# Process Overview

MaidSafeCoin is a proxy token for Autonomi tokens, which was made available for purchase during the MaidSafe ICO in 2014. It's redeemable 1:1 for Autonomi tokens through an airdrop.

Holders of [MAID (Omni)](https://docs.autonomi.com/token/converting-maidsafecoin/how-to-convert-maid) and [eMAID (ERC20)](https://docs.autonomi.com/token/converting-maidsafecoin/how-to-convert-emaid) can redeem their tokens for Autonomi tokenswithout the need for KYC. The process varies slightly depending on the token type, but involves **burning your MaidSafeCoin** then **receiving your Autonomi tokens by airdrop** according to a [set schedule](https://docs.autonomi.com/token/converting-maidsafecoin/timeline).

Here are the step-by-step guides for how to do it:
