Information on MINA Staking

1. What is MINA staking?

MINA is the native utility token for the Mina blockchain. Instead of using miners and a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism to verify transactions and maintain the integrity of the Mina blockchain, Mina uses a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism. This means that network participants are able to stake a certain amount of MINA for the right to honestly verify transactions on Mina and receive rewards for doing so. Additionally, MINA owners are able to lock their tokens and vote for these network participants, known as validators. MINA holders that lock and vote their tokens receive additional MINA as a reward for voting for honest and active validators on the network. CoinList manages the locking and voting for users who deposit MINA into their CoinList wallet so they can passively receive additional MINA. 


2. How do I earn MINA staking rewards on CoinList?

When you deposit or purchase MINA on CoinList, you may be eligible to receive staking rewards by keeping MINA in your CoinList Wallet. Once you deposit MINA into your CoinList Wallet, you are automatically opted into staking rewards. There is no action on your end required to participate. Please note that MINA held on CoinList Pro do not earn staking rewards.


3. How much are MINA staking rewards?

You can find the most current staking reward amount on the Staking page (https://coinlist.co/staking) of your account. Please note that CoinList does not guarantee any reward will accrue, and the amount of the reward is subject to change at any time. The estimated reward takes into account CoinList’s fee.


4. What fees are charged for this staking service?

A 15% fee will be taken from your earned staking rewards. Your staked principal will not be affected by the fee.


5. Do I have to buy my MINA on CoinList to earn staking rewards?

No. Users who have procured their MINA from other means or trading venues are able to deposit their MINA into their CoinList Wallet and automatically be enrolled in the staking rewards program.


6. Who is eligible to earn MINA staking rewards on CoinList?

Anyone who is able to open up a wallet on CoinList and deposit MINA into their account is eligible for MINA staking rewards on CoinList. CoinList Wallets are not available in all jurisdictions, please visit this page to see our list of approved jurisdictions. Not available for citizens and residents of the US and Canada. 


7. What are MINA staking rewards paid out in?

MINA staking rewards on CoinList are paid out in MINA. This means you will accrue additional MINA by keeping your MINA in your CoinList wallet. 


8. When will I receive my MINA staking rewards?

Once per month, CoinList will distribute rewards to users pro-rata of their average holdings over the month. We will notify you via email once your rewards have been distributed into your CoinList wallet. 


9. Will my staking rewards be automatically re-staked? Are MINA rewards compounding? 

Yes, your MINA staking rewards are automatically re-staked and earning additional rewards unless you withdraw or trade them. MINA rewards are compounding daily, but are only distributed once per month. 


10. Who is the MINA staking provider for CoinList?

Currently, MINA tokens held in CoinList Wallets are delegated to Figment, a professional staking service.

 

11. Can I choose who my MINA tokens are delegated to?

CoinList does not include the functionality to choose to whom your tokens are delegated (i.e. they are automatically delegated to Figment). In order to choose who your tokens are delegated to, you will need to transfer your MINA tokens to a wallet that you control yourself.


12. How do I opt-out of MINA staking rewards?

You will automatically receive staking rewards by holding MINA in your CoinList Wallet. If you would like to opt-out of MINA staking rewards, go to the Staking page > Select MINA > Select “…” for more options > Toggle “Auto stake assets” off. Please note that if you opt out of staking, your earned staking rewards will be distributed at the end of the month along with the regular staking reward distributions. You will not receive your earned staking rewards early.


For Mina Token Sale participants only: 


13. Have I been earning block rewards since the sale date?

Yes. The MINA tokens you purchased have been earning staking rewards since the sale. These accrued rewards will be paid into your CoinList Wallets on May 31 when your tokens unlock.

 

14. How do I earn “Supercharged Rewards”?

“Supercharged Rewards” are automatically enabled for the MINA tokens you purchased on CoinList. You do not need to take any action to activate these rewards. The staking rewards you will be paid on May 31 (and each month thereafter for the first 15 months after mainnet launch) include Supercharged Rewards. More information about Supercharged Rewards can be found here.

How long do ether transactions take?

CoinList waits for 30 confirmations to consider an ETH or ERC-20 transaction final. Although typically this should only take about ~ 5 minutes, this can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 4 hours. Especially during periods of high network congestion, the transaction can take longer. You can see the number of confirmations in your CoinList wallet.

How do I redeem Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) for BTC?

To unwrap WBTC into BTC, you first need to have WBTC in your CoinList wallet. Once your wallet is funded with WBTC:


  • Click “Unwrap” from inside your WBTC wallet.
  • Enter the amount of WBTC you wish to swap into BTC
  • Click “Confirm Unwrap” to receive BTC directly in your BTC wallet.


WBTC will be debited from your WBTC wallet and you will receive BTC in your BTC wallet.

Placing Orders

Market orders refer to trades that are purchasing a given asset at the current market price (i.e. spot price) for the asset. You can place a market order by following these instructions: 


  • Choose the trading pair - click on the trading pair you want to use to trade 
  • Choose the order type - click on the order type you would like to use
  • Enter the trade size - define either the amount of crypto or the US dollar notional value to determine the size of the trade
  • Specify your order price - if using a price order, such as a limit or stop, enter the price at which you want to place the order. If using a market order, no price needs to be entered.
  • Choose to buy or sell - click on the buy or sell button to submit the order

Order Type

Trades can be submitted with different conditions known as order types. These order types allow traders to specify criteria related to how and at what price a trade may be placed.


CoinList Pro supports several order types, including:


Market


  • Description - market orders execute at the next available price in the market. No price is specified with the order, and the order is filled at the current market price
  • Use case - traders use market orders to enter or exit a trade quickly when execution certainty is a higher priority than price execution
  • Traders should be cautious when using market orders in thinly traded markets where the bid-ask spread may be wide and liquidity may represent an issue for price slippage, causing orders to get filled for a higher price if they are buying, or a lower price if they are selling

A market order is the most straightforward type of order. It executes immediately against the best price available. As long as there are willing buyers and sellers, market orders are filled.


A market sell will match the best available bids on the order book, and a market buy will match against the best available asks on the order book.

Market orders are often used when you need to prioritize speed over price, for example, when taking advantage of a fast-moving bull run. You'll use this order when you need your trade to execute immediately at the current best price available.


Limit


  • Description - limit orders are used to specify a price limit at which the order must be executed. Limit orders to buy are placed below the market and limit orders to sell are placed above the market. Since the limit order must be filled at the designated price or better, traders use limits to define the worst price at which the order will be executed, prioritizing price execution over execution certainty
  • Use case - traders use limit orders to enter positions, setting orders at points that act as profit targets, as well as to exit positions. Limits can be placed in advance once a position has been entered, and the order will automatically execute once the price conditions have been met
  • Since a limit order must be executed at the specified price or better, the market may touch the limit price several times with the trader not receiving a fill, depending on where the trader’s order is in order book queue
  • The market must trade completely through a limit order’s price in order for a trader to earn a complete fill and partial fills can occur if only part of the order is executed
  • A limit order remains in the order book until the order is either executed, canceled, or expires

A limit order allows you to specify a price and amount you would like to buy or sell at.


