# Migration Process

> Step-by-step guide to the token migration process

## Migration Process Flow

The Shift.fun migration process is designed to be simple, secure, and transparent. Here's how it works:

    participant Users as Token Holders

    Admin->>App: Create Migration Entry

    App->>Chain: Deploy Migration Contract
    Chain-->>App: Return Migration Address
    
    Users->>App: Transfer Tokens to Migration
    App->>Chain: Track Token Collection

    Chain-->>App: Return New Token Address
    App->>Chain: Distribute New Tokens to Holders
    Chain-->>Users: Transfer New Tokens
```

## Migration Lifecycle Phases

### **Phase 1: Admin Setup & Configuration**

<Steps>
  <Step title="Migration Creation">
    Admin creates new migration entry with token details including:

    * Source token address and metadata
    * Target platform configuration (Meteora)
    * Migration parameters and settings
    * Community information and contact details
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wallet Generation">
    System generates secure migration wallet for token collection:

    * Unique wallet address for each migration
    * Multi-signature security for fund protection
    * Real-time balance monitoring
    * Transaction validation and verification
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configuration">
    Set migration parameters and target platform settings:

    * Migration countdown timer
    * Minimum participation thresholds
    * Fee structure and revenue sharing
    * Platform integration settings
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verification">
    Validate token address and migration requirements:

    * Token contract verification
    * Metadata validation
    * Community authenticity check
    * Anti-scam verification
  </Step>
</Steps>

### **Phase 2: Token Collection & Tracking**

<Steps>
  <Step title="User Transfers">
    Token holders transfer tokens to migration wallet:

    * Connect Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, etc.)
    * View current token balance
    * Enter migration amount
    * Approve and send transaction
  </Step>

  <Step title="Real-time Monitoring">
    Track collection progress and token balances:

    * Live balance updates

  </Step>

  <Step title="Progress Updates">
    Display collection percentage to users:

    * Visual progress indicators
    * Countdown timer display
    * Community participation stats
    * Migration status updates
  </Step>

  <Step title="Validation">
    Verify token transfers and ownership:

    * Transaction verification

    * Calculate user entitlements
    * Verify original token holdings
    * Process claim calculations
    * Prepare distribution data
  </Step>

  <Step title="Distribution">
    Transfer new tokens to original holders:

    * Execute token transfers
    * Send new tokens to users
    * Verify successful distribution
    * Update user balances
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verification">
    Confirm successful token distribution:

    * Verify all transfers
    * Check user balances
    * Confirm successful migration
    * Update migration status
  </Step>

  <Step title="Completion">
    Mark migration as completed and update status:
