Clearpool publishes CPOOL to CLEAR migration guide as swap window takes shape
Clearpool has published a guide for migrating CPOOL to CLEAR tokens, with a 1:1 swap running from November 17, 2026 to February 17, 2027.
The institutional credit protocol has outlined the process for holders to swap CPOOL tokens for CLEAR. The migration window opens on November 17, 2026 and closes on February 17, 2027, giving users a three-month period to convert their tokens. The exchange rate is straightforward: 1 CPOOL becomes 1 CLEAR.
CLEAR will launch as a native ERC-20 token on Ethereum, which should make it compatible with most wallets and exchanges that already handle Ethereum assets. The token's initial circulating supply will be 1.125 billion tokens, representing 78.75% of a projected total supply of approximately 1.429 billion.
Exchange handling
Exchange users will experience a slightly different process. Clearpool has noted that each exchange will handle conversion timing according to its own schedule, rather than everything changing simultaneously on the first day. Users holding tokens on trading platforms should monitor their specific exchange for announcements about the migration.
The migration process went through due diligence by security auditors Cantina, and the protocol has told stakeholders it considers the process secure.
Security warnings
The protocol is emphasizing security during the migration period. Token swaps are a common target for scammers who create fake 'swap portals' to steal credentials. Clearpool urges users to only obtain contract details and links from its official channels.
Governance approval
The migration proposal received overwhelming support in a governance vote held between September 25 and October 2, 2026, with 97.16% of participants backing the change. The same vote also approved Clearpool's expansion to the XRP Ledger in collaboration with Ripple and Cicada Partners.
The token switch is part of a broader strategy to position Clearpool as a primary settlement layer for institutional credit. Under the new model, 50% of protocol fees will fund a buyback-and-burn program, where the protocol uses revenue to buy CLEAR tokens on the open market and permanently removes them from circulation.
Protocol background
Founded in 2021, Clearpool specializes in unsecured borrowing for institutions, allowing loans without requiring crypto collateral. Through its curated vault model and PayFi products, approved borrowers like trading firms can create custom liquidity pools. The protocol has originated nearly $1 billion in loans across multiple chains.
