferring tokens now will produce a new migration allocation.

Any remaining account issue requires current confirmation from the relevant exchange and project, without assuming recovery is possible.

Do You Need to Claim Again if an Exchange Migrated Your Tokens?

Not normally for a balance already migrated automatically through a supported exchange.

However, a user should verify the exchange's recorded holdings and any subsequent token movements before concluding that a balance is missing.

Do not submit claims through unrelated websites simply because you also held TICS on an exchange.

Why Are There Two Officially Published Ethereum Addresses?

Readers researching the Qubetics migration may notice that different official announcements contain different Ethereum contract addresses.

Earlier Announced Address — August 2026

The project's 28 August migration announcement listed:

0xE1Fc134224189a8f2840b6D115f12400cB4e8208

This is a historical contract reference from the initial announcement.

Later Published Address — Migration Portal

The project's official migration portal and tokenomics pages identify:

0x551ecFDBa071cB6541f642cB90a073c8c158Df05

The addresses are different.

This guide cannot establish, from those announcements alone, the complete on-chain reason for the change. It would be inappropriate to invent an explanation such as a confirmed contract exploit, redevelopment or security incident.

Which Address Should Readers Verify?

For current contract identification, start with the latest official project information and independently inspect the corresponding Ethereum explorer record.

Our dedicated guide to the Qubetics TICS contract address covers the competing addresses in detail.

Do not send assets to either token contract address simply because it appears in an article. A contract address is not necessarily a deposit address.

Why Did the Old Qubetics Mainnet Instructions Stop Being Relevant?

Before the migration, Qubetics published instructions for interacting with its original blockchain.

These included a custom network name, Chain ID, RPC endpoint and native token.

After TICS moved to Ethereum as an ERC-20 asset, the basic token environment changed.

Old Network vs Ethereum

Older wallet setup guides may still appear in search results.

A reader should not assume that adding the historical Qubetics RPC to MetaMask is the correct way to see an Ethereum TICS balance.

For new ERC-20 token display, the relevant network is Ethereum.

Can You Still Claim TICS After September 2026?

According to Qubetics' 6 October 2026 statement, eligible holders can still claim ERC-20 tokens already allocated to them.

The project stated that there was no currently planned deadline for those existing claims.

However, this does not reopen the migration.

Existing Claims vs New Eligibility

This distinction is especially important for readers who see an active claim button and assume the migration remains open to new holders.

Is There a Claim Deadline?

As of the 6 October statement, Qubetics had not announced a planned deadline for eligible claims.

That is not a promise that the interface, technical arrangements or project policies can never change.

Check current official information before submitting a transaction.

Qubetics Claim Troubleshooting

Migration claims can fail or appear unavailable for several reasons.

Not every error means tokens are lost.

Problem 1: My Wallet Shows Zero Claimable TICS

Possible reasons include:

• The connected address differs from the eligible snapshot address.
• The balance was held on a supported exchange instead of the connected self-custody wallet.
• The snapshot eligibility conditions were not met.
• Tokens were delegated or otherwise restricted at the relevant time.
• The allocation was already claimed.
• The claim interface is temporarily unable to retrieve the data.

What to check: Confirm the connected address, snapshot history, previous claims and any official eligibility result.

Do not infer the cause from a zero display alone.

Problem 2: My Native TICS Doesn't Appear on Ethereum

Native-chain tokens do not automatically become visible ERC-20 balances merely because a wallet is switched to Ethereum.

The holder may need to complete an eligible claim or receive an exchange-converted balance.

Only after tokens are present on Ethereum can importing the correct ERC-20 contract help the wallet display them.

Problem 3: I Connected MetaMask but Cannot Submit a Claim

Check that:

• The correct Ethereum account is selected.
• Ethereum Mainnet is active.
• The wallet corresponds to the eligible snapshot address.
• Sufficient ETH is available for transaction gas.
• The claim is actually available and hasn't already been completed.

A claim interface showing an error should not prompt you to connect through an unsolicited recovery link.

Problem 4: My Claim Transaction Failed

Look up the transaction hash on Etherscan.

Check whether it failed, remained pending or was confirmed.

A failed transaction can still consume Ethereum gas.

