$MC to $BEAM token migration
As previously mentioned, the Merit Circle token $MC is migrating to $BEAM as a result of the acceptance of both MIP-28 and MIP-29. Ever since its announcement, more than 90% of all $MC tokens have been migrated to $BEAM tokens..
Since the full utility of the $MC token is migrating to $BEAM, we recommend everyone to go through the migration process and thereby receive your $BEAM tokens.
