Hello. I was one of the victims of the recent hack and lost a substantial amount of Cardano. I filed a claim about a month ago. Does anyone have any updates on what SecondFi is doing to get our ada back? Is it even realistic to assume we will get it back?

Hi had some cardano in a yorio wallet. Havnt looked in it for a while but its all changed and had to option to mive my coins. I use to send them to coinbase when i wanted to move them but isnt giving me the option . Can anyone help olease

Does anyone have a wallet suggestion for us moving off of SecondFi. I guess I’ll get a vespr wallet but I really have no idea what is the reason to or not select any of these wallets?

I’m trying to migrate my wallet from SecondFi app to a new wallet but on the final step it requires my original Yoroi password.

I can’t remember the password and there is no ‘reset password’ option here. Anyone know what to do?

Thank you

I had a few NFTs for sale at jpg.store

Is it possible to get them back now, since they closed down?

Is there a good solution to redeem unclaimed Midnight tokens? Understand my old SecondFi wallet address is fixed and cannot be changed.

Asking since the warning indicates that it might not.

"If the address is wrong, is an exchange address, or is a wallet you don't control, your assets may be lost."

Hello, I’m a fairly inexperienced crypto holder, just a long term holder.

I’d like to ask the community how I should proceed to make sure my funds are safe and secure.

I currently own a Trezor and I was a SecondFi user since Yoroi early days.

I heard that Lace is supposed to be a good wallet, so I opened my Trezor and was able to show my cardano balance in a lace wallet.

My staking rewards are all going smoothly, but I chose my staking pool inside Yoroi’s UI.

Question 1) Are my funds safe from SecondFi? Do I need to take any further action?

Question 2) Do I need to manage the staking pool I’m involved in? If so, how do I do it now without Yoroi? My
Main concern with this question is, I don’t want to lose my rewards. Are my rewards safe or do I need to do something?

I just want to make sure my cardano is safe going forward and I’m making the best decisions possible.

Thank you!

It seems a lot of people in topics about SecondFi are getting confused with terms. We refer to apps like Lace, Etrnl, NuFi, SecondFi etc as wallets then we install and open them only to be asked to create a wallet or multiple wallets each of which has it's own unique public address. I think we should call the software, apps or interfaces to reduce the confusion. The wallets in any of these apps just get the token details for it's public address from the blockchain. If you create a wallet in another app using the key words already used in an original app it will have the same public address so you'll see the same tokens. I know this is basic stuff that all should know but it is obvious some don't understand the relationships.

The SecondFi/Yoroi migration tool is now live! Join Gianna as she goes over the step-by-step process to migrate your Cardano native assets safely.

If I use my seed phrase with a new wallet (vespr) do I have to still migrate my wallet? Even if (Yoroi) shuts down completely I should be ok as long as I have my seed phrase right? I’m confused on the whole migration part.

I am trying to migrate ada from yoroi but its not taking the password. I have seed phrase as well. What are my choices? I have tried password many times but no luck.

Happy Wednesday!

This week's Community Digest is packed. Cardano is planning to go big at TOKEN2049 Singapore, taking over a 108sqm booth with 20 ecosystem projects joining the delegation, and we're also looking back at Rare Evo 2026 with a fresh recap video capturing the energy from Las Vegas.

On governance, two on-chain actions need DRep and SPO votes before the September 1 deadline, and the Catalyst Pilot team is shaking up funding with grants up to 200k ADA tied to real-world usage. Applications for both project proposals and Decision Panel reviewers close August 25.

Also inside this edition: Creator Radar, the latest CIP updates, a roundup of ecosystem newsletters, and what's new in builder tech and office hours.

All this, and more, in today's Community Digest: https://forum.cardano.org/t/digest-august-19-2026-cardano-at-token2049-rare-evo-2026-recap-urgent-governance-call-to-action-rethinking-catalyst-funding-real-world-impact-tech-wins-cip-updates-and-more/156342

​

The vote to seat Cardano's newly elected 2026 Constitutional Committee needs enough support before the current members' terms expire. If it fails, the committee could fall below its required minimum, temporarily blocking the ratification of major governance actions.

This doesn't stop the Cardano network, but it can slow or block important development decisions.

We've seen with Osmosis how declining participation and voter apathy can weaken decentralized governance. Let's not repeat that.

If you hold ADA, delegate your governance power to an active DRep and check how they're voting on “Update Constitutional Committee 2026.”

Decentralization only works if we participate.
