Did I lost all my ADA? Please help

English Community Technical Support

Hello Community,

Back in July 2019, I decided to move all my ADA from Binance to Ledger Nano S and managed it using the Yori, as ADA was my biggest holding. It was all good and I was able to receive more ADA to my wallet.
I haven’t had any new transactions after this period in time. Recently I tried to open my Yori wallet using the chrome extension and it asked to add a new wallet. Please note that this was my first time opening the wallet after Shelly released it. After I choose the option “Connect to hardware wallet” and follow through the steps, my wallet balance is indicated as 0.
I can’t choose the option “Restore wallet” as I don’t have the recovery phrase (I believe it’s not the recovery phrase of my Ledger) .
I’m not a very technical expert or Blockchain expert, and I thought my ADA is safe in my Ledger device. Did I lose all my ADA? Is there a way to get back my funds?

Thank you very much in advance for the support!

Hey @rajith

Im pretty sure you can chill out.

Recently we had our transition from legacy Byron era to Shelly era. At this point the users had to upgrade their wallets from Byron wallets to Shelley wallets. Im pretty sure that you are still using a Byron wallet and thats why you dont see your funds right now.

The only thing you have to do is migrate from Byron to Shelley. --> https://www.reddit.com/r/cardano/comments/imj4g2/ledger_yoroi_wallet_from_byron_to_shelly/

If you need any help feel free to ask here. :slight_smile:

You should transfer the funds in your Byron wallet to a Shelley wallet and then start staking your funds :slight_smile:.

Keep calm, everything should be fine!

You may want to try to restore your wallet on adalite so you can migrate your funds to a Shelley wallet.

If you are using a ledger device you dont have to restore your wallet on adalite. Just update the firmware of your ledger device, install the latest Cardano app and connect your ledger device with adalite.

Hoping someone here can help. I posted this in another chain but no one replied. I seem to have a similar issue with my ledger. Here is my Problem:

I haven’t checked on my crypto in a while and with the recent spike wanted to move some coin around. On 5/29/19 I moved coin from Binance to what I’m sure was my ledger. I don’t remember what wallet I used, but I know it was one I had synced with my Nano S. I assume it was Yoroi as I had the extension installed in Chrome. I synced my Yoroi and Nano X (I purchased the X but previously had S and I reinstalled with my seed phrase). Given the date, I think it would have been Byron wallet. I synced Nano with Yoroi and AdaLite but it shows zero transaction history and zero coins. I searched the cardanoscan sight to make sure I made a transfer, and it shows the transfer in May 2019, but unfortunately I can’t tell where it went obviously.

I’ve tried syncing in Yoroi, AdaLite, and Dadalus wallet. All wallets show zero balance and no transaction history.

Can anyone help. Any suggestions on how to locate the coins would be appreciated.

Hi - I haven’t checked on my crypto in a while & upon updating all software on my ledger nano S and Yoroi to check I see my Yoroi ADA balance as 0. The transactions page under my Bryon wallet shows I sent all my ADA somewhere on 04/04/2020. Not sure if this is related but from Yoroi when I click on “Receive” & verify address I don’t see “verify on hardware wallet” like in the Emurgo tutorial video. However I do see derivation numbers. Please advise and thank you in advance.

Hello,

It seems to be an issue yoroi-ledger… can u check on Adalite?

Cheers

Thanks Alex. As you stated it seems to be a Yoroi-Ledger issue. AdaLite shows exactly the balance I should have on my ledger.
