# Convertibility & Redemption

**KDK & xKDK Conversion:** At any given moment, KDK can be instantaneously converted into xKDK at a 1:1 ratio.\
\
**xKDK & KDK Redemption:** The redemption process for converting xKDK to KDK incorporates a vesting feature, allowing users to customize the vesting duration based on their preferences. The conversion ratio will increase proportionally with the vesting duration:

* The minimum vesting duration of 15 days will provide a 1:0.5 ratio.
* The maximum vesting duration of 6 months (180 days) will provide a 1:1 ratio.
* If the selected vesting duration is lower than the maximum (ratio < 1:1), the unclaimed excess KDK is forfeited by the user (and distributed to other users via the xKDK Staking Rewards Utility Module).