Example: If the current market price is 8000 and you want to buy lower than that at 7900, then you would place a limit buy order at 7900. If the market reaches 7900 and a seller’s ask matches with your bid, your limit order will be executed at 7900.


Stop Market


  • Description - stop market orders execute at the next available price once the designated trigger price crosses the stop price. Stop orders to buy are placed above the market and stop orders to sell are placed below the market. 
  • Use case - traders typically use stop orders in an attempt to limit losses if the market moves against a market position or to protect profits on an open position, but the order type can also be used to initiate a new position. Once the stop price is touched, the stop order is said to have been "elected," will be treated as a market order, and will be filled at the best possible price
  • Stop orders do not guarantee execution at the stop order price, and price slippage may occur in certain market conditions. Unlike limit orders, stops are not required to be executed at the designated price or better

CoinList Pro supports two kinds of triggerable orders: stops and take profits. These are orders that aren't added to the order book until some price threshold is reached.


Stop Market / Limit


A stop market or stop limit order is an instruction to add a market or limit order to the book once the trigger price has crossed the stop price. By default, the stop price indicates the mark price at which to trigger the stop, but stops may also be configured to trigger on last trade price or underlying index price rather than mark price.


Stop orders rest in the matching engine until the trigger price goes 'outside' the stop price:

  • buy - the stop triggers when the trigger price is greater than or equal to the stop price
  • sell - the stop triggers when the trigger price is less than or equal to the stop price

Upon triggering, the stop order is converted to a regular market or limit order. This order becomes available for execution in the first auction following the one which triggered the stop. The order will incur the standard fees, as any order inserted at the time of the trigger would.


While it is untriggered, a stop order is invisible to other traders, and is not included in the book. Once it is triggered it becomes visible (as it is now a normal market or limit order).


Note that the time priority of the order is based on the time at which it was triggered, rather than the time at which the stop was last updated.


Trailing Stop


A stop market order may be specified with either a fixed or percentage trail value, which causes the stop price to be pegged to no more than a fixed offset away from the order's trigger price (which is a mark price, index price, or last trade price, depending on the order's specified trigger type).


When the trigger price moves away from the current stop price, the stop price is moved as well, thus the stop price trails the trigger price. (Note however that when the trigger price moves towards the current stop price, the stop price doesn't change, otherwise the order would never trigger.)


For example, on a stop market sell order, setting a $-100 trail value will have the effect of setting the stop price $100 below the trigger price. If the trigger price is $1000 at the time the order is entered, the stop price will be $900. If the trigger price moves up to $1050, the stop price will be updated to $950. If the trigger price then moves down to $990, the stop price will stay at $950, and if the trigger price keeps moving all the way down to $950, the order will be triggered, and will convert to a normal market sell.


In other words, the stop price of a stop sell order will move up along with the market, but is kept constant as the price falls towards the stop (and vice-versa for a stop buy order).


Take Profit Market


  • Description - take profit, or market-if-touched, orders execute at the next available price once the designated trigger price (by default, the mark price) crosses the stop price
  • Use case - traders typically use take profit orders to exit positions once a price level has been reached although the order type can be used to initiate a position as well. Since the order executes at market once the market trades at the order price, execution certainty is prioritized over price execution
  • Take profit orders do not guarantee execution at the order price, and price slippage may occur in certain market conditions. Unlike limit orders, take profits are not required to be executed at the designated price or better
  • A take profit order will not be executed if the trigger price fails to touch the take profit specified price

A take market or take limit order is the same as a stop market or limit order, but with the trigger directions reversed. That is:

  • buy - the take profit order triggers when the trigger price is less than or equal to the stop price
  • sell - the take profit order triggers when the trigger price is greater than or equal to the stop price

Post-Only Order 


The post-only order is a limit order that ensures the order will be added to the book and not match with a pre-existing order. If your order matches with a pre-existing order, your post-only limit order will be rejected.


The Post-Only Order ensures that you will receive the maker rebate, and not pay a taker fee. It prevents placing a limit buy order that matches against the sell side of the order book (and vice versa, for sell orders), which would normally result in taker fees.



Price Protection

In order to prevent prevent large slippage on the exchange, CoinList Pro employs price protections on its market and limit orders.


Price Protection of Market Orders


This is the maximum (buy market) and minimum (sell market) price that can be executed via a market order. If a market order has remaining unfilled quantity, it will effectively become a resting limit order at the maximum/minimum price.


  • Market buy limit protection price = best ask * (1.05)
  • Market sell limit protection price = best bid * (0.95)

Price Protection of Limit Orders


This is the maximum buy limit and minimum sell limit price that can be submitted via a limit order. There is no minimum limit on a buy limit price or maximum limit on a sell limit price.


  • Buy Limit Price Maximum: Reference Price *(1.05)
  • Sell Limit Price Minimum: Reference Price *(0.95)
  • Buy limit orders more than the Buy Limit Price Maximum and sell limit orders less than the Sell Limit Price Minimum will be rejected

If an order is a Stop Limit Order, the Reference Price is the Stop Price, otherwise it is chosen in the following order:


1. Last Trade Price

  • if the last auction did not have a fill, go to 2

2. Best bid if it is higher than, or best ask if it is lower than, the previous midpoint quote.


Maker and Taker Definitions

In theory, a Maker is an order that adds liquidity to the order book and a Taker is an order that removes liquidity.


In practice, there are some edge cases on CoinList Pro that one should be aware of.


1. A market order is a taker unless:

  • It remains unfilled (due to price protection) and sits on the orderbook for longer than one auction

2. A limit order is a maker unless:

  • It crosses in the current auction AND it crosses at a price that is through the previous auction price 
  • Through the previous auction price means a buy that is higher than the previous auction or a sell that is lower than the previous auction price
  • It crosses in the current auction AND it crosses at a price that is equal to the previous auction price AND it is on the side (buy or sell) without any unfilled orders

Information on MINA Staking

1. What is MINA staking?

MINA is the native utility token for the Mina blockchain. Instead of using miners and a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism to verify transactions and maintain the integrity of the Mina blockchain, Mina uses a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism. This means that network participants are able to stake a certain amount of MINA for the right to honestly verify transactions on Mina and receive rewards for doing so. Additionally, MINA owners are able to lock their tokens and vote for these network participants, known as validators. MINA holders that lock and vote their tokens receive additional MINA as a reward for voting for honest and active validators on the network. CoinList manages the locking and voting for users who deposit MINA into their CoinList wallet so they can passively receive additional MINA.

How do I earn staking rewards on CoinList?

When you deposit or purchase a supported Proof-of-Stake (PoS) asset on CoinList, you may be eligible to receive staking rewards by having that asset in your CoinList wallet.

What is staking?

Some crypto networks, like Bitcoin, use a Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism where miners validate transactions by solving difficult math problems, other networks use a consensus mechanism known as Proof of Stake (PoS). In PoW networks, miners maintain consensus and secure the network, while PoS networks rely on participants known as validators to perform the same work. 


Validators confirm transactions and maintain consensus on the network to maintain the integrity and security of the blockchain they’re validating. To ensure that validators are acting honestly, PoS networks require validators to stake a minimum amount of tokens native to that network. This stake can be aggregated from many users, not just the validator, and essentially acts as a security deposit – if a validator is confirming invalid transactions, then validators will lose part of the capital they staked. As compensation for their work and for the opportunity cost of capital, validators earn network rewards for their work. These rewards can be shared among their community for users who have provided additional stake. 


