After submitting, you will need to go through our KYC process and pay for shipping and taxes. The digital twin will be put in escrow until the item gets delivered to your address. Once the item is delivered, the digital twin is put into a '*soul-bound' state*.

All redeemed assets are shipped via a trusted carrier and fully insured in transit. We will provide a cost estimation for shipping and redemption taxes with an invoice prior to executing the redemption.

#### Can I redeem both my physical watch and the "digital twin"?

{% hint style="warning" %}
No. As long as a user keeps the digital twin, OpenChrono will maintain custody of the physical asset in a secure vault. This is to ensure that the digital twin is backed by a physical asset. If a user decides to receive the physical asset, we will burn the corresponding digital twin.
