Levana users can skip the first step of the Merge, “IBC to Cosmos,” since that step involves transferring assets from the Kujira network to the Cosmos Hub. Instead, they should send their $LVN directly from the Osmosis network to the Cosmos Hub.
To convert your $LVN tokens to $RUJI, follow the steps outlined below:
(Optional) Buy $ATOM to transact on the Cosmos Hub Chain.
IBC $LVN from Osmosis to Cosmos Hub.
Convert your $LVN to $RUJI.

⚡️(Optional) Buy $ATOM to Transact on the Cosmos Hub Chain
For the second step and third step of the Merge, you will need to pay gas fees to do a transaction. If you already own $ATOM on the Cosmos Hub, you can skip this step.
Follow These Steps to Buy and Transfer $ATOM
Go to https://app.osmosis.zone/ and connect your Keplr wallet in the top right corner.
At the “from” section search for LVN and enter 100 as the amount and at the “To” section ATOM. The system will automatically calculate the equivalent dollar value in $ATOM.
Click “Swap” then “Confirm”, and then approve the transaction in the Keplr wallet extension window that pops up.
Send $ATOM to the Cosmos Hub
Go to “Portfolio”, search $ATOM and press “Withdraw”.
Choose Network: Cosmos Hub and approve the connection.
For the Amount, press “Max”.
Click “Review Withdraw”, press “Confirm” and approve the Keplr message.
⚡️(Optional) Buy $RUNE to Transact on THORChain
To perform transactions on THORChain, you’ll need $RUNE to pay for gas fees. If you already own $RUNE on THORChain, you can skip this step.
Follow These Steps to Buy $RUNE
Go to https://rujira.network/swap/GAIA.ATOM/THOR.RUNE and connect your Keplr in the top right corner.
For $ATOM, fill in Amount 0.1. The system will automatically calculate the equivalent dollar value in $RUNE.
Click on “Select Destination” and select your THOR address.
Click “Instant Swap” and approve the transaction in your Keplr Wallet.
⚡️IBC $LVN from Osmosis to Cosmos Hub
Levana users need to IBC their tokens from the Osmosis network to the Cosmos Hub. You can do that by following these steps:
Go to https://app.osmosis.zone/ and connect your Keplr wallet in the top right corner.
Go to “Portfolio”, search $LVN and press “Withdraw”.
Choose Network: Cosmos Hub and approve the connection.
For the Amount, press “Max”.
Click “Review Withdraw”, press “Confirm” and approve the Keplr message.
⚡️Convert Your $LVN to $RUJI
To convert your $LVN on the Cosmos Hub to $RUJI on the THORChain network, follow the steps below. Since your $LVN is already on Cosmos Hub, you can skip Box 1 on the Merge page, and begin with Box 2.
Box 2: Deposit $LVN on THORChain
Go to rujira.network/merge, connect your Keplr wallet in the top right corner and select the Levana icon (located above the middle box).
The middle box (“Deposit on THORChain”) is to deposit your $LVN to THORChain.
If you're not already on the Cosmos Hub network, click “Click here to switch to the Cosmos Hub network”.
Click “Balance on Cosmos Hub” to select the entire amount.
Click “Deposit”, then approve the transaction in the Keplr wallet extension.
Your $LVN is now being deposited on THORChain.
Box 3: Convert $LVN to $RUJI
The box on the right(“Convert to RUJI”) is to complete the final step to convert $LVN to $RUJI.
If you're not already on the THORChain network, click “Click here to switch to the THORChain network”.
(Optional: If your “Balance on THORChain” doesn’t update within a minute, refresh the page.)
Click “Balance on THORChain” to select the entire amount.
Click “Merge to RUJI”, then approve the transaction in the Keplr wallet extension.
Once your $LVN has been converted to $RUJI, you have successfully completed the Merge!
⚡️Claiming Your $RUJI Tokens
You will be able to claim your $RUJI on Token Generation Event (TGE) day, which will be announced at a later date. Once $RUJI is live, you can partially or fully claim your tokens on rujira.network/merge. For now, gas fees for interacting with the App Layer are set to 0, so you can claim your tokens and explore the ecosystem without paying any gas.
You have a few options for how to use your $RUJI:
Keep your tokens locked in the Merge contract and earn bonus tokens.
Unlock your tokens, start staking, and earn USDC rewards from protocol fees.
Unlock your tokens and use them within RUJI products.
Keep in mind that withdrawing from the Merge contract is a one-way bridge, meaning you won’t be able to deposit your tokens back in.
Stay updated on the TGE by following announcements from the Rujira X main account.
⚡️Questions and Help
We understand that some parts of the Merge are difficult, and that issues can arise. If you need support with the Merge, please join our official Telegram chat (https://t.me/Rujira_Community) and we will help you with any question you have. In our official Telegram chat, make sure to only interact with team members and admins (with a tag in their name), and never answer to any DM's. None of the team members and admins will DM you first, so anyone who does is most likely a scammer.
We also want to emphasize that all official updates, links, and announcements will come exclusively from the official Rujira X account. Any other sources claiming to provide guidance, links, or assistance are most likely scams. We urge you to stay vigilant and avoid engaging with unverified actors.