Most PoS networks have different and unique consensus mechanisms and economic models. We recommend conducting your own research on each network before participating in any staking program.

Karma

What is Karma?

Karma is a point system that rewards you for your activities on CoinList. Karma increases your chance of getting into Token Launches and exclusive offers when you contribute to crypto protocols. Earn for doing good for crypto!


Our Karma program continues to evolve and as it does, we will provide additional information. CoinList retains the right to modify the terms of the Karma program at any time.

What is my Karma Score?

Your Karma Score is the total amount of Karma you have claimed. Karma is earned by completing specific activities on CoinList. All the Karma that you earn by completing these activities must be claimed to increase your Karma Score.


View my Karma »

How do I claim my Legacy Karma?

Your Legacy Karma is all the Karma you earned from the legacy Karma system. You will need to claim your Legacy Karma in order to transfer it to the new system. 


You can claim this Karma by logging in and going to the Karma page here. You will then see a claim available for "Legacy Karma" that has all the Karma you've earned from the legacy system. Simply claim and watch your Karma Score increase. Unclaimed Legacy Karma will expire May 15 at 23:59 UTC.


In case you're unable to claim, logging out of your CoinList account and logging back in should resolve the issue. If you still need further assistance, open a ticket with our support here.

What are Tiers?

Your Karma Score compared to other Karma earners places you in one of five Tiers: Rust, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum. 


Each Tier has a certain percentile of users, with Rust Tier being the bottom 40% of earners, and Platinum Tier being the top 5% of earners.


For Token Launches: Every single participant is randomly selected, but your Tier adds weight to the random selection. The higher your Tier, the higher the chance you get selected, though allocations are never guaranteed. For example, in one of our 2024 Token Launches, users in the Platinum Tier had 3x the chance to secure an allocation versus users in the Rust Tier.

How can I earn Karma?

You can earn Karma from Events and Achievements.


Events are activities that you can earn Karma from over a specified period of time. The Karma you earned during that event only becomes claimable once the event ends. If you don’t claim your Karma within 7 days after the event ends, this unclaimed Karma will expire.


Achievements are one-time claims awarded upon completing specific activities on CoinList, such as your first deposit, first trade, first stake, and more. Once an achievement is awarded, the Karma for that achievement becomes claimable.


Any Karma that you claim does not expire. Only unclaimed Karma may expire after a specified period of time.


See all the Events and Achievements you can earn Karma from today by logging into your Karma page here.

How do I improve my Tier?

Staying active and earning Karma keeps you ahead. The more engagement you have, the more Karma you can claim, and the higher your Tier can be.

Why did I lose my Tier?

Tiers are updated hourly so the Tier you are placed in after claiming Karma may change quickly depending on how much Karma others have earned as well.


Remember, your Tier is determined by your Karma Score compared to other earners. The best way to keep your Tier and stay ahead, is to stay engaged and keep earning.

I did a specific activity (eg: a trade) and my achievement is still not claimable?

In general, once you complete an activity that earns you Karma (eg: enabling 2FA, making a trade, etc.), that activity should be taken into account by the Karma system within a few seconds. If you are still unable to claim Karma from that activity after 30 minutes, please open a customer support ticket here.

Wallets

Can I fund my wallet or investments using my online exchange wallet?

Yes. 


For withdrawals, you should re-confirm the withdrawal address plus the network supported on both your 3rd party exchange wallet and CoinList prior to submitting a withdrawal. Exchanges have various policies for crypto deposits, and the sending addresses don't always match the receiving addresses. We recommend you designate a return address for which you hold the private keys. CoinList is not responsible for transfers being appropriately credited to your account at a 3rd party exchange. We advise you to double-check the warnings on both the exchange you are sending from and CoinList before making these transfers.


In the meantime, you can find our supported assets and blockchains here

Are my funds secure in CoinList Wallets?

Yes! CoinList works with a number of highly vetted 3rd party custodians and wallet providers including Anchorage, Bitgo, Gemini Custody, Finoa, Copper, Coinbase Prime, and Fortress Trust to ensure the security of your assets.

What's a wallet?

In general, a wallet is a program that enables users to send and receive digital currency and track their balances and transactions. They also store important security information: your public and private keys. There are several types of wallets: Hardware, Software, and Online. Hardware wallets store a user's private keys on a hardware device like a USB. Trezor and Ledger are popular hardware wallet brands. Software wallets run as an app on your phone or desktop. Online wallets run in the cloud and are accessible from any computer or smartphone in any location. 


CoinList offers online wallets. 


We also use the term "wallet" to describe your U.S. dollar account.

I transferred funds to/from the incorrect address. What do I do now?

Once you have confirmed a deposit to or withdrawal from your CoinList account, the transaction is initiated and sent to the blockchain. After withdrawals are initiated, the funds are no longer on CoinList's platform. Due to the nature of blockchains, these funds cannot be reversed or recovered by CoinList. 


Transactions in virtual currency may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. Please review the additional risks associated with investing in and sending cryptocurrencies by reading Risks of Investing in Virtual Currencies.


Supported Networks

CoinList currently only supports select networks. It is important to research the network you are using before placing a transfer. To see what networks CoinList supports, read our Supported Networks article. 


Why have I not received my withdrawal?

Visit our Status Page to check for any ongoing maintenance, delays and updates.


Is your withdrawal a large amount?

There may be a checkpoint in place to manually verify and approve your transaction if your withdrawal is beyond $10,000 USD. This is a security safety feature in place to ensure you are withdrawing to the correct address because once a withdrawal has left CoinList we are unable to recover funds.

This will be reviewed within 24 business hours.


Once a transaction has been pushed on-chain you will receive your Transaction Hash. Using this you will be able to track and monitor the transaction entering your nominated receiving address.




Each transfer will require a number of “confirmations” before the receiving address confirms the transfer as successful.

This may vary depending on the receiving wallet and token/blockchain used.


For example, on average;


  • Bitcoin requires 6 confirmations, this can take anywhere from five minutes to four hours depending on Bitcoin network activity.
  • Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens require 30 confirmations, which may take approximately five minutes. However, if the network is experiencing temporary congestion this may up to four hours or longer.

Where can I see the confirmations?

  • By clicking “View Transaction” in your CoinList wallet you can monitor this from the block explorer. For example, a transaction on Ethereum using Etherscan:

Sending Funds to an Incorrect Address or Chain

Which blockchains and assets are supported by CoinList?

      Supported Chain


Do not send funds in to CoinList via any other chain that is not supported, such as BEP20 or TRC20. If you do this you risk losing your funds.



Can my funds be recovered if I send tokens from an unsupported network?


We may be unable to perform a recovery of funds sent via the incorrect network. If we are able to recover the funds, there will be a charged fee. Please see our fee page for more information.


Please do not trust previous transactions you have made as a source for your deposit address. CoinList and other exchanges may update and change the receiving address on your account after it has been used.


Withdrew funds to the incorrect address?


