Short answer
KIMA token holders can convert at 5 KIMA per 1 AERX through StablePro Wallet. August 1, 2026 remains the visible transfer-page deadline, but the July 23 AMA says the team will decide on any extension after the final smart-contract unlock and give holders necessary time. KIMA deposited is described as burned permanently, and converted AERX vests over 48 months.
Earlier Aeredium material described June as the window and July 1 as the token cutoff. The June 5 AMA softened that deadline, the StablePro transfer page later showed August 1, and the July 23 AMA makes the extension decision dependent on final staking and claim-contract unlocks.
KIMA conversion at a glance
What KIMA is and why it is transitioning
Kima Network built TSS-based bridgeless cross-chain settlement: the ability to move value between blockchains and payment systems without wrapped tokens, without smart contracts on the sending chain, and without a centralised operator. That technology is being migrated into Aeredium's execution layer rather than operating as a standalone protocol; the June 25 AMA clarified that AERLink/Kima-derived bank-rail work is still being reprogrammed into Aeredium.
The transition is positioned as strategic continuity, not a wind-down. White paper v3.7 describes the intended Kima merger architecture: Kima-derived cross-chain settlement intended to run as Trust Contracts under AERKey threshold signing. The June 25 AMA adds an important status note: AERLink is still in R&D/reprogramming from Cosmos into Aeredium, so bank-rail and API claims should be treated as migration work rather than live Aeredium production infrastructure.
For KIMA token holders, the practical consequence is the conversion window. Kima as a technology continues, while the StablePro transfer route for the legacy token shows August 1, 2026 as the visible date and the July 23 AMA says extension timing is still pending final contract unlocks.
Conversion details: what the official documents say
42,000,000 AERX reserved for KIMA holders
Tokenomics v3.9 allocates 42,000,000 AERX specifically for the KIMA Community Conversion. This is 4.2% of the total 1,000,000,000 AERX hard cap. Prior tokenomics material and AMA guidance describe the conversion rate as 5 KIMA per 1 AERX.
June 1-30 was the original conversion window; August 1 is visible now
Prior tokenomics material described June 30 as the closing date. The June 5 AMA later said the swap was not a hard stop, the StablePro transfer page now shows August 1, 2026, and the July 23 AMA says any further extension decision comes after final smart-contract unlocks.
StablePro Wallet is the only route
Prior tokenomics material and the official AMA describe StablePro Wallet as the conversion route. There is no verified DEX route, direct public contract route, or third-party swap tool in the available public sources.
KIMA is burned on deposit
Prior tokenomics material and AMA guidance describe KIMA deposited into the conversion contract as burned permanently. Earlier July 1 delisting language predates the transfer-page extension to August 1, so current venue status must be checked separately.
KIMA stakers: July 23 smart-contract unlock update
The July 23 AMA supersedes the earlier Decubate timing language. Eitan said the staking smart contract had been unlocked in the past few days and that remaining staking tokens from the original staking program would be sent in the coming days.
The separate claim contract for tokens that had not yet been claimed was still a work in progress, with a hoped-for early-next-week change. Eitan said the team would decide on the conversion-deadline extension after the final smart-contract unlock and would give holders necessary time. Treat this as a time-sensitive AMA claim until official written instructions are published.
Do not act from summaries alone
Because this involves token release and conversion, wait for official Kima, Aeredium, Decubate, or StablePro instructions before interacting with any staking portal, contract, or support link.
How the conversion works
The AMA provided the step-by-step mechanics. Michael, head engineer for StablePro Wallet, described the process. This is what the team stated, not confirmed on-chain yet. Always verify against current official documentation from Aeredium, Kima, and StablePro before acting.
Critical: verify all steps against official sources before acting
These steps are based on AMA statements and tokenomics material. The June 5 AMA added that users may receive points first, with 10 points converting to 1 AERX at listing, and said the Arbitrum contract had been deployed. Do not act on AMA summaries from third parties, Telegram posts, or unofficial guides. The safest app sources checked July 3, 2026 are the official StablePro listings on Apple App Store and Google Play, plus verified Aeredium, Kima, and StablePro channels.
AERX vesting after conversion
AERX received through the KIMA conversion does not unlock immediately. The tokenomics document applies founder-style vesting to converted AERX. This is important to understand before converting: you are locking KIMA permanently and receiving AERX on a long-term release schedule.
