Token Migration & Upgrade Path
PHASE 1: POLYGON (CURRENT)
- ERC-20 ASHA token on Polygon PoS
- Benefits: Low fees, fast transactions, established ecosystem
- Limitations: Dependent on Polygon infrastructure
- Duration: 12-18 months
PHASE 2: CUSTOM LAYER 1 (FUTURE)
Migration Process
- Snapshot of Polygon ASHA balances
- 1:1 bridge to new chain (6-month window)
- Old tokens burned on Polygon
- New tokens minted on Intelligent Chain
Requirements
- Validator Requirement: 100K ASHA minimum stake
- Consensus: Proof-of-Contribution + Proof-of-Stake
Backward Compatibility
- Bridge remains open for late migrators (reduced rewards)
- Legacy contracts remain functional on Polygon
- Cross-chain messaging for unified experience
