### vBNC Migration Process Summary

1. **Initialization**: Configure SLP (Simple Ledger Protocol) for vBNC (virtual Bifrost Native Coin).
2. **Calldata**: Contains detailed configuration data for vBNC, including minting and redemption settings.
3. **Temporary Settings**: Minting and redemption quantities are set to 1,000,000,000 BNC/vBNC to prevent operations during migration.
4. **Future Actions**: Minting and redemption functions will be enabled after the migration is complete.
5. **Purpose**: Ensures smooth transition and stability during the migration process.
6. **Protocol**: Uses Simple Ledger Protocol for managing vBNC configurations.
7. **Quantity Management**: Temporarily restricts large-scale minting and redemption to maintain balance.
8. **Completion**: Planned to reopen functions once migration tasks are finished.

### Snapshot-Based vBNC Migration Plan

- **Objective:** Migrate vBNC from Bifrost-Kusama to Bifrost-Polkadot due to lack of cross-chain support.
- **Method:** Use a snapshot-based migration process to ensure timely completion.
- **Timeline:** The entire process will take about 4-5 working days, starting on November 27.
- **Phases:**
  1. Initialize vBNC on Polkadot.
  2. Suspend services on Kusama.
  3. Snapshot and migrate assets.
  4. Distribute new assets and resume services on Polkadot.
  5. Clean up residual data on Kusama.
- **Community Actions:**
  - Check and record your vBNC holdings.
  - Unstake BNC from Kusama and transfer to Polkadot.
  - Pre-mint vBNC on Kusama to simplify the migration process.
- **Tutorial:** Available for pre-minting vBNC on Bifrost-Kusama.
