Dear Ava Protocol Community,
The moment we’ve been waiting for is approaching! As the Ava Protocol team and I prepare for the token generation event for AP tokens, we’re excited to announce that our legacy token conversion is now open. This represents a key community milestone in Ava Protocol’s expansion of verifiable, AI-native automation on Ethereum and beyond.
We’ve received multiple listing offers from exchanges and are carefully evaluating the best path for our TGE. By converting your legacy tokens now, you’re securing your position in our community and reinforcing its strength. Your participation matters, but not just in our token launch. We recently launched the first iteration of Ava Protocol Studio, and your input is instrumental for its evolution. Complete our quick survey and be among the first 200 respondents to receive $25 in AP rewards. Take the survey now!
To our loyal TUR token holders and OAK crowdloan participants: Your early support has been the foundation of our growth. Whether you participated in the Turing Network Crowdloan on Kusama, purchased TUR on MangataX DEX, or joined our Polkadot Crowdloan for OAK Network, we’re providing you with a straightforward conversion path.
Please read below for complete details on eligibility, conversion rates, and the steps to claim your AP tokens.
🚀 Quick Start: How to Convert Your Legacy Tokens
Ava Protocol (AP) will be an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. With our auto-binding system, you can submit your EVM wallet address to receive the converted AP tokens.
Steps to Bind Your Wallet
- Go to the Conversion Website
URL: https://legacy-address.avaprotocol.org/
2. Connect Your Polkadot or Kusama Wallet
Your existing token balance will be displayed automatically.
3. Enter Your Ethereum Wallet Address
This is where you’ll receive your converted AP tokens.
4. Sign a Message to Confirm the Binding
📝 No Gas Fees!
We only need your signature to verify ownership of your Polkadot or Kusama wallet. No onchain transaction fee is incurred.

📅 When Should I Complete the Binding?
The binding process is available indefinitely. However, the auto-binding website will be live until the end of 2026.
If you need help after that, feel free to create a support ticket in our Discord.
Turing Network Token (TUR) Conversion
If you participated in the Turing Network Crowdloan on Kusama (2022) or purchased TUR on MangataX DEX, you may still have TUR tokens in your Kusama wallet.
Token Symbol: TUR
Conversion Rate: 20 TUR → 1 AP
Note: All TUR tokens held by the Turing Network treasury will be burned, including:
- Undistributed ecosystem funds
- Unallocated team tokens
- Reserved parachain purchase funds
Only TUR held by users will be eligible for conversion to AP. From here onward, we will refer to these tokens as “Eligible TUR”.
A user’s MangataX Liquidity Pool tokens cannot be automatically converted to TUR. The LPs must be withdrawn for manual conversion.
Vesting: The tokens will be unlocked on a linear vesting schedule over 12 months following the TGE. For example, if a user’s total converted reward is 1,200 AP, they will receive 100 AP each month, automatically distributed to their bound EVM address.
📸 Snapshot Process
We will take three snapshots to determine the average eligible TUR balance for conversion.
| Snapshot | Date | TUR Wallets (Turing) | Total Eligible TUR on Turing Network | TUR Wallets (Mangata) | Total Eligible TUR on Mangata |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| First | Mar 13, 2025 | 11,013 | 132,536,316 | 683 | 6,921,209 |
| Second | Mar 20, 2025 | TBD | TBD | TBD | TBD |
| Final | Apr 6, 2025 | TBD | TBD | TBD | TBD |
OAK Network Token Conversion
Eligibility
If you participated in the Polkadot Crowdloan for OAK Network (Sep 2022), you are eligible to convert your OAK rewards into AP.
- Snapshot Taken at Crowdloan Conclusion
- Conversion Rate: 1 OAK → 1 AP
- Maximum Conversion Cap: 250,000 AP per wallet address. (Since the Polkadot parachain has not yet launched, we are not distributing the full amount at this time. The remaining crowdloan rewards beyond the limit will be distributed in the future if we proceed with the Polkadot parachain launch.)
📸 Snapshot Process
One snapshot has been taken at the conclusion of the Polkadot crowdloan for OAK Network to determine the eligible OAK balance for conversion.
| Snapshot | Date | Polkadot Crowdloan Participants | Total Eligible OAK |
|---|---|---|---|
| Final | Sep 30, 2022 | 705 | 5,147,521 |

📢 Final Thoughts
This opens an exciting new chapter for our ecosystem. Ava Protocol is establishing a new standard for decentralized, verifiable automation across AI agents, DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and more. Our progress simply wouldn't be possible without our community.
We will cease the operation of Turing Network after the final snapshot is taken on April 5, 2025. As mentioned above, all user- and operator-owned tokens will be carried over to the AP tokens. We will continue to support our tokens and community in the new Ava Protocol ecosystem.

Thank you for your continued support as we enter this exciting new phase!
