# Migration: $META to mpDAO

## **Points to consider before migrating from $META to mpDAO.**

1. To start the migration, you must have your ***NEAR wallet connected***.
2. Have ***all your positions locked***. If you have positions in Unlock it will not be possible to perform the migration.
3. Make sure you ***don't have any position in Withdraw***. Withdraw positions do not prevent the migration, but then you will have $META tokens in your wallet without being able to migrate them. It is very important that you do not keep $META tokens unlocked.
4. ***Lock all your $META tokens***. If you have $META tokens in your wallet, lock them before migrating. Otherwise you will not be able to migrate them with this wallet.

You will see this message with a button to the right indicating: Migrate now.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Very important: verify before migrating that you have no pending Withdraw positions, and that all your $META are locked. Once you perform the migration, it will not be possible to perform a new Migration with $META pending to be locked.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
![](/files/ItaTbKP5hZA8oGyaK0HR)\
If when you press "Migrate now" and you get this message, it means that you have positions in the process of unlocking. In order to migrate, you must relock those positions.&#x20;
