Ethereum, developed by Mr. Vitalik Buterin is a new software platform. The virtual currency used on this platform is also called Ethereum. Its tokens are called "Ether" and its symbol is "ETH".

What are Ethereum's features?

Ethereum was previously using a Proof of Work (abbreviated as PoW) algorithm for the issuance of currency to miners, it has since then changed to Proof of Stake (PoS) through a major update called "The Merge". It means that the difficulty of mining is adjusted based on the amount of that currency the miner possesses as well as the amount of time that it has been held.

The minimum order size on the Bitcoin Market is 0.00001 BTC.

• When you do NOT press "Submit Order" your balance will remain unchanged.
• If you press "Submit Order" your transaction will show up in the Order History below Buy/Sell.

There is a difference between the prices on our "Buy/Sell" feature and the market price. This is called the spread.

Typically, the spread centers on the market price; in other words, the market price will be somewhere in the middle of the buy and sell price.

The price at which you buy will always be higher than the price at which you sell your cryptocurrencies for on Buy/Sell. Additionally, because of the spread, the price you pay/receive will be slightly different to the market price.

In times of high volatility in the market, this spread may increase due to the rapid price changes. Additionally, the nature of the coin itself (in particular low volume coins) can also have an influence on the spread.

What is the meaning of an Altcoin?

In accordance with the scheduled Lisk (LSK) migration to the ERC-20 blockchain LSK (L2) on Tuesday, May 21st, 2024, we will suspend service for Lisk on Buy/Sell, deposit/withdrawal services and bitFlyer Recurring Buy starting around 10:00 pm (CEST) on Monday, May 20th, 2024.

In response to the migration of Lisk (LSK) from its independent blockchain to the Ethereum blockchain and issuance as tokens under the ERC-20 standard, bitFlyer Europe S. A. (hereinafter referred to as “bitFlyer”) will suspend services for LSK starting around 10 am (CEST) on Monday, May 20th, 2024. Purchase and selling on Buy/Sell, deposits and withdrawals, and bitFlyer Recurring Buy will no longer be available from that date. bitFlyer is currently preparing to offer service for the newly issued ERC-20 standard tokens. Details will be announced separately as soon as they are available.

About the LSK Blockchain Migration The token issuer Onchain Foundation has announced that the LSK tokens will be migrated from their independent blockchain to the Ethereum blockchain and issued as ERC-20 standard tokens on Tuesday, May 21st, 2024. Besides existing LSK being migrated to L2 LSK, existing LSK holders will also be granted Klayr (KLY) tokens issued on a new blockchain via airdrop.

bitFlyer’s Response to LSK Blockchain Migration

Information on existing LSK: The existing LSK blockchain will be terminated on Tuesday, May 21st, 2024 and trading and token retrieval will become impossible. For that reason, bitFlyer will suspend service for LSK from 10 am (CEST) on Monday, May 20th, 2024. Purchase and selling on Buy/Sell, deposits and withdrawals, and bitFlyer Recurring Buy will not be available from that date.

Information on L2 LSK: bitFlyer is currently preparing to offer service for L2 LSK. However, this requires passing an examination by the JVCEA, which is expected to take a certain amount of time, and the results of the examination cannot be guaranteed by bitFlyer. Details will be announced separately as soon as they are available.

For Customers Holding Existing LSKs After Service Suspension For the case that bitFlyer can support L2 LSK, L2 LSK tokens will be allocated to each customer at a 1:1 equivalent to their existing LSK holdings. However, please note that bitFlyer may not be able to compensate customers for their existing LSK holdings if support for L2 LSK is not possible.

Please Be Aware of the Following:

The LSK blockchain migration will be carried out by the token issuer and bitFlyer will not be liable for any changes or any losses incurred by customers as a result of such changes.

Existing LSK holders will be able to claim L2 LSK at a 1:1 equivalent from the token issuer after the migration to L2 LSK. However, customers who keep LSK in their bitFlyer account will not be able to make a direct request to the issuer. If you wish to make a claim to the issuer directly, you will need to transfer the LSK funds in your bitFlyer account to a private wallet before bitFlyer suspends service for LSK.

With the migration of the existing LSK to L2 LSK, there might be price fluctuations, or price gaps may occur at the timing of the migration. Prices are in no way guaranteed by bitFlyer.

bitFlyer has not yet determined how to proceed with the KLY that the token issuer intends to grant existing LSK holders.
