Quick take

• The ODIN token at address 0xd96402a945ad7405d84cec6b16483f8bd68b842f on BNB Chain is obsolete and has held no value since April 21, 2022 (18:00 CET), due to migration to Odin Protocol’s Cosmos-based mainnet.
• The migration window to swap BNB Chain ODIN for Mainnet ODIN closed on December 10, 2022.
• If you buy ODIN on BNB Chain today, you cannot exchange it for the active mainnet token.

What changed and when

• April 2021: ODIN launched on BNB Chain (BSC), initially trading via an ODIN/BNB pool on PancakeSwap.
• April 21, 2022 (18:00 CET): Odin Protocol completed migration to its own Cosmos-based mainnet; BSC ODIN became unsupported.
• December 10, 2022: Final deadline for holders to migrate eligible BSC ODIN to Mainnet ODIN.

Why ODIN moved off BNB Chain

Odin Protocol transitioned to a dedicated Layer-1 built with the Cosmos SDK to pursue its roadmap for decentralized, AI-powered applications and data services. The team’s focus now centers on building an AI-to-Consumer (AI2C) ecosystem that prioritizes data ownership, privacy, and ethical innovation. Learn more on the official site: Odin Protocol.

What the BNB Chain token used to do

When ODIN lived on BNB Chain, holders could use it for:

• Governance: Voting on validators and protocol decisions.
• Payments: Purchasing data within the Odin ecosystem.
• Validator staking: Becoming validators by staking ODIN.
• Delegation: Delegating tokens to validators to share in fees.

The BSC token had a 100 million cap and used a deflationary model with dynamic transaction taxes and burns. That design is no longer relevant because the BSC token is unsupported.

Migration details (historical reference)

During the migration, holders locked (effectively burned) their BSC ODIN and received Mainnet ODIN on Cosmos, typically using a MetaMask wallet for the BSC side and a Keplr wallet for the Cosmos side. This window is now closed; late purchases on BNB Chain after April 21, 2022, are not eligible and hold no value.

ODIN today on Cosmos

Odin Protocol operates as an L1 on Cosmos. Its native ODIN token on the mainnet is used for:

• Paying transaction fees.
• Staking to become a validator.
• Delegation and staking participation.
• Governance in the protocol’s AI-driven framework.
• Paying for AI dApps within the ecosystem.

The circulating supply on Cosmos is approximately 17 million.

Trading and liquidity caution on BNB Chain

You may still encounter BNB Chain activity involving ODIN pairs (e.g., WBNB swaps) or see listings on aggregators. However:

• The BSC ODIN at 0xd96402a945ad7405d84cec6b16483f8bd68b842f is unsupported and cannot be swapped to mainnet ODIN.
• Purchases made after April 21, 2022, have no value.

If you want to inspect current on-chain activity or historical markets on BNB Chain, you can review tools and platforms such as PancakeSwap, explorers like BscScan, and analytics/trading dashboards like GMGN.AI. Use these strictly for research and risk assessment; do not buy the obsolete BSC token.

Some data sources still show ODIN pricing on various networks due to its multi-chain history (e.g., Cosmos and Osmosis). Always confirm whether you are looking at the Cosmos mainnet asset versus the obsolete BSC token before taking action.

How to verify you’re looking at the obsolete BNB Chain token

• Contract address check: It’s the BSC token if it matches 0xd96402a945ad7405d84cec6b16483f8bd68b842f.
• Chain check: If you see ODIN on BNB Chain, assume it’s the unsupported legacy asset.
• Official site confirmation: Refer to Odin Protocol for current network and token details.
• Wallet/network context: Mainnet ODIN lives on Cosmos (viewed via Cosmos-compatible wallets such as Keplr).

FAQs

• Can I still migrate my BNB Chain ODIN to mainnet?
  No. The migration window closed on December 10, 2022.

• I see a very cheap ODIN on BNB Chain. Should I buy it?
  No. The BSC ODIN is unsupported and has no value.

• Where can I find the active ODIN token?
  On Odin Protocol’s Cosmos mainnet. Check the official site, Cosmos ecosystem resources, and trusted Cosmos wallets/dapps to interact with the live token.

• Which platforms can I use to research ODIN activity?
  For historical BNB Chain activity, you can check PancakeSwap and analytics views like GMGN.AI. For the active mainnet token, use Cosmos-native tooling and the Odin Protocol’s official resources.

Bottom line

The BNB Chain ODIN at 0xd96402a945ad7405d84cec6b16483f8bd68b842f is a historical artifact. Odin Protocol’s live token and network now run on Cosmos, powering validator staking, governance, and AI dApp payments. If you engage with ODIN, make sure you are on the Cosmos mainnet—and avoid any purchases of the obsolete BSC token.