Once you have confirmed a withdrawal from your CoinList account the transaction is initiated and sent to the blockchain, after this the funds are no longer on CoinList's platform. Due to the nature of blockchain these funds cannot be reversed or recovered by CoinList. If you know the end user of the address, please try and contact them for help retrieving funds.


Transactions in virtual currency may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. Please see the additional risks associated to investing in and sending cryptocurrencies here.


Memo ID


CSPR deposits require a number called the "tag," "memo," or "transfer ID" to be sent with your deposit in order for funds to be credited to your account. If you deposit CSPR without it, your deposit will be lost and cannot be reclaimed.


STX and SEI deposits also require a memo ID. It may be referred to as a "memo" or "tag" on other exchanges. Only deposit using wallets that support this field. If in doubt, start with a small test deposit.

What are the risks of purchasing virtual currencies?

  • virtual currency is not legal tender, is not backed by the government, and accounts and value balances are not subject to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Securities Investor Protection Corporation protections;
  • legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of virtual currency;

  • some virtual currency transactions shall be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that the customer initiates the transaction;
  • the value of virtual currency may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency for virtual currency, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular virtual currency should the market for that virtual currency disappear;
  • there is no assurance that a person who accepts a virtual currency as payment today will continue to do so in the future;
  • the volatility and unpredictability of the price of virtual currency relative to fiat currency may result in significant loss over a short period of time;
  • the nature of virtual currency may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyber attack; 
  • the nature of virtual currency means that any technological difficulties experienced by the licensee may prevent the access or use of a customer’s virtual currency; and

Managing my account

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA/2FA)

What is Multi-Factor Authentication?


CoinList use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), also known as Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for every account and most transactions, and we partner with top custodians like BitGo and Gemini Custody so your funds are safe. Funds held in cold storage are insured by our custodian partners' insurance policies. Best of all, crypto storage is free. We don’t charge any custody or wallet fees when using CoinList or the CoinList app.


How do I enable MFA?

In order to use CoinList wallets, you must set up device-based MFA. CoinList does not support SMS or phone-based MFA.


STEP 1

Download and install an authentication app for your phone or tablet. Some options:


STEP 2

Open the authentication app and follow the steps within the app for adding a new QR code. Scan the QR code image with your mobile device's camera and a new credential will be added to your authenticator app. 


Make sure to save the security/backup codes in a safe place. In the event that you lose access to your MFA device, these codes can be used to regain access to your account. The backup codes are unique to each account owner. 


STEP 3

Enter the six digit code where prompted and click the "Enable" button.



You are done! Now that MFA is enabled, you will need to enter a new 6-digit code generated by the authentication app every time you log in to your CoinList account. 


What if I get an invalid code error?

If you receive an invalid error code when enabling MFA, check that your authentication app and your mobile device’s current time zone are synced. Also ensure that the computer or device you’re setting up your CoinList account on is also synced to the correct time zone. Refreshing your CoinList account may also resolve the issue.


If you are still experiencing issues, create a new profile by clicking the "+" again on your app and try to add the QR code again. Clearing your cache and cookies may also resolve the issue. 


Security Page of Your CoinList Account

You can reach the Security page by selecting “Your Account” from the dashboard or by following this link: https://coinlist.co/accounts/security.  


If you did not save your backup codes when they were first provided, you can access them through the Security page of your CoinList account. If you lose access to your MFA device, these one-time codes will allow you to regain access to your account. 


What if I no longer have access to my MFA device or the backup codes?

If you no longer have access to your MFA device, you may be able to go through our automatic and fast-lane 2FA review process by selecting "Lost your 2FA code?" after logging in here: https://coinlist.co/login.




If you do not see this, please submit a support ticket here: https://coinlist.freshdesk.com/en/support/tickets/new for assistance and instructions. You will not be able to access your account until this process is complete. 


If you have lost access to your MFA device, do not attempt to create a new account. CoinList does not accept duplicate accounts. If you create a duplicate account, it will be closed and you will have to proceed with a MFA reset on your original account. 

 

Attempting to create a second account is in violation of our Terms of Service; Any violation of the Terms of Service may result in indefinite suspension of services and closure of a user's account.


Lost access to my 2FA device

If you have lost access to your 2FA device, you can use one of your account backup codes that you were asked to save after setting up two-factor authentication. If you no longer have access to these backup codes or have used all of them, please submit a support ticket.


Do not attempt to create a new account. CoinList does not accept duplicate accounts. If you create a duplicate account, it will be closed and you will have to proceed with a 2FA reset on your original account. Attempting to create a second account is in violation of our Terms of Service;  Any violation of the Terms of Service may result in indefinite suspension of services and closure of a user's account.

New Device Approval

Approve a New Device


CoinList requires that you approve a new device before you can access your account.

  • You will also be prompted to reapprove your device if you:
  • Clear the cache and cookies from your browser,
  • Are using your browser's "private browsing" or "incognito" mode,
  • Are using a VPN service or encrypted network,
  • Log in to the CoinList app.

To approve a device, start by logging into your account and entering your 6-digit authentication code. You will then be directed to a page informing you that CoinList has sent you an email. Access that email with the subject line “Approve your new device to log in” on the same device and browser. Click the Approve this device button in the email and you will be directed to your account.

This approval process must be started and completed on the same device, same browser, and at the same location.

It may take up to 10 minutes to receive this email. If you attempt to log in again, you may receive more than one email. Only the most recent new device approval email will be valid. If you do not receive the email, check your spam and other subfolders. You can whitelist emails from CoinList (team@coinlist.co) to prevent them from being flagged in the future.


You can watch the New Device Approval process here.

Step By Step Instructions to Approve a New Device


When you log into your CoinList account from a new device, you will be prompted to follow these steps.


Step 1

Log in to your CoinList account and enter your 6-digit authentication code.



Step 2

You will be directed to an “Approve new device” page informing you that CoinList has sent you an email. 




Step 3

Access this email from the same device, browser, and location. Upon opening the email, click the “Approve this device” button at the bottom.




Step 4

You will be directed to your account where you are now logged in. 


Trouble Approving a New Device


Troubleshooting Steps for the CoinList App

We currently recommend accessing your CoinList account through a web browser instead of the app. Nonetheless, if you are logging into the CoinList app using your phone or tablet, the “Approve this device” button in the email may open a browser instead of the CoinList app. This prevents the app from approving the device. Here are a few workarounds:


  • Try long-pressing the link. Your email may display an option for you to "open link" in the CoinList app.
  • Make sure you are using the most recent "New device approval" email that is sent to you after your login attempt.

If that doesn't work, follow the steps below specific to your type of device.

For iOS, copy the link from the email you received and paste it into a new Safari browser.

For Android: 


  • Go to your phone settings.
  • Search for "opening links".
  • Find "CoinList" under Installed Apps.
  • Select "allow app to open supported links" or "ask every time".

​Additional Troubleshooting


​If you did not receive the “New device approval” email, check your spam and other subfolders. You may whitelist emails from CoinList to prevent them from being flagged in the future.

After clicking the “Approve this device” button, wait at least 10 minutes to receive the approval email before clicking the button again. Only the most recent device approval email will be valid.


If you are having issues with device approval, do not create a new account. Attempting to create a second account is in violation of our Terms of Service. Any violation of the Terms of Service may result in an indefinite suspension of services and closure of a user's account.


