I saw reports claiming that a large amount of NIGHT may have been affected

by an incident involving the Wanchain Cardano bridge.

Some reports mention an issue related to message encoding in a validator,

but I have not found a complete official technical report yet.

Does anyone have:

- an official statement from Wanchain or Midnight;

- the relevant transaction hashes;

- confirmation of whether native NIGHT holders are affected;

- confirmation that the affected bridge route has been paused?

I am posting this to understand what has actually been confirmed, not to

spread fear or make a price prediction. Please share primary sources where

possible.

Can’t find any news , is this just a regular Monday for NIGHT?

UPDATE, not sure what I did, but I was able to redeem after over 2 hours of trying

This is the message that I am getting when I try to redeem

Service unavailable

It is not possible to view allocations and claim NIGHT tokens at this time. This service will be available as soon as the network has room for new transactions.

advice please

Hi, I have Lace and I'm trying to claim on https://redeem.midnight.gd/redeem but the website just says "No supported Cardano wallets found on this browser. Please enter an address manually or install a supported wallet from the list below."

Why is nothing showing when I have Lace installed and unlocked? Is the website not working?

I had a hardware wallet connected to Yoroi/SecondFi, and I have since moved over to Eternl. I am trying to redeem the remaining midnight tokens, and am going through the steps on my Ledger NanoX.
First it says I need to send 1.15 ADA, then the next step says that again, then the third step says I will send over 2,293 ADA. Why is it trying to send this much?

So as a test I created a new Cardano account on my ledger wallet.

I transferred some midnight into this account alongside with some mandatory ADA.

I can see the ADA on the ledger wallet but not the Midnight token, any idea as to why?

I can't redeem my NIGHT tokens through the Midnight portal. I redeem via Address which is a wallet containing 28 ADA but when I get to the connect a wallet screen I select NuFi then redeem and I get the following error "Please fund your connected wallet or connect a wallet with enough ADA to proceed". In the past at that point it asked me to select the wallet funding the redemption but now it doesn't.

Need some technical help with a weird interface/indexing issue I’m experiencing across Eternl & Lace with my Ledger hardware wallet.

I recently completed a claim on GlacierDrop for the Midnight (NIGHT) token. The transaction went through perfectly via my Ledger.

Here is where it gets weird:

1. Cardanoscan: 100% confirms the successful transaction. It shows the tokens sitting inside my wallet’s staking key/sub-address).
2. Eternl Wallet: My main "Assets" tab says "No assets found". Even under the "Send Funds -> Add Assets" search bar, searching for "NIGHT" brings up absolutely nothing.
3. Eternl UTxO List: If I look under the raw Account UTxO List, the tokens do show up right there as an unspent output under the sub-address. However, the interface won't let me interact with it or select it.
4. Monster Swap / Lace Wallet: Both show a balance of 0 NIGHT. I know this is likely due to their strict Single-Address model tracking my primary address, meaning they are blind to the sub-address where GlacierDrop deposited the tokens.

Has anyone else dealt with Eternl backend indexer delays or caching bugs after an airdrop? How do I force Eternl to let me move an asset that it recognizes in the UTxO list but refuses to show in the token inventory?

Thanks in advance!

So basically I installed Lace and just connected using my Ledger and it sees all my claimed NIGHT plus all my staked ADA. But using the official claim portal, it just won't see my Lace wallet or recognize that it's connected. I tried using manual address but nothing. I'm hoping this is just some error and it will work once they fix stuff or will I need to do something different. Such as putting my original seed phrase generated by Yoroi into a new wallet like Lace and then trying to do the claim? I'm just a little confused when I initially secured the Yoroi generated addresses by securing it with Ledger what the process is to actually redeem. Using official address to try to redeem like I did the first 2 times: Midnight TGE | Redeem

Sorry for wall of text.

I read the post by Slight86 a few hours ago but could use some clarification on his response.

Yes, not only can you, you'll have to. The redemption claim is tied to the original claim address.

Restore access to your wallet by using another compatible Cardano wallet with your seed phrase or by reconnecting your hardware wallet. As long as you're accessing the same wallet, you'll be able to claim the remaining NIGHT.

For me, reconnecting the hardware wallet through Lace is not allowing me to claim YET.

Edit: it worked fine once I installed and connected u/nufiofficial Thanks all for the help and insight!

🚨Glacier Drop Redemptions Update🚨

Redemptions will resume today at 17:00 UTC.

Following our recent announcement to pause Glacier Drop redemptions due to a security incident affecting a subset of Cardano wallets associated with SecondFi, we have made the decision to reopen the Redemption portal at 17:00 UTC today.

The pause was introduced as a temporary precaution while the potential impact of the incident was assessed. We are now satisfied there is no risk to the Redemption infrastructure or systems. This pause has not impacted the original Redemption schedule. Any NIGHT that thawed during the suspension period is now redeemable.

The safety and security of our community remain our highest priorities. If you used or are currently using a SecondFi wallet, we encourage you to follow official guidance from the SecondFi team and ensure you have taken any recommended steps to secure your assets.

We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding while this review took place.

Dont get me wrong, I love Cardano but, in my opinion, the fact that its doing so poorly in terms of real world adoption is because there is no central vision and central marketing and sales team actually selling it to potential customers.

The ideals and values behind it are amazing but adoption is seriously lacking and I dont think it will ever come.

Midnight on the other hand has so much potential so please for the love of .. , learn from Cardano's mistakes and do it different this time.

Hello,
I have two questions.
First, I forgot to redeem my allocated Midnight. Am I too late, or is it still possible to redeem it now?
Second, I previously used Yoroi as an interface (with a Ledger hardware wallet). From what I understand, Yoroi is no longer available. What alternative can I use to redeem it easily?

Midnight has seen a late spike in user activity, yet developer/user experience is still a pain point the community has faced in the past couple of months. While that's exciting, it's also highlighted something the community has been vocal about for months: the developer and user experience still has room for improvement (ex: development environment setup issues, non-embedded navigator proving).

Edit: As u/Slight86 suggested, some context of who we are might come in handy. We are Midnames, a Name Service provider built for Midnight. We have been contributing to the Midnight ecosystem for over a year and during recent months, the team has been focusing on improving the tooling & dApp ecosystem for builders and users by understanding what the community ACTUALLY needs.
