# Process Overview

MaidSafeCoin is a proxy token for Autonomi tokens ($AUTONOMI), 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://shareholders.maidsafe.net/how-to-convert-maid) and [eMAID (ERC20)](https://shareholders.maidsafe.net/how-to-convert-emaid) can redeem their tokens for $AUTONOMI without 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://shareholders.maidsafe.net/timeline).

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