The Merge has ended!

It has been a full year since we opened the Merge, allowing users to migrate their $KUJI and some of the ecosystem tokens from Kujira to our new home on THORChain and merge them into $RUJI.

With the Merge now ended, here’s what this means for you 🧵👇

In this thread, we will show you where and how to withdraw your $RUJI from the Merge contract, and how you can already start staking your RUJI so that you are fully ready for when reward distribution is turned on at a later point.

First, the Merge deadline.

Now that it has passed, you can no longer convert your tokens into RUJI, and there are no bonus tokens left to distribute.

For users with RUJI in the Merge contract, you can now start withdrawing your RUJI, as all rewards have been distributed.

To withdraw your RUJI, visit the merge page:
https://rujira.network/merge/KUJI

Click “Withdraw” and withdraw the full amount on the merge page.

The Merge contract remains open for withdrawals indefinitely, so there is no deadline to withdraw your assets.

RUJI is designed as the fee-sharing token of the Rujira ecosystem. Activity across any of the products, whether it is Perps or on our orderbook, generates revenue, which is then split between RUJI stakers and THORChain.

The more products and activity, the higher the rewards.

The distribution of staking rewards has not started yet. This requires a bit more work on our side to get it properly set up, and we will begin this once more revenue-generating products are deployed.

But you can already start staking your $RUJI so that you are ready from the beginning.

To do so, head to the Staking page to stake your RUJI:

Rujira

On the RUJI staking page, you have 2 options:

1. Auto-compound your RUJI and receive more RUJI over time with "Liquid Staking"
2. Claim rewards as USDC with "Account Staking"

https://rujira.network/strategies/staking/RUJI

Auto-compound RUJI with Liquid Staking.

Choose the left option, Liquid Staking, if you want your RUJI position to grow automatically over time once staking rewards begin distribution.

Claim rewards as USDC with Account Staking.

Choose the right option, Account Staking, if you want to claim future rewards as USDC manually whenever you want by selecting Claim Manually.

You can also automate claiming of USDC with AutoRujira.

Select the Automate Rewards option if you want future rewards to be claimed automatically as USDC or other assets, without needing to claim them manually yourself.

Now that the Merge window has ended, we want to thank everyone who merged their assets and continues this journey with us as we close one chapter and begin a very promising one on @thorchain.

One with more liquidity, more chains, and more communities to reach.

We want to remind everyone that there are still assets with value on Kujira and we urge you to move them to Rujira or other blockchain, as support for the Kujira chain is coming to an end in the near future.

There are still exogenous assets on Kujira 🤯 If any of them are yours, please move them out as soon as possible. After the end of June, there will be nothing we can do to recover them. Read on if this affects you 🧵👇
