What wallets are available for storing and transacting ICX?
I still haven’t swapped my tokens following the 2018 swap from ERC-20 to IRC, is it too late?
No, it’s not too late. The ICONFi team will be supporting ERC20 ICX to mainnet ICX swaps moving forward. ICONFi have released a detailed guide on how to carry out the swap:
