Legacy Bridge FAQ
Information on swapping CSOV and wCSOV for the ORION Architect ($ORION) token.
What is the ORION Architect ($ORION) token, and how does the Legacy Bridge work for CSOV/wCSOV holders?
-
ORION Architect ($ORION) is the utility token of an independent protocol designed to support platform subscriptions, access to premium features, protocol governance, and community participation within the ORION Architect ecosystem.
Built on Solana for performance, scalability, and low transaction costs, a time-limited Legacy Bridge provides optional alignment for holders of historical CSOV and wCSOV tokens. Participation is governed by protocol-defined terms, including lockup and release mechanics, which are disclosed separately.
Is participation required? What happens if I don’t participate?
-
Participation in the Legacy Bridge is optional.
-
The Legacy Bridge is time-limited. After the bridge window closes on February 26, 2026 at 11:59 PM PT, CSOV and wCSOV tokens will remain as historical assets and:
- Will no longer be supported by the ORION protocol
- Will not be automatically aligned or converted
- Will not participate in ORION protocol governance, utility, or community mechanisms
-
Choosing to participate in the Legacy Bridge allows holders, subject to the disclosed lockup and release terms, to align with the ORION protocol and access its defined utility and participation features.
-
Unaligned CSOV and wCSOV tokens will remain unchanged after the deadline and will not be automatically converted.
What is the deadline to participate?
-
The Legacy Bridge is time-limited. The participation window closes on:
-
🗓️ February 26, 2026 at 11:59 PM PT
-
-
After this date, CSOV and wCSOV tokens will no longer be eligible for alignment with the ORION protocol. Participation is not available after the deadline, and tokens are not automatically aligned or converted.
What happens if I miss the deadline?
-
The Legacy Bridge is time-limited and closes on February 26, 2026. After this date, CSOV and wCSOV tokens will no longer be eligible for alignment with the ORION protocol, and no late submissions or exceptions will be granted.
-
ORION has no obligation to reopen, extend, re-enable, or otherwise provide access to the Program for any reason, including user error, technical issues, or missed deadlines.
-
Failure to participate in the Program on or before the deadline will result in the permanent inability to bridge Legacy Tokens, and ORION shall bear no responsibility or liability for such outcome.
Any requests, submissions, communications, or inquiries submitted after the deadline shall be deemed void and disregarded, without exception.
How do I participate? What wallets can I use?
-
Participation is completed through the Legacy Bridge page.
-
Supported wallets and technical requirements are listed directly within the Bridge page.
Security notice:
Never share your private keys or seed phrases. ORION team members will never initiate direct messages or request wallet credentials or assistance outside of official channels.
Is the Legacy Bridge alignment 1:1? What is the conversion rate?
-
Yes. The Legacy Bridge alignment is conducted at a 1:1 ratio.
-
For each CSOV or wCSOV token submitted through the Legacy Bridge, one (1) ORION Architect token is allocated, subject to the disclosed lockup and vesting terms.
-
No multipliers, bonuses, or deductions apply.
What are the lockup and release terms?
-
Tokens aligned through the Legacy Bridge are subject to a defined lockup and phased release schedule.
-
Following participation in the Legacy Bridge:
- ORION Architect tokens are subject to an initial one-year (12-month) lockup period, during which tokens cannot be transferred or accessed.
- After the initial lockup period ends, tokens are released on a monthly, pro-rata basis over thirty-six (36) months, with approximately 1/36th unlocking each month.
- ORION Architect tokens are subject to an initial one-year (12-month) lockup period, during which tokens cannot be transferred or accessed.
-
The lockup and release schedule is protocol-defined and applies uniformly to all Legacy Bridge participants. These terms are not discretionary and cannot be accelerated, modified, or bypassed.
Are there any fees involved?
-
ORION does not charge a fee to participate in the Legacy Bridge.
-
Participants may incur standard blockchain transaction fees, depending on the network used:
- wCSOV (Ethereum): Ethereum network gas fees may apply when sending your tokens.
- CSOV (Polkadot): Standard Polkadot transaction fees may apply.
- ORION Architect (Solana): Solana network fees apply and are typically minimal.
- wCSOV (Ethereum): Ethereum network gas fees may apply when sending your tokens.
- Prior to using the bridge, participants should ensure their Solflare wallet is funded with approximately $10 worth of SOL to cover standard network transaction fees. Any unused SOL will remain in the wallet for future use.
-
All transaction fees are paid directly to the respective blockchain networks and are not collected by ORION.
Is participation in the Legacy Bridge taxable?
-
Tax treatment varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
-
ORION does not provide tax advice. Participants are responsible for understanding and complying with applicable tax laws and should consult a qualified tax professional regarding their specific situation.
What should I do if I receive support requests via direct message?
-
Ignore them.
-
ORION Architect team members will never initiate direct messages requesting private keys, seed phrases, or wallet access. Any such messages should be treated as fraudulent.
-
-
For assistance, use only the official support channel linked on this page.
What if I have questions or need help?
-
If you have questions or need assistance, please contact our support team or message @orionsupport on ORION Messenger.
Do I need to fund my Solana wallet?
-
Yes. Prior to using the bridge, please add approximately $10 worth of SOL to your Solana wallet to cover standard network transaction fees. Fees are minimal, and any unused SOL will remain in your wallet.
What is the Token Status page?
-
The Token Status page is a public verification tool that allows participants to confirm that their Legacy Bridge submission was successfully recorded and to view the status of their ORION Architect token allocation.
Why don’t I see tokens in my Solflare wallet?
-
Tokens bridged through the Legacy Bridge are subject to a protocol-defined lockup. During the initial 12-month lockup period, tokens cannot be transferred or accessed and therefore will not appear as a spendable balance in your wallet.
- This is expected and applies to all Legacy Bridge participants.
What does the Token Status page show instead?
-
The Token Status page confirms:
- Your wallet address
- The current lockup or release status
- Swap history
- It acts as a verification record, not a wallet balance.
When will ORION tokens become available in my Solflare wallet?
- Tokens are locked for 12 months following participation in the Legacy Bridge.
- After the lockup ends, tokens unlock monthly over 36 months, with approximately 1/36th released each month.
- As tokens unlock, they will become visible and transferable according to the protocol schedule.
Can the lockup be changed, accelerated, or bypassed?
-
No. The lockup and release schedule is protocol-defined, applies uniformly to all participants, and is not discretionary.
If my tokens are locked, are they still mine?
-
Yes. Your allocation is recorded and verifiable. The lockup affects access, not ownership.
Do I need to claim my tokens after the lockup ends?
-
No. Tokens unlock automatically according to the protocol-defined schedule.
Has the Legacy Bridge been audited?
-
Yes. The smart contracts related to the Legacy Bridge and token vesting system have undergone an independent security audit by a third-party auditor.
-
For transparency, the full audit report is available below.

Why can’t I find the ORION Architect token on exchanges or price-tracking sites yet?
-
ORION Architect is a network utility token that has not yet entered public circulation. The token is being introduced through a phased, controlled rollout aligned with protocol launch milestones.
-
As a result, ORION Architect may not appear on exchanges, search engines, or public price-tracking platforms until those launch conditions are met. Exchange availability and public listings will be communicated through official ORION channels. We’re excited to share more as the launch approaches!