If you're still having trouble approving a new device, please submit a support ticket.

Fil Lending

What is Filecoin Lending on CoinList?

Filecoin lending on CoinList is a way for you to put your FIL to work by simply lending your FIL to CoinList. The Filecoin ecosystem is very young and many network participants are in need of FIL to supplement their working capital. 


We are currently running the 35th FIL Lending Program through CoinList. Participants have one option to lend their FIL: 


1. A 180-day loan with no early termination. Participants will earn a fixed 8.0% annualized rewards rate for 180 days – a net 3.95% return.


The 37th lending period opens April 12th and closes May 1st.


Participants who lend their FIL for will receive their principal + accumulated interest denominated in FIL back into their CoinList wallets at the end of the loan term. 


The loan start date for all loans in the 37th lending program will be May 1st. Once all loans are deployed, you'll be able to track your loan with the loan dashboard in your CoinList Filecoin wallet. 

How much will I earn by participating?

In the 37th FIL Lending Program, participants have one option to lend their FIL: 


Option 1: 180 day loan with no early termination

  • Participants will earn a fixed 8.0% annualized rewards rate on the principal FIL lent to CoinList for 180 days, resulting in a fixed net 3.95% return.

How do I participate in Filecoin Lending on CoinList?

Participants have one option to lend their FIL through FIL Lending 37


Who is eligible to participate in FIL Lending?

All users from CoinList's supported jurisdictions, except residents of Belarus and Venezuela.


Users from certain unsupported jurisdictions can still participate but it requires a manual process to execute the loan. For that reason, we require external FIL lenders to lend a minimum of $50k worth of FIL. 


If you're in an unsupported jurisdiction and would like to participate, please email charlie@coinlist.co 

What is the minimum loan size to participate?

5 or 100 FIL depending on the program.

How is my FIL being lent out?

Your FIL is being lent out to trusted Filecoin network participants that have successfully onboarded with CoinList. This includes, but is not limited to, Filecoin storage miners and liquidity providers. 


All counterparties must pass KYC/AML and all loans issued are collateralized. 


When will I receive my funds back?

Here is the timeline for the 37th FIL Lending Program through CoinList:


April 12, 2023: Lending period opens 

May 1, 2023, 9:00 am PST: Lending period deadline 

May 1, 2023: Loan start date 

October 28, 2023: Principal + interest distributed back into CoinList wallets unless terminated at an earlier date


Lending will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Earlier loans will be prioritized over later loans. CoinList may close the loan period early based on lender demand. Once your loan has started, you will not be able to access that FIL until loan maturity. 

What assets can I use to participate in FIL Lending?

To participate, you must lend FIL to CoinList to participate. If you do not have FIL and would like to participate, you can purchase FIL on CoinList or CoinList Pro with USD, USDT, USDC, BTC, and/or ETH. 


Can I participate with unvested FIL?

You are only able to participate with vested FIL in the lending program. If you have additional FIL that is set to vest before the deadline,you may submit more loans as more FIL becomes vested.  Please visit our Help Center if you have additional questions. 


Where will my funds be held when they’re not being lent out?

Your FIL will be held at Gemini Custody, one of CoinList’s verified custodians.


Filecoin

How does Filecoin (FIL) vesting work?

If you participated in Filecoin's 2017 offering, your FIL will vest linearly on a block-by-block basis starting at mainnet launch, for the duration of your vesting period. For example, if your vesting schedule is 12 months, you will receive FIL on a block-by-block basis and each day receive approximately 1/365 of your FIL .

How do I self-custody my FIL?

In order to self-custody your FIL, please go to coinlist.co/filecoin and edit your custodian option under 'Distributing To'. You'll want to select Self-Custody. The easiest way to self-custody is to use the 'Glif and Ledger' option, which requires a Ledger hardware wallet. You'll see instructions on setting this up after selecting that option.


Detailed instructions on setting up your Ledger to receive FIL are here: https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/Self-Custodied-SAFT-Guide--A72a5~JLiLiNKPhdLQP3ZbNhAg-dHxZu59oAeSw03RrRpCrd

Is there a fee if I custody with CoinList?

There are no fees for using CoinList Wallets to receive your FIL tokens.

CoinList Wallets

Your Filecoin will be held in your CoinList wallet. From there you will be able to transfer, trade, and deposit additional Filecoin vested Filecoin. Your balance of available (vested) Filecoin will be displayed alongside your unvested (unavailable) Filecoin held in your vesting actor. 


Your CoinList wallet is built on Gemini Custody’s infrastructure. When you input a transaction, we pass this information to Gemini for execution. 


There is no fee to store your Filecoin in your CoinList wallet. 


What is the vesting schedule?

Vesting occurs linearly on a block-by-block basis. In each block, an incremental amount of your FIL will become available and claimable according to your individual vesting schedule (6, 12, 24, or 36 months). 


Can I use CoinList Wallets if I see that CoinList is not available in my state?

We are currently licensed to operate our wallets and trading in many states. We are working on licensure for the following states and territories:

  • Alaska
  • Hawaii
  • Minnesota
  • Nevada
  • New York
  • Puerto Rico
  • Virgin Islands, U.S.
  • Washington 

If you reside in one of the above states or territories, please see here for instructions on setting up an account with Gemini: https://coinlist.co/help/what-additional-information-do-i-need-to-provide-to-use-coinlist-wallets-through-a-gemini-subaccount

Can I trade my unvested FIL?

No, you may not trade your unvested FIL. You can only trade available FIL and it must be in your CoinList Pro account. CoinList will claim your FIL from your vesting actor once per day, and then it will be available to trade. 


What are my custody options for FIL?

By default, tokens will go to into CoinList Wallets:


  • CoinList Wallets are built on top of world-class custodians to ensure security
  • Custody is free and seamless
  • Plug right into CoinList Pro, which will have one of the deepest markets for FIL trading

If you live in a state that we currently do not support, you can still use CoinList Wallets but we'll require some more information (more information here)


Users can also opt into leading custodians - if you are an existing customer of Anchorage, Coinbase Custody, or Gemini Custody, you can receive your FIL tokens directly into your account with one of those custodians. 


Users can also self-custody (more information here)

What are the fees for trading FIL?

Filecoin trading is subject to the same fee schedule as any other asset on CoinList and CoinList Pro. You can view the up to date fee schedule on coinlist.co/fees


What is a vesting actor?

A vesting actor is a type of smart contract on the Filecoin blockchain. The vesting actor manages the release and vesting of your original Filecoin purchase. According to the vesting schedule in your SAFT, Filecoin will be released and can be transferred from the vesting actor. Vesting occurs on a block by block basis. 


What additional information do I need to provide to use CoinList wallets through a Gemini subaccount?

If you live in a state or territory where we are yet to finalize our licensure, we have provided an alternate solution for CoinList wallets. If you chose to use CoinList Wallets, you will be provided a sub-account at Gemini. Once you complete the additional verification, your holdings will be accessible via your CoinList account. Upon mainnet launch, you will be able to deposit and withdraw your FIL holdings via CoinList but will not be able to trade on CoinList.


