Secret will be migrating to Arbitrum, and a one-time snapshot of SCRT holdings will be taken on September 1st.
Foresight News , Secret Network, the privacy public chain within the Cosmos ecosystem, has announced a partnership with Arbitrum, with its token SCRT planned to migrate to the Arbitrum network. Secret will conduct a one-time snapshot of SCRT holdings on September 1, 2026. Following the snapshot, a new ERC-20 version of SCRT will be issued on Arbitrum, which holders can claim using Merkle root proofs. No prior asset deposit is required, and there is no deadline for claiming. The snapshot covers native SCRT and staked SCRT (including those being unbound), but excludes sSCRT, SCRT held in contracts or liquidity pools, and cross-chain tokens. Users must convert these back to native SCRT or staked SCRT before September 1st. In addition, the team proposed lowering the SCRT inflation rate from 9% to 5%, and stated that once approved by the community governance vote, SCRT Labs will cease maintaining the Secret Network and open-source all its code under a permissive license. This proposal is currently still pending on-chain governance confirmation.