12 months from TGE
No AERX unlocks for the first 12 months after TGE. During the cliff period, your AERX position exists but is not accessible.
36 months linear after cliff
After the cliff, AERX releases linearly over 36 months. Each month a proportional share unlocks and becomes claimable.
Month 48 from TGE
All converted AERX is fully unlocked 48 months after TGE. This is the same schedule as the Founders and Contributors allocations.
Tracked inside StablePro Wallet
The AMA confirmed that your vesting schedule, next unlock date, and claim mechanics are visible inside StablePro Wallet after conversion. No separate tool is needed.
This vesting structure means converting KIMA is a long-term position, not a liquid trade. The converted AERX is not available to sell at listing. If you are evaluating whether to convert, the vesting schedule is the key variable alongside your view on AERX's value at mainnet and beyond.
What happens if you miss the window
Earlier source materials are no longer current on timing. Prior tokenomics described July 1 as the cutoff, the June 5 AMA said it was not a hard stop, the StablePro transfer page shows August 1, 2026, and the July 23 AMA says any extension decision depends on final smart-contract unlocks.
There are a few practical things worth doing before starting the conversion route:
- Confirm which network your KIMA is currently on. The conversion requires bridging to Arbitrum first. Factor in bridge time and fees.
- Set up StablePro Wallet from the official Apple App Store or Google Play listing before starting the conversion route.
- Follow official Aeredium and Kima channels for the published conversion documentation. Do not rely on third-party guides.
- Decide in advance whether you intend to convert all, part, or none of your KIMA. The vesting schedule makes this a different decision for everyone depending on their liquidity needs.
Safety: conversion scams to watch for
Token migration windows are the highest-risk moment in any crypto project's lifecycle for scam activity. The combination of a time-sensitive window, a new app or desktop route, and a contract to interact with creates exactly the conditions that phishing sites and fake migration tools target.
- The legitimate download sources for StablePro Wallet are stableprowallet.io, the checked Apple App Store listing, the checked Google Play listing, and official links from verified Aeredium/Kima channels.
- Any conversion instructions from Telegram DMs, Discord DMs, Reddit posts, or unofficial Twitter/X accounts should be ignored regardless of how official they appear.
- Never enter your seed phrase or private key into any conversion site, form, bot, or support channel.
- Verify the conversion contract address against what is published on the official Aeredium and Kima websites. Do not use contract addresses sourced from social media.
- Scam sites mimicking the StablePro domain will appear during the conversion window. Check the exact domain before connecting your wallet.
- If you are offered a "KIMA migration" through a DM, unofficial site, or unverified contract, treat it as a scam even if the timing looks plausible.

FAQ
What happens to KIMA token in 2026?
KIMA can be converted to AERX at 5:1 through StablePro Wallet. August 1, 2026 remains the visible transfer-page deadline, but July 23 AMA wording says extension timing depends on final smart-contract unlocks.
What is the KIMA to AERX ratio?
5 KIMA converts to 1 AERX. The total AERX pool reserved for KIMA conversion is 42,000,000 AERX (4.2% of total supply). The pool is fixed and cannot be increased.
How do I convert KIMA to AERX?
Per the AMA: bridge KIMA to Arbitrum, use StablePro Wallet or the official access route, and deposit KIMA into the conversion smart contract. Gas is covered by the team. Use only official links, including the checked App Store and Google Play listings above, and verify all steps against official documentation before acting.
What happens if I miss the August 1 deadline?
The July 23 AMA says the team will make an extension decision after the final smart-contract unlock and give holders necessary time. Until that is formally published, treat August 1, 2026 as the visible transfer-page date and use only verified official links.
When does the AERX from conversion unlock?
12-month cliff from TGE, then 36-month linear vesting. Fully unlocked at month 48. Your schedule is visible inside StablePro Wallet after conversion. Converted AERX is not liquid at listing.
Is KIMA being delisted?
Earlier material described July 1 delisting, but that timing predates the StablePro transfer-page extension to August 1. Check current exchange notices separately from the wallet conversion deadline.
Do I need to pay gas for the KIMA conversion?
The AMA stated the team will cover gas costs for the conversion. This still needs verification against the current official StablePro Wallet route before acting.
