Sending ADA from Exodus wallet to Daedalus for staking, invalid address formats?

Staking & Delegation Stake Delegation

My Daedalus Shelley wallet gave me some unused addresses that go like this…
addr1q992h8wqn…

But the Exodus wallet seems to expect addresses in a different format, like Ae2td…

And I don’t see an option in Daedalus to display the addresses in any other format. What is going wrong here?

Address addr1q992h8wqn... is a Shelley address and that is the current address format.

Address Ae2td… is a Byron address, the old format.

I think Daedalus currently only allows creation of Shelley wallets.

However, you should be able to use the N (12, 15, 24 or 27 depending on wallet) word key recovery phrase from the Exodus wallet and restore it in Daedalus as a Byron wallet. Then you can create a Shelley wallet and then there is an option to move funds from the Byron wallet to the Shelley wallet.

Unfortunately, it seems Exodus only exports the private key, not a mnemonic passphrase. Is there a way to get Daedalus to import that? I couldn’t find the option.

Actually, Daedalus is quite a PITA to deal with. I hope Exodus integrates ADA staking because I use it for other currencies too.

@ritchan Were you able to solve this issue? I am also facing the same problem.

I found a newer version of Exodus that supported the newer wallet type, although I haven’t sent anything yet so I can’t confirm anything.