In order to get set up with a sub-account, you’ll need to go through Gemini’s verification process. Please follow these instructions:


-If you have a Gemini account associated with this email address, no action is required


-If you do not have a Gemini account, please set one up here: https://exchange.gemini.com/register 


-If you have a Gemini account, but it’s under a different email address, please set up a new account using this email address at https://exchange.gemini.com/register


Please note that these tokens will be accessible through the CoinList site (and not through Gemini). 

Are there fees to withdraw Filecoin from my CoinList Wallet?

There is no withdrawal fee for Filecoin; however, users must pay network fees to withdraw their Filecoin. This network fee is determined by Gemini Custody and may change from time to time. Please review coinlist.co/fees for the most up to date information on the current Filecoin Network fees. 


I am using CoinList Wallets through a sub-account with Gemini. What CoinList services do I have access to?

If you are using a Gemini sub-account through CoinList Wallets, you have full functionality to store, withdraw, and deposit Filecoin through coinlist.co. You are not able to trade Filecoin on CoinList at this time. Once we have the appropriate licensure, we will give you the opportunity to switch from a Gemini sub-account to a full CoinList account. 


How frequently does my vested Filecoin become available in my wallet?

Your vested Filecoin will be swept from the vesting actor to your CoinList wallet daily. This happens automatically and there are no actions required by you. This cadence may change over time depending on network conditions and costs. For the first 24-48 hours post-mainnet launch these sweeps will be performed approximately once every 5 hours. The minimum amount that will be swept each day will be 0.5 FIL. 



I signed up for CoinList Wallets, but now want to use a third party custodian or self-custody. Can I switch?

Yes. You may switch from using CoinList to manage your distribution to a self-custody or a 3rd party custodian. This process is manual and may require up to 3 weeks to process and includes a $500 processing fee incurred by Gemini. You will have to withdraw any already vested Filecoin in your CoinList wallet after the transfer has been processed. 


Please visit our Help Center if you wish to transfer your vesting actor. 


I signed up for 3rd party custody, but now want to use CoinList wallets. Can I switch?

Yes. The Filecoin network allows you to transfer the private keys of your vesting actor. Please contact your custody provider and visit our Help Center to start this process. There may be additional fees associated with this action. 


Nomad Wallet Link

How do I link?

Following KYC verification, you will be prompted to link one or more of your Ethereum wallets using a Metamask or WalletConnect browser extension. The wallet address that you link MUST be the same address that you bridge assets back from (e.g., users with address "0x123...abc" on Evmos can only bridge back to "0x12...abc" on Ethereum - the sending wallet address and receiving wallet address must be the same).


Please note that Wallet Link does not currently support multisig/smart contract wallets. If you are a DAO or individual needing to link a multisig wallet to your KYC’d identity, please reach out to nomad-recovery@coinlist.co from your Coinlist-associated email and we’ll be more than happy to assist.

Do I need to KYC verify in order to be considered by Nomad for the recovery effort?

Yes. You are required to successfully complete KYC and link/verify an eligible wallet address in order to be considered by Nomad for the recovery effort. If you are using an existing CoinList account and have already KYC-verified on our platform, there is no need to resubmit an application - you will be taken directly to the wallet linking step.

What if I already have an existing CoinList account?

If you have previously registered with CoinList and submitted a KYC application on our platform, please use your existing account to register with Nomad. After navigating to the registration link, sign in with your CoinList and select your previously verified entity when prompted to - this will take you to the wallet linking step and there is no need to resubmit your information.

Who will CoinList share my address with?

CoinList will share the KYC verification status of accounts and their linked wallet addresses with Nomad to determine eligibility for the recovery of funds. CoinList will not share wallet addresses with any other third parties.

Will I be able to KYC if I live in a country or state not currently supported by CoinList?

Yes, all users will be able to complete a KYC verification check irrespective of their residence, provided users are not associated with OFAC-sanctioned countries. Users who reside in unsupported jurisdictions will be able to access the Nomad Offering link, submit a KYC application, and link their wallet; however, they will not be able to access the CoinList platform (e.g., trading, deposits, staking, token sales).


If you reside in an unsupported jurisdiction and are having trouble completing KYC verification, submit a support ticket here.

What is Wallet Linking?

Wallet Linking is a mechanism that allows you to connect your non-custodial wallet to your CoinList account. This gives CoinList permission to link your wallet address with your KYC verification status and will enable Nomad to allow affected users to access recovered funds in a compliant manner. 

What happens when I unlink my wallet?

When you unlink your wallet, we remove your wallet address and any information related to it from our database. However, CoinList will create a hash using your wallet address in order to identify future multiple linking attempts for security reasons. Unlinked wallet addresses will also be removed from the on-chain Nomad allowlist.

How do I unlink my wallet?

You can unlink the wallet addresses associated with your accounts at any time here.

How are my wallet addresses kept safe at CoinList?

CoinList takes maintaining the security of user information seriously and stores all user data in secure servers. Information is protected with multiple layers of controls. CoinList utilizes a multi-layered security approach leveraging industry standard security controls such as minimal privilege access design, encryption of data at risk, BCrypt password hashing for user credentials and MFA support, internal use of multi-factor authentication, employee background checks and more.

Privacy Policy

You can find CoinList’s privacy policy here.

What if I have multiple wallets that were affected by the hack?

Please note that as of April 20, 2023 CoinList only allows users to select one of their linked wallets during the Nomad Recovery registration flow. While you may link multiple wallets to your CoinList account, only one will be considered by the Nomad team. As a result, please make sure to consolidate your madAssets into a single wallet address before linking.


Users who linked multiple wallets prior to April 20, 2023 will not be affected.



Tax

Where can I find my tax forms?

Log into your CoinList account, navigate to Account > Tax Documents > Click the link to download your document(s).


If you do not have any documents available you will see the following message: "There are no tax documents available from CoinList at this time. If you are a U.S. person or entity, we will notify you via email if and when additional documents become available".


Will CoinList provide me with a 1099-B?

CoinList will also provide you with a Form 1099-B. This form reports to you all taxable cryptocurrency transactions (for example, sell for fiat or crypto-for-crypto trade) and corresponding proceeds, cost basis where available, and resulting gain/(loss) information for each taxable transaction. More information on cryptocurrency transactions can be found here

Will CoinList provide me with a 1099-MISC?

CoinList will provide you with a Form 1099-MISC. This form reports to you and the IRS any income generated from activities such as airdrops, staking, referrals, etc. in excess of $600.

How do I complete form 8949 using the form 1099-B?

Understanding Form 1099-B and 8949


CoinList is on a mission to make cryptocurrency taxes as seamless as possible. CoinList provides all users that incurred a taxable disposition with a 1099-B, which itemizes all known taxable transactions. Similar to traditional equities, taxpayers are responsible for transposing the information on the 1099-B onto an IRS 8949. CoinList has partnered with TaxBit to automate and simplify the process of transposing your 1099-B onto your IRS 8949. Whether you only traded on CoinList, or you traded on multiple exchanges, completing your crypto taxes has never been easier.


This guide explains how to transpose your 1099-B onto your IRS 8949.


CoinList Was the Only Exchange I Traded On

If all of your assets were acquired and stored on CoinList’s platform then your 1099-B will be complete. The 1099-B provides you with all of your taxable events and can be directly transposed onto your IRS 8949 and filed. CoinList provides a courtesy copy of the IRS 8949 if all of a user’s acquisition information is known.