Avoid repeatedly paying fees without understanding the error.

Problem 5: My Exchange Doesn't Show the Expected Balance

First check the exchange's historical migration announcement, account records and current deposit/withdrawal status.

Exchange custody differs from self-custody, so an individual's external wallet may not show an exchange-held allocation.

Contact the exchange through its official support system if account records remain inconsistent.

How to Check Whether a Claim Was Successful

A completed claim should have verifiable Ethereum transaction activity.

You can inspect the relevant wallet and transaction using an Ethereum block explorer.

Verification Checklist

1. Confirm that the transaction was submitted on Ethereum Mainnet.
2. Locate the transaction hash.
3. Verify that the transaction status is successful.
4. Inspect relevant ERC-20 token transfer events.
5. Confirm that the token address matches the current official contract.
6. Compare the received allocation with the claim amount reported by the official portal.

A transaction being marked successful does not prove that an unrelated token was legitimate.

You still need to verify the correct contract and network.

Why Might MetaMask Still Show No TICS?

Some wallets don't automatically display every ERC-20 token.

If the token transfer is confirmed on the correct contract, the wallet may need the token imported for display.

Importing a token changes the interface; it does not mint or recover missing funds.

Main Security Risks During the TICS Migration

Cryptocurrency migrations can attract phishing campaigns because holders expect to connect wallets and sign transactions.

Fake Claim Portals

A fraudulent page may imitate the official website and ask users to approve harmful transactions.

Navigate to the genuine project domain rather than following unsolicited messages.

Seed Phrase Requests

No legitimate support representative needs your seed phrase to check public blockchain eligibility.

Never enter it on a website or send it to anyone.

Malicious Wallet Approvals

Connecting a wallet and approving token spending are different actions.

Review transaction details carefully.

A broad spending approval can introduce risk even when the website displays familiar branding.

Wrong Network Transfers

Ethereum and Base are separate networks.

Do not assume a token with the same name or symbol is transferable between networks without a verified bridge or supported deposit route.

Misleading Recovery Offers

Avoid anyone claiming they can change historic snapshot eligibility in exchange for a fee.

Outdated Official Documents

An old official article is still historical evidence, but its procedural instructions may have been superseded.

Check dates and later project announcements.

Did the October 2026 Qubetics Update Change Migration Eligibility?

No new eligibility was announced.

Instead, the 6 October update clarified the status of claims and explained further changes to the project.

Existing Claim Allocations

Qubetics stated that tokens already allocated to eligible holders remained in the claim smart contract.

It said these allocations would not be included in its planned token burns.

Team Token Burn

The project announced a completed burn of 68,093,398.2 TICS from the original team allocation.

This was separate from the migration.

Treasury Review

Qubetics also stated that it would review remaining project-controlled token allocations and burn amounts that no longer had a justified purpose.

That review was described as a future process, not as an already completed final burn amount.

Development Roadmap

The same update confirmed that Qubetics was no longer commissioning continued work on the original Layer-1, chain-abstraction protocol or dVPN.

Readers should therefore distinguish a completed ERC-20 token migration from delivery of the project's former broader technology plans.

Does the Migration Make TICS Safer or More Valuable?

A migration to Ethereum does not by itself guarantee either outcome.

Ethereum provides established token infrastructure and a large ecosystem of wallets and applications.

However, individual ERC-20 tokens can still have smart-contract risks, liquidity limitations, centralised holdings, market volatility and operational problems.

Even where a contract audit exists, the report's scope, date and findings matter.

A contract audit is not a guarantee against financial loss.

Likewise, a one-to-one token migration does not guarantee:

• An unchanged market price.
• Exchange liquidity.
• Future listings.
• Successful delivery of a technical roadmap.
• Profitability.
• Recovery of tokens held under unsupported conditions.

Users should independently verify current information before making financial decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Qubetics TICS Migration

When did Qubetics migrate TICS to Ethereum?

Qubetics scheduled its snapshot for 14 September 2026 and opened ERC-20 claims on 15 September 2026.

What was the Qubetics snapshot date?

14 September 2026.

What was the TICS snapshot block?

Block 6,650,277 on the original Qubetics blockchain.

What time was the snapshot?

