3 days until the ECX Bitcoin snapshot - final reminder to check your wallet and prepare for the ECX claim
Only 3 days remain until the ECX Bitcoin snapshot. Review your wallet, confirm your Bitcoin addresses, secure your backups, and complete your final preparation before the snapshot.

The Snapshot Is Almost Here

There are now only three days remaining until the official Bitcoin snapshot.

This is not the time for major changes. Instead, confirm that everything is already in place so you're ready when the snapshot block is reached.

Final Three-Day Checklist

Before the snapshot, confirm the following:

✅ Your Bitcoin is stored in the wallet you intend to use.

✅ You still have access to that wallet.

✅ Your Recovery Phrase or Private Key is backed up securely.

✅ You've checked your eligible Bitcoin addresses.

✅ You've read the guide for your wallet.

✅ You understand how the ECX claim process works.

Avoid Last-Minute Changes

Unless absolutely necessary, avoid making significant changes during these final days.

We recommend that you do not:

  • move Bitcoin between wallets;
  • create a new wallet;
  • restore your wallet on unfamiliar software;
  • use unofficial claim websites;
  • wait until the last minute to read the instructions.

Keeping your setup stable is the safest approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I move my Bitcoin now?

If your Bitcoin is already where you want it to be and you control the wallet, avoid unnecessary transfers during the final days before the snapshot.

Can I still check my eligibility?

Yes. The ECX Claim Checker remains available and only requires your public Bitcoin address.

Is there anything new I need to do?

For most users, no. This is simply a final opportunity to confirm that your wallet, backups, and preparation are complete.

You're Almost Ready

Only a few days remain until the Bitcoin snapshot. Review your final checklist, stay alert for phishing websites, and make sure you're using only the official Claim eCash portal.