I Traded On Multiple Exchanges

If you acquired cryptocurrency on a third-party platform and transferred assets onto CoinList then your acquisition information may not be known. It is your responsibility to enter your acquisition information on IRS Form 8949 for assets that were acquired on another platform and were subsequently disposed of on CoinList. You will complete two IRS 8949’s. One that includes your known cost basis transactions and another for transactions that were missing cost basis.




Transpose Known Cost Basis Onto IRS Form 8949

The first step is to transpose transactions that have a known cost basis onto your IRS 8949. You will check box “A” for these transactions because cost basis information is known on Form 1099-B.




Transpose Missing Cost Basis Transactions on Seperate Form 8949

If a transaction is missing acquisition information then you will transpose the transactions onto a separate IRS 8949 tax form. You will check box “B” indicating that the acquisition occurred off platform and therefore was not reported on the 1099-B.




Methods to Completing IRS 8949

There are two methods to filling in missing cost basis information and completing your IRS 8949’s: 1) link your TaxBit account; or 2) manually enter the information. 


 (i) Link TaxBit Account (Recommended)

The easiest way to complete your IRS 8949 is to link your TaxBit account. TaxBit has a seamless integration with CoinList, as well as over a hundred other exchanges, allowing you to aggregate your trading activity across platforms. TaxBit automates the process of transposing your 1099-B onto an IRS 8949. Missing cost basis transactions that were acquired off of CoinList’s platform will automatically populate and your IRS 8949 tax forms can be downloaded from your account.


 (ii) Manually Enter Information

You can also solve missing cost basis information by manually entering the information on your IRS 8949’s. When manually filling-in missing cost basis information it is important to keep detailed records to substantiate the information reported.

What is US tax form 8949?

The IRS requires that details of cryptocurrency transactions that qualify as a gain or loss to be reported on Form 8949, “Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets”.

What is the US tax form 1099-B and what do I do with it?

The US tax form 1099-B provides transactional information detailing capital gains and losses from disposing of capital assets. At this time, cryptocurrency is classified and treated as property. 

 

When you sell something for more than it cost you to acquire it, the profit is a capital gain and may be taxable. On the other hand, if you sell something for less than you paid for it, then you may have a capital loss and a reduction of your taxable capital gains or other income is possible. 

 

  • The transactional details found on your 1099-B are used to fill out your IRS 8949. 
  • A summary of the capital gains or losses from these transactions are reported on Form 1040 (Schedule D) of your tax return.


Your CoinList Form 1099-B will detail each asset you sold throughout the year with CoinList and report your cost basis, when available, for the assets you bought and sold on the platform. 

What is the US tax form 1099-MISC and what do I do with it?

For U.S. taxpayers, the IRS requires companies that make certain types of payments to provide the recipient of such payments and the IRS with a 1099-MISC. This form provides information for a wide range of income payments such as crypto interest, referral bonuses, and other income.

 

  • For US clients, if you’ve earned $600 or more this year in crypto interest and bonuses, the 1099-MISC form will be made available to you by January 31, 2023.
  • U.S. taxpayers will need to report this income within their tax filing.


Who is TaxBit and how can they simplify Form 8949?

If you are interested in assistance with the forms described above, TaxBit and CoinList have joined forces to streamline the process of generating Form 8949. TaxBit will automate the process and provide a single aggregated view of all your CoinList cryptocurrency transactions and balances in one place.

 

The completed forms including synced transactions will be available for download through TaxBit and can be used when filing your tax return. Built by CPAs, tax attorneys and developers, TaxBit calculates the cost basis and corresponding gains or losses on every transaction. A full-audit trail will be provided so that users, accountants, and auditors can drill down into any transaction to see exactly how the gain or loss was calculated. TaxBit will not file your tax return for you. Please consult with your tax advisor. Learn more about TaxBit.

Identity Re-verification

How do I start my re-verification

To begin, simply log in to your CoinList account and follow the re-verification instructions on your home dashboard.

What do I have to provide to re-verify my account?

Government ID, updated selfie, and proof of address documentation issued within the last 3 months.

How long will the process take?

Re-verification should take less than 5 minutes to complete, after which you’ll be able to transact as usual on the CoinList platform.

Is my account banned?

No. Your assets remain safe on the CoinList platform, and you may continue all activities following re-verification.

Why do I need to re-verify my account?

From time to time, CoinList is required to re-verify all users of the CoinList platform to confirm the following:

  • Transactions are in line with what is expected based on CoinList’s existing knowledge of the client; and
  • To refresh user’s due diligence to ensure documentation is kept up-to-date and that the risk category applied to a client is either the same as it was when they were onboarded or is amended to reflect any changes that may have occurred since onboarding.

What happens if I don’t re-verify?

Your account will be held in ‘withdraw only’ status until re-verification is complete. Please note that your assets are safe at all times.

What if I have more questions?

Should you have any more questions, please submit a support ticket here.

Governance

How do I participate in Snapshot governance via CoinList?

You can participate in Snapshot governance on CoinList if you hold $50 worth of the supported tokens in your CoinList Wallet at the time of each proposal’s governance snapshot (start date/time of the proposal). Please note, your balances in CoinList Pro will not count towards your available voting balance at this time. There will be a snapshot for every proposal that determines your voting power for each proposal. To participate, go to coinlist.co/governance, select the proposal, and vote during the voting period.


Will I earn CoinList Karma through participation in governance proposals on Snapshot based protocols through CoinList Governance?

Participating in CoinList Governance earns eligible users Karma in two forms: 


  • Governance Starter Karma
    Participate in a single governance vote on CoinList, and you will earn a one-time Karma boost of 100 Governance Starter Karma points (available only once per user).
  • Governance Weekly Karma
    Users may receive 25 Karma for each proposal on which you vote through CoinList Governance thereafter, capped at 50 pts a week. Weekly Karma is issued once a week on Monday and expires after 18-weeks. Governance Weekly Karma will be awarded within a week of the applicable voting period closing.


See https://coinlist.co/help/how-is-karma-awarded for more details 


Are my voting tokens locked during the CoinList voting period?

No, as the governance snapshot is taken before the voting period, you can move your tokens during the voting period. Your voting power for the proposal remains constant during the voting period based on how many tokens you held at the time of the governance snapshot.  


How is my voting power affected if I participate in Snapshot governance via CoinList?

As CoinList’s voting power is based on the amount of tokens CoinList had delegated to governance at the time of each proposal’s snapshot time, if the amount of voting power that actively participates in a vote exceeds CoinList’s delegated voting power, users’ votes may be diluted down proportionately.


Example: Assume 1 token amounts to 1 vote and CoinList delegates 100,000 tokens at the time of the snapshot, representing 100,000 votes.

 

If 1,000 CoinList users with 200 tokens each vote (representing 200,000 votes), CoinList’s vote will dilute each CoinList voters’ voting power by 50% as CoinList will only be able to submit 100,000 votes, rather than the 200,000 votes. 


CoinList will do its best to ensure there are sufficient funds delegated and that this scenario is prevented as much as possible. Note that any tokens held on CoinList at the time of the snapshot will only be able to vote through CoinList, as the time to move the tokens to a wallet with the capacity for a direct vote will have passed at the time you make your voting selection through CoinList.




