Yes, that is correct.
The HNT (HiveNet Token) is an ERC-20 compliant token on the Ethereum blockchain, which is used for funding.
When the mainnet launches, we will swap HNT 1:1 into HVC (HiveCoins).
HiveCoins are the inherent currency of the HiveNet.
Looking at the road map of public token sales in November 2019, mainnet will be launched right in 2021 Q4, do we have to wait 2 years to swap?
Does this mean that for the past 2 years the HNT token will not be listed exchange? after swapping HNT to HVC, does it enter the exchange?
