Good Evening,

I would like to ask you for a help or at least an explanation what could have happened and what could I do to get my ADA back.

I see that so many people have issues with restoring their wallets on Yoroi same as I do.

Restored my wallet today and all the ADA is gone. The 15 words mnemonic is correct, I have the transaction ID’s as well, the money is still in blockchain but not in my wallet.

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks,  
Perzo

You probably could try to restore your wallet on [adalite.io](http://adalite.io). I guess you restored a Byron wallet as a Shelley wallet.

Cheers

Thank you for your reply. I tried that and it shows 0. ☹ What I dont get is, the mnemonic is unique. IF you make a mistake in even 1 letter the wallet doesnt recognise it and then you cant restore so I dont really understand what happened.

Ok, these are shelley address;

Now restore the yoroi wallet with 15 seed word … go to receive section and copy one address from there and paste here…

Thank you Sir.! I am affraid the ADA is gone since the seed phrase I have corresponds to the 0 wallet. Some word might be wrong since my handwritting is dodgy but unfortunately cant do much about it now.

Thanks.

Thank you @Alexd1985 much appreciated.

Stupid question if I may. The ADA will stay there forever until I restore it, right?

Thanks again. Have a nice evening.
