{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note the format here is `uint256`**. You should write the amount of eMAID you wish to burn as an integer with 18 decimals. That means 18 trailing zeros.\
\
For example `1`eMAID is written as `1000000000000000000`
{% endhint %}

{% endstep %}

### **Wait for Verification**

No further action is required. The system will automatically detect your burn transaction.&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Receive your** Autonomi tokens

Your Autonomi tokens will be airdropped to the same ETH wallet from which you burned your eMAID. The number of tokens received will match the number of burned tokens 1:1. Please be patient, as this is on a [set schedule](https://docs.autonomi.com/token/converting-maidsafecoin/timeline).&#x20;
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
In order to see your Autonomi Network Tokens in your wallet, make sure to [Add Arbitrum](https://docs.autonomi.com/token/using-autonomi-tokens/holding/add-arbitrum-network) and [import the token contract](https://docs.autonomi.com/token/using-autonomi-tokens/holding/import-the-autonomi-token).
