In August 2025, Mode upgraded the Mystery Box wallet system from Magic to a new provider (Alchemy) to make Mystery Box reveals faster and more reliable. This article explains what changed, what actions you may need to take, and answers common questions about the upgrade.
What changed
The old Mystery Box wallet system had technical issues that caused reveals to fail roughly half the time. The upgraded system on Alchemy is:
- Faster — reveals complete in seconds rather than long waits.
- More reliable — reveals succeed over 90% of the time.
As part of the upgrade, existing Mystery Box holders needed to complete a one-time migration to move their old boxes to the new system.
If you had Mystery Boxes before August 2025
You see a one-time migration screen in the Mode Earn App with two options.
Option 1: Export your wallet (the web3 path)
Choose this option if you want to keep your original Mystery Boxes and vested $EARNM by moving them to a self-custody crypto wallet such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet.
- What you do: export your old wallet’s private key from Magic and import it into a wallet app of your choice.
- What you get: you keep your original vested Mystery Boxes and continue vesting outside the Mode Earn App. You also receive a bonus gift for completing the process.
- How: see How do I export my vested Mystery Boxes? for step-by-step instructions.
Export deadline: the export link is available until February 2027. After that date, you may permanently lose access to your pre-upgrade wallet.
Option 2: Swap for new boxes (the easy path)
Choose this option to stay entirely inside the Mode Earn App without handling crypto wallets.
- What you do: tap Swap on the migration screen.
- What you get: 2× the same number of fresh Mystery Boxes, plus 500 bonus points.
- Note: swapped boxes are new and unvested — you will spend points to reveal them. This option works well if you only had a few lightly-vested boxes.
If you did not have any Mystery Boxes before August 2025
Nothing to do. The upgrade is transparent for new users. Your Mystery Boxes are stored in the upgraded Alchemy wallet automatically.
Frequently asked questions
I accidentally swapped my boxes but wanted to export. Did I lose my vested $EARNM?
No. Even if you chose the Swap option, your original Magic wallet still exists and still holds your vested rewards. You can use the Export process at any time before February 2027 to recover and manage those assets.
The swap simply gave you new boxes and bonus points inside the app. It did not delete the original wallet or its contents.
Why can’t I reveal any Mystery Boxes?
If reveals are not working, you have not completed the one-time migration. Open the Mode Earn App and choose either Export or Swap. Reveals work normally once you complete a choice.
All my Mystery Boxes are gone — where did they go?
Your pre-upgrade Mystery Boxes are still safe in your original Magic wallet. To see them in the Mode Earn App interface, complete the migration (Export or Swap). For full recovery instructions, see My vested Mystery Boxes are gone! Help!
I tried to export my wallet but it did not work
- The export link at reveal.magic.link/earnm can be retried at any time.
- If you continue to have trouble, you can choose Swap in the app instead.
- If neither works, contact Support through Settings → Ask for Support in the Mode Earn App.
