Augur is urging all REP token holders to complete their migration by August 1, 2026. This final step is key to stay connected with the platform's updated ecosystem, following the recent Moon Fork event.
The migration requires REP holders to swap their tokens on a one-to-one basis into new, outcome-specific versions of REP. This process is irreversible, and tokens left in the old Augur system after the deadline will lose their functional value. Once the migration window closes, there will be no option to convert legacy tokens.
The migration tools are accessible through Augur’s official fork interface at 6.augurfork.eth.limo, accompanied by a detailed guide and an FAQ section to assist users throughout the process.
Testing Decentralized Dispute Resolution
The Moon Fork, which kicked off on April 8, was a live trial of Augur’s economic security and dispute resolution model. It centered on verifying whether the Artemis II mission launched successfully in early April. The event was initiated by Micah Zoltu, a long-time member of the Augur community, to put the protocol’s adjudication mechanism through real-world stress.
The trial ran through two phases, starting with an escalation game lasting from April to early June. REP holders staked on competing outcomes through multiple dispute rounds, each demanding more capital than the last. Those backing the final accepted answer stood to earn returns funded by the losing side, creating financial motivation to uphold truthful outcomes and resist manipulation.
This phase demonstrated Augur’s decentralized approach to securing accurate results without centralized arbitration. If the process couldn't outspend an attacker financially, it would proceed to its next stage, but the protocol ultimately held firm.
All REP holders must now complete token migration to remain active participants in the protocol. Failing to do so will disconnect their assets from Augur’s live system, risking economic devaluation.