On the flipside, in the event that CoinList users' voting power does not meet the CoinList’s delegated voting power, CoinList will allocate the excess voting power to abstain from such vote to ensure CoinList does not misrepresent users’ intentions or otherwise influence the vote results. 


Example: Assume for a particular proposal that 1 $token  amounts to 1 vote and CoinList delegates 100,000 tokens at the time of the snapshot, representing 100,000 votes.


If only 500 CoinList users with 100 tokens each vote (representing 50,000 votes), CoinList will abstain from the vote for 50,000 of the votes it had delegated to governance for the proposal so as to accurately reflect CoinList users’ preferences.


What are potential drawbacks of voting via CoinList for Snapshot based protocols?

1. Users’ votes may be diluted down proportionately on CoinList as CoinList doesn’t delegate all of its tokens for governance. As CoinList’s voting power is based on the amount of tokens delegated at the time of each proposal’s snapshot, if the amount of voting power that actively participates in a vote exceeds CoinList’s voting power, users’ votes may be diluted down proportionately.


Example: Assume 1 token amounts to 1 vote and CoinList delegates 100,000 tokens at the time of the snapshot, representing 100,000 votes.

 

If 1,000 CoinList users with 200 tokens each vote (representing 200,000 votes), CoinList’s vote will dilute each CoinList voters’ voting power by 50% as CoinList will only be able to submit 100,000 votes, rather than the 200,000 votes represented by those 200 tokens. 


CoinList will do its best to ensure there are sufficient funds delegated and that this scenario is prevented as much as possible. Note that any tokens held on CoinList at the time of the snapshot will only be able to vote through CoinList, as the time to move the tokens to a wallet with the capacity for a direct vote will have passed when you make your voting selection through CoinList.


2. CoinList will submit its vote 12-24 hours before each proposal period ends. You will no longer be able to submit a vote once CoinList closes its internal vote and submits its vote on-chain. Thus, the CoinList voting period is slightly shorter than the on-chain voting period.


3. Other token holders will not be able to delegate their voting power to you if you vote through CoinList. Additionally, your wallet will not be associated with the vote. 


When can I participate in Snapshot based governance via CoinList?

You can participate in each proposal’s governance during CoinList’s voting period for each proposal, as CoinList determines in its sole and absolute discretion. CoinList will publish proposals within approximately one hour of the proposal being published by the applicable protocol. CoinList will submit its vote 12-24 hours before each on-chain proposal voting period ends. You will no longer be able to submit a vote once CoinList closes its internal vote and submits its vote on-chain. Thus, the CoinList voting period is at least 12 hours shorter than the on-chain voting period.


Can I participate in Snapshot governance both on CoinList and on-chain with the same tokens?

No, you cannot participate in governance both on-chain and off-chain with the same tokens, as your voting power is only calculated once, at the time of the snapshot.


Can I vote with my unvested tokens on CoinList?

No, your unvested tokens on CoinList will not count towards your voting power.


How does Snapshot-based governance work?

To learn more about Snapshot based governance, you can visit Snapshot’s official docs

https://docs.snapshot.org/


Who can participate in Snapshot governance via CoinList?

Users who hold $50 worth of supported tokens in their CoinList Wallet at the time of the proposal’s governance snapshot will be able to participate. Please note that users in certain jurisdictions will not be able to hold supported tokens in their CoinList Wallet due to regulatory constraints. Additionally, user balances in CoinList Pro will not count towards their available voting balance at this time. 


Will CoinList participate in every governance proposal for Snapshot based protocols?

No, CoinList will not participate in every governance proposal. CoinList reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to decide which proposals that it will make available through CoinList Governance. 


How does CoinList’s governance product work for Snapshot based protocols?

CoinList tallies up all CoinList voters’ decisions and submits everything in one single vote. CoinList’s supported Snapshot-based protocols use Snapshot’s weighted voting strategy to ensure CoinList’s single vote accurately reflects its users’ preferences.


Example: if 40% of CoinList users submit yes, 25% of CoinList users submit no, and 35% of CoinList users abstain, then CoinList will submit a single weighted vote that reflects 40% yes, 25% no, and 35% abstain. 


Getting started with CoinList

Verify your identity

CoinList requires all accounts to complete identity verification for legal compliance and fraud prevention. Your CoinList account will be limited from certain activities on the platform until your identity has been successfully verified.


How do I start verifying my identity?


When creating a CoinList account, you will be asked to start the identity verification process during the account setup steps. This is a requirement for all new users creating a CoinList account and you will not be able to continue to the platform until this has been completed and your identity has been verified. If you already have a CoinList account but have not verified your identity yet, you will be prompted to start your identity verification on your dashboard.


During this process, you may need to provide sensitive information including but not limited to name, address, a government-issued ID, and a selfie. Read more about our Privacy Policy.


Why was my identity not verified?


If your identity was not verified, it was because either you live in one of our unsupported countries & states where CoinList is not available at this time, or because your information that was processed for review did not pass one or more identity verification and KYC/AML (Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering) checks. We do these checks to protect CoinList and our community from fraudulent users. You can learn more about KYC/AML in our Terms of Service.


If you are facing any issues with the verification process, do not attempt to create a new account using a different email address to re-try verification. Attempting to create a second account is in violation of our Terms of Service;  Any violation of the Terms of Service may result in indefinite suspension of services and closure of a user's account. Instead, if you believe there was a mistake in your identity verification, submit a support ticket.

Set up two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an additional layer of security used to confirm your access to your account by requiring two forms of authentication. CoinList requires 2FA to be enabled for every account and you will be asked to provide this second form of authentication every time you log in.


How do I set up 2FA?


When creating a CoinList account, you will be asked to set up two-factor authentication. This is a requirement for creating a CoinList account and you will not be able to continue to the platform without setting this up.


Step 1. Download an authentication app of your choice on your mobile device. We recommend popular authentication apps like Google Authenticator, Duo Mobile, or Authy.


Step 2. Once the authentication app is downloaded, open the app and click the “+” icon to add a new account. You will then be given the option to either scan a QR code or enter a setup key manually. It is easier for most people to scan the QR code, however if that is not an available option to you, choose to enter the key manually and copy and paste the setup key shown on CoinList into your app.


Step 3. Once your CoinList account is successfully added to your authentication app, you will see a numeric code being generated for your CoinList account. Copy this code and paste it into the “Authentication code” input on CoinList to finish setting up 2FA.


You will be asked to save your backup codes. Make sure to save your backup codes in a safe place. Your backup codes can help you log into your account in the event that you lose access to your authentication device. These backup codes are unique to each account owner.


Having trouble?


If you are running into issues when submitting your authentication code on CoinList, check that your authentication app and your mobile device’s current time zone are synced. Also ensure that the computer or device you are setting up your CoinList account on is also synced to the correct time zone. Refreshing your CoinList account, clearing cache and cookies may also resolve the issue.


If you are still experiencing issues, repeat steps 2 and 3 in the How do I set up 2FA? section above, or try downloading a different authentication app to set up 2FA with. Be sure to visit the help pages of the authentication app you are using as well for more guidance.
