Hi,

so because you have clicked on this thread i assume that you have funds in your Cardano EXODUS wallet.

Here are the steps to claim your NIGHT tokens for them:

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING

  1. Make sure that you have your original 12-Word Exodus seed phrase. Without that seed phrase, no key-restore and claim would be possible.
  2. IMPORTANT STEP - Now its time to move your funds out of your old EXODUS wallet to another current Shelley-Era wallet. Make yourself a new wallet and send over the funds. The seed phrase gets exposed on the command-line and secret files will be generated, be careful to delete those afterwards!
  3. MAKE SURE that you have sent your funds to a new Shelley Light- or HardwareWallet.
  4. MAKE SURE that you have sent your funds to a new Shelley Light- or HardwareWallet.

Now its time to regenerate your Exodus-Keys on the command line

Now its time to restore your Exodus keys on the command line, exciting right? Grab yourself a copy of cardano-signer, you can find it here for Linux, Mac or Windows:

Make sure its at least version 1.30 or higher.

Method-1: Generate staking keys and address from your 12-Word Exodus wallet

Syntax - Example, replace the Mnemonic with your own one:

./cardano-signer keygen --exodus-stake \
   --mnemonics "angle segment economy real desk escape educate spice any hood debate pen" \
   --vkey-extended \
   --json-extended \
   --out-skey exodus-stake.skey \
   --out-vkey exodus-stake.vkey \
   --out-addr exodus-stake.addr

→ Continue with the Claim-Part

Method-2: Generate payment keys and address from your 12-Word Exodus wallet

   --vkey-extended \
   --json-extended \

Claim your NIGHT token from the Midnight Glacier Drop Page

Go to the Midnight Glacier Drop Website https://claim.midnight.gd/ and start a new claim.

Use your Stake-Address stake1… or Payment-Address addr1… that you have produced before as the Origin-Address, input a new Cardano Shelley-Address as the claim destination address. Accept the terms and Conditions.

Tip: You can view the content of your keyfiles via the cat command like cat exodus-stake.addr

When you are at the manual signing point, copy the provided <message> to sign and head back to the command-line. You must now sign this message with your generated exodus-stake.skey like:

./cardano-signer sign \
   --cip30 \
   --data "STAR 123456789 to addr1v9xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx8b" \
   --secret-key exodus-stake.skey \
   --address exodus-stake.addr \
   --json-extended
