What is ANY and MULTI on Multichain
ANY is the legacy token on Multichain and MULTI is the new governance token used for voting and protocol upgrades. The migration consolidates value into a single, upgradable token model. For official guidelines, see the Multichain docs.
In crypto, the strongest guarantee is the code; the Legal Promise vs. Code Reality lens helps spot mismatches like confusing terminology or unclear upgrade paths. upgradeability risks should be assessed before any swap. Also, consult related material on real-world utility.
How the swap works: Step by Step
- Connect your wallet and select the ANY token as the input asset.
- Choose MULTI as the output token on Multichain's bridge.
- Confirm the swap details, including any slippage and fees, then authorize the transaction.
- Receive MULTI on the destination chain and verify balance.
The exact steps may vary by chain; always verify the current process in the official docs: Multichain docs. Some users also reference industry guides on cross-chain swaps for context. paused DeFi services are a reminder to check platform status before proceeding.
Risks, fees, and timing to expect
Cross-chain swaps incur fees and possible delays. Gas costs vary by chain, and bridging time depends on congestion. Plan for a small window between confirmation and final settlement.
Watch for slippage and double-check contract addresses to avoid phishing. For risk awareness, see the discussion on upgradeability risks and the broader concept of decentralization metrics.
Security, governance, and upgrade paths
Security is about the code and the governance around it. Use trusted wallets, verify source contracts, and follow established upgrade protocols. The governance framework helps prevent a single point of failure and aligns with industry best practices.
For deeper reading on governance and upgrades, the referenced internal article topics provide broader context without exposing you to unnecessary risk. Always prioritize auditable processes and transparent disclosures when planning any migration.
