Change the token contract on the xDai chain

Instructions how to replace the interim token by the DAOstack token contract

For demonstration purposes we use MyEtherWallet (MEW) to replace one token contract on the xDai chain by another one. These actions may be applied to any other wallet with similar capabilities.

Before changing the token from the interim token contract (0x3E12081DD66A3600FC0A2E6cc9e6b5B3b8f037f6) to the DAOstack token contract (0x543Ff227F64Aa17eA132Bf9886cAb5DB55DCAddf) it is necessary to make sure that the balance of the GEN-xGEN bridge extension is zero - the mediator contract of the extension on the side of the Ethereum Mainnet does not own any amount of GEN tokens. If so, withdraw all the xGEN tokens from the xDai chain.

Assign the mediator contract as the DAOstack token contract owner

1. Choose the xDai chain in the browser wallet extension and login to MyEtherWallet (MEW) by using the account which is the current owner of the DAOstack token contract. Select to the Interact with Contract item in the side navigation menu.

2. Initialize the DAOstack (bridgeable) token contract interface:

  • 1) Add the token Contract Address 0x543Ff227F64Aa17eA132Bf9886cAb5DB55DCAddf.

  • 2) Add the following JSON in the ABI/JSON Interface field:

[{"type":"function","stateMutability":"nonpayable","payable":false,
"outputs":[],"name":"transferOwnership","inputs":[{"type":"address",
"name":"newOwner"}],"constant":false}]
  • 3) Click Continue.

3. Change the owner of the DAOstack token contract to the GEN-xGEN AMB extension mediator contract:

  • 1) Select transferOwnership from the the Select an Item dropdown

  • 2) Enter in the NewOwner address: 0xe47097ceF3B0bcbb0095A21523714bF0022E2DB8. This is the mediator contract serving the bridge extension in the xDai chain.

  • 3) Click Write.

4. Check the gas price, then Submit the transaction through the web3 wallet extension and wait until it is included in the chain.

Set the new token contract in the mediator contract

1. Choose the xDai chain in the browser wallet extension and login to MyEtherWallet (MEW) by using the account which is the current owner of the mediator contract. Select to the Interact with Contract item in the side navigation menu.

2. Initialize the mediator contract serving the GEN-xGEN AMB extension interface:

  • 1) Add the token Contract Address 0xe47097ceF3B0bcbb0095A21523714bF0022E2DB8.

  • 2) Add the following JSON in the ABI/JSON Interface field:

[{"type":"function","stateMutability":"nonpayable","payable":false,
"outputs":[],"name":"setBridgeableToken","inputs":[{"type":"address",
"name":"_token"}],"constant":false}]
  • 3) Click Continue.

3. Set the new token contract to be used as the bridgeable token the GEN-xGEN AMB extension on the xDai chain:

  • 1) Select setBridgeableToken from the the Select an Item dropdown

  • 2) Enter in the _token address: 0x543Ff227F64Aa17eA132Bf9886cAb5DB55DCAddf. This is the DAOstack token contract.

  • 3) Click Write.

4. Check the gas price, then Submit the transaction through the web3 wallet extension and wait until it is included in the chain.