The project estimated approximately 12:00 UTC on 14 September 2026. The block number was the precise reference.

Was the TICS migration 1:1?

Yes. Qubetics announced one eligible native TICS for one ERC-20 TICS.

Did the 1:1 migration guarantee the same price?

No. A 1:1 ratio refers to token quantity, not market value.

What happened to native Qubetics TICS?

The original native-token environment was superseded by the Ethereum ERC-20 migration process for eligible holdings.

Did MEXC support automatic migration?

Qubetics identified MEXC as supporting automatic migration of eligible exchange-held balances.

Did LBank support the migration?

Yes. LBank was named as another supported exchange.

What happened to TICS held on Coinstore?

Qubetics instructed Coinstore holders to move eligible holdings to supported custody before the snapshot. That deadline has passed.

Could MetaMask holders claim TICS?

Eligible self-custody holders using a compatible address were instructed to claim through the official migration portal.

Could Trust Wallet holders claim?

The official portal named Trust Wallet among compatible non-custodial wallet options, subject to the published eligibility requirements.

Were smart-contract wallets eligible?

The portal stated that smart-contract wallets were not eligible for its claim process.

Did staked TICS need to be unbonded?

The official portal instructed users to unbond delegated tokens before the snapshot.

Can I claim TICS to a new address?

The official instructions require the address associated with the snapshot allocation. Transfers to another compatible address may be possible after a successful claim.

Do I need ETH to claim TICS?

The claim process takes place on Ethereum, and the portal instructs users to have enough ETH for transaction gas.

Can I claim TICS in October 2026?

According to Qubetics' 6 October update, already eligible holders could continue claiming allocated tokens, and no deadline was then planned.

Is the migration still accepting new eligible holders?

No reopening of migration eligibility was announced. Keeping the portal available does not create new eligible allocations.

Why does my Qubetics wallet show zero tokens?

It could be a display, network, eligibility, exchange-custody or prior-claim issue. Check the relevant address and transaction history before drawing conclusions.

Why did Qubetics publish two Ethereum addresses?

The August announcement and the later migration page display different addresses. The reviewed announcements do not establish the complete reason for the discrepancy.

What is the current TICS contract address?

The current official migration page publishes 0x551ecFDBa071cB6541f642cB90a073c8c158Df05. See our dedicated Qubetics contract-address verification guide.

Does TICS still require the old Qubetics RPC?

Ethereum ERC-20 TICS uses Ethereum Mainnet. Historical Qubetics custom-network instructions should not be confused with current ERC-20 token access.

Were any TICS tokens burned after migration?

Yes. Qubetics reported burning its 68,093,398.2 TICS team allocation in October 2026.

Were eligible claim allocations included in that burn?

Qubetics says tokens already allocated to eligible holders in the claim contract are separate and excluded from the planned token burns.

Is Qubetics still building its original Layer-1 blockchain?

The 6 October announcement says the project is not currently commissioning continued development of the previously proposed Layer-1 blockchain.

Where is the official Qubetics migration portal?

The project publishes its migration information at https://www.qubetics.com/migration/.

Is the Qubetics migration portal safe?

The URL is identified by Qubetics as its official portal, but users should still independently verify the domain, connected wallet, transaction details and current project information. Official branding is not a guarantee against every technical or financial risk.

Conclusion

The Qubetics TICS migration moved eligible native TICS balances to Ethereum using a 1:1 ERC-20 conversion.

The key eligibility snapshot was set for 14 September 2026 at block 6,650,277, and self-custody claims were scheduled to begin the following day.

MEXC and LBank were identified as supporting automatic migration of eligible exchange balances. Self-custody holders needed to follow the official claim procedure, while Coinstore holders and users with delegated or smart-contract wallet holdings faced different requirements.

As of the project's 6 October 2026 update, the claim portal remained available for existing eligible allocations, but new migration eligibility was not being created.

The October announcement also confirmed a subsequent team-token burn and a significant change to Qubetics' original development roadmap.

For holders, the most important next step is to verify the original eligible wallet address, check the official claim status and confirm the current Ethereum contract before signing any transaction.

The migration ratio describes how token quantities were converted. It does not guarantee token price, liquidity, recoverability or the success of future project development.
