<aside> 🙋‍♂️ This article only covers the migration of general accounts.

In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of migrating your accounts from Crab 1.0 to Crab 2.0 using the Account Migration Dapp. The Dapp is not only compatible with Crab, but also with Darwinia. So if you're planning to migrate your accounts from Darwinia 1.0 to Darwinia 2.0, this tutorial has got you covered too. Simply switch to the relevant network and follow the same process. Let's get started!
To get started with the dashboard, navigate to migration.darwinia.network. You’ll be prompted to connect to polkadot{.js} extension, Talisman wallet, or Subwallet.
Upon accepting the permission, you will be directed to the main dashboard where you will find details about the account data to be migrated. You can click on the top right corner to switch accounts for the corresponding migration operation.
For the purpose of account migration operations, we will use the following account as an example:
5CXu21zV4Xu9gLgwoSCsqwPktHxGJiTMZXmLrtDnFaBVidqe
Verify that you selected the account you want to migrate from.
Enter the EVM account you would like to migrate to.
<aside> 🙋‍♂️ a. Please ensure that you have the private key for this EVM account. And this account is not from any third-party platform.
b. Please confirm that the EVM account is a new address. This account has not been used on-chain. ( 🤗 Don't worry if the account already exists on-chain, the migrate button will not be clickable and will prompt you to change the account.)
</aside>
Click Migrate.
Polkadot{.js} Extension will pop-up and you will be prompted to sign a transaction.
Once the transaction has been confirmed and you receive the transaction confirmed notification, the dashboard will update to include the migration record.
That’s it! Now you’ve successfully migrated the account. Please don’t forget to check your account after the migration is complete.
