Redemption is open. The window runs from 8 October 2026 to 8 October 2027. There is no advantage to redeeming early or late, so take the time to decide.
If you decide to redeem, here's the process.
Before you start, confirm
Your tokens have stayed continuously vouched since the October 8 snapshot.
You still control your Original Wallet Address (the wallet you purchased with)
You're within 12 months of the token unlock date
How to redeem
Email [email protected] with:
Your Ethos profile URL
Your Original Wallet Address
The number of tokens you wish to redeem
Your full legal name (as used in sale KYC)
Your country of residence
What happens next
We verify your eligibility: purchase records, vouch status, and wallet.
We send you a link to complete identity verification (KYC/AML) with the Ethos Foundation.
You receive redemption instructions for transferring the tokens.
This will look like: You unvouch, send the foundation the $WHUF, and we send you the $USDC back
Settlement is paid in USDC at 85% of your original purchase price for the redeemed tokens. The auction cleared at $4.20, so the rate is 85% for every sale purchase.
Settlement may take up to 30 days from approval. Redemptions are processed by the Ethos Foundation, off-market.
After you've emailed
The Ethos Foundation works through redemption requests as it can, and there is no set timeline for the eligibility check. Once your eligibility is verified, you'll be sent the KYC/AML link, followed by the transfer instructions. The up to 30 days above applies to settlement after approval.
Please send one email only. A single complete request is all that's needed, so include everything in the list above the first time.
If you haven't heard back, no action is needed on your side. Make sure your email includes all five details above and that you sent it from an address you can still access.
Partial redemptions
You can redeem part of your holding and keep the rest vouched. The unredeemed portion keeps its guarantee for the remainder of the 12-month window.
