How to transfer EOS ERC20 tokens using MyEtherWallet

in #eos7 years ago (edited)

This guide really only applies to you if you've chosen to use MEW instead of the official EOS Contribution interface. After you've claimed your EOS tokens as outlined in Step 2 in the full guide, you'll likely want to transfer them. You'll need to complete a few steps, first.

Load your Wallet

  1. Go to https://www.myetherwallet.com/#send-transaction
  2. Load your wallet using one of the methods listed.

Add the custom token

  1. Turn your attention to Token Balances on the right-hand side of the page.
  2. Click Add Custom Token

  3. For the field named token address, enter 0x86fa049857e0209aa7d9e616f7eb3b3b78ecfdb0
  4. For the field named Token Symbol enter EOS
  5. For the field named Decimals enter 18
  6. Click Save
  7. Assuming your transaction that processed claimAll() has been confirmed, you will see your EOS token balance in MyEtherWallet in the same area.

To transfer

You will need some Ether in your wallet to pay the fees for the transaction.

  1. In the Address field, enter the Ethereum address you would like to transfer your EOS to. If it's a wallet, it needs to be a wallet for which you control the private keys. If it is an exchange, it should be an address specifically for EOS ERC20 tokens. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ADDRESS, don't accidentally send to the EOS Token Address like this guy did
  2. In Amount to Send, enter the number of EOS tokens you would like to send.
  3. Select EOS from the dropdown to the right of the Amount to Send field.
  4. MEW will suggest a gas limit based on current network conditions. If it does not, enter 90000 or more. If you would like your transaction to be confirmed faster, adjust accordingly.
  5. Click Generate Transaction
  6. Click Send Transaction
  7. If all went well, a green bar will appear at the bottom of the page with your tx hash, and a link to your tx on the blockchain. If you got a red bar, read the error it provides and correct the issue it illuminated.

Super helpful! Thank you for this post.

Thank you for this tutorial, I just bought EOS yesterday and will store it on my ether wallet for the time being. Problem solved :)

Why would the token address for transfer be 0x86fa049857e0209aa7d9e616f7eb3b3b78ecfdb0 while the contract to purchase and claim are all 0xd0a6E6C54DbC68Db5db3A091B171A77407Ff7ccf

I assumed they both will be the same?

No, the token address is not the same as the EOS crowdsale contract address. You can take the token address I provided, go to EOS.io and do a find on page if you would like to verify. This is something I would suggest in most cases, however, in the case of a token address, there is no inherent dangers in using the wrong token address for adding custom token/watch contract. The worst that would happen is that it would show you a zero balance

Hi there, I transferred my EOS token form one MEW wallet to another but was low of gas. my 2000 EOS token disappeared. What do next? cheers

is there a way to contact EOS because I sent ether and until now I cannot get my EOS token its says window blocked when ever I want to claim

Can I send my EOS to my ledger nano S ETH address?? Thanks for the tutorial.

I'd like to know this, too

Yes you can, I just did it.

How do you do it?
