The top comment asks what happens if it dumps now. Worth knowing what the base rates say, and also what they do not say.

I pulled every daily candle across 8 majors (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, BNB, ADA, LINK) that closed +15% or more. 253 instances. The day after: 57.9% closed red, 30.3% worse than -5%. But the mean next-day return was +0.92% against a +0.21% baseline, and the median was -1.51%. Barbell, not a drift. About one in seven ripped another 10%+ and carried the average by itself.

Then I tried to get more specific, because that is exactly the setup we are in now: the pump day was followed by a green day. Across the same sample, the second day after that pattern was green only 41.1% of the time (n=107). Nine points below baseline. That looked like a real edge.

So I split the history in half and ran each half separately. First half 38.6%, second half 52.6%. The effect reversed. Sample sizes in the second half are small, but a result that flips sign when you cut the data is not a result, it is a coincidence with good marketing.

So I do not have a call for today, and that is the honest answer. What I do have is a note about the first number: after a vertical day, red is the modal outcome, but the tail that pays is fat enough to make the average positive. Anyone quoting only one of those two numbers at you is selling something.

Method: daily candles, Binance spot, close vs open on the same candle for the pump day, close to close after.

You're about to be downvoted to oblivion by ADA army I think

I get the same error, but no idea why as the destination address is a valid, non-exchange hardware wallet address.
I can only guess that I don't have enough free ADA for the unstake and transfer transaction 🤔.

I'll assume you are interacting with the genuine portal at [midnight.gd](http://midnight.gd), not a scam website.
You'll have to do some verification. As I said, try matching the address to the one you used when making the first redemption. It should be the exact same address.
If it worked for the first claim, I don't see why it wouldn't work for the second one. The address should be associated with your wallet.
An easy way to test this would be to send a tiny amount of ADA to that address and see whether it ends up in your own wallet. That should save you the hassle of digging too deeply into all the address details just to verify it.

Since the top comment is asking whether this is a bull trap, here's what the base rates actually say. I pulled every day across 8 majors (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, BNB, ADA, LINK) where the coin closed up 15% or more on the day. 253 instances. Then I looked at the following day.

57.9% of those next days closed red. 30.3% closed more than 5% down. 13.8% closed more than 10% down.

But the average next-day return is +0.92%, comfortably above the +0.21% baseline for a random day.

Both of those are true at once, and that is the whole point. The median next day is -1.51% while the mean is positive, because 14.6% of the time the thing rips another 10%+ and drags the average up by itself. The distribution is barbell shaped, not centered.

So "is it a bull trap" is the wrong shape of question. Most days after a big pump are red, and the ones that aren't are occasionally enormous. If you size for the average you get run over by the median. If you size for the median you miss the tail that pays.

Method: daily candles, Binance spot, up day measured close vs open on the same candle. Happy to be told this breaks somewhere I didn't test.

Same issue pero never missed a payment. May home loan kami ng husband ko sa SBC and our ADA account always has funds. We have 2x the monthly amortization in that account just in case something goes wrong sa payment/schedule. Every 29th yung auto debit sa account ng MA pero starting the 20th until madebit yung MA, ang daming calls na kong nakukuha!!
Sasagutin ko pero walang nagsasalita. Kahit anong block ko sa lahat ng number nila, laging may bago. Isang taon kong tinitiis to. Nakakainis tbh
May credit card ako sa ibang bank na may one (or two) late payment, never akong tinawagan.

This happened today (Surgey Nazarov from Chainlink) for the second time in a year, and the market hardly notices. Pretty strange.
Anyways, Chainlink is going to be core technology not only for crypto (and it's already integrated with most of the biggest blockchains) but also for banking, securities, tokenization in general.
I've said it before and I'll keep saying it: Chainlink is going to legitimize parts of crypto from pointless jokes like Dogecoin and pretenders like XRP and ADA to something that has demonstrable and obvious real world utility.
I would not sleep on this.

Hi all.
Sorry if this has been chatted about. I oftentimes randomly check my Yoroi...now SecondFi wallet to see how things are going and how the staking amounts are...boring stuff like that.

I saw today that Yoroi/SecondFi is going away. My assets were there so I transferred them to my hardware wallet (Ledger). My ADA showed, but my NIGHT did not.

So I went to the NIGHT distribution page and I saw that I had NIGHT to claim. It also said I had a Lace Wallet (which I never set up so I have no keys for that wallet). I tried to redeem my current allocation of NIGHT, and I was unable to do so. I set up a new Lace Wallet and I was unable to claim my NIGHT into that. I tried to connect my LEDGER to the new LACE wallet, and it says I didn't have any NIGHT.

So I'm extremely frustrated. Just looking for any help you all can provide to me. Fortunately, my ADA is safe inside my Ledger Wallet so that's the main thing. I'm just annoyed that I have a nice little amount of NIGHT that I can't get to.
Thanks.

Happy Wednesday!
This week's Community Digest is packed. Cardano is planning to go big at TOKEN2049 Singapore, taking over a 108sqm booth with 20 ecosystem projects joining the delegation, and we're also looking back at Rare Evo 2026 with a fresh recap video capturing the energy from Las Vegas.
On governance, two on-chain actions need DRep and SPO votes before the September 1 deadline, and the Catalyst Pilot team is shaking up funding with grants up to 200k ADA tied to real-world usage. Applications for both project proposals and Decision Panel reviewers close August 25.
Also inside this edition: Creator Radar, the latest CIP updates, a roundup of ecosystem newsletters, and what's new in builder tech and office hours.
All this, and more, in today's Community Digest: [https://forum.cardano.org/t/digest-august-19-2026-cardano-at-token2049-rare-evo-2026-recap-urgent-governance-call-to-action-rethinking-catalyst-funding-real-world-impact-tech-wins-cip-updates-and-more/156342](https://forum.cardano.org/t/digest-august-19-2026-cardano-at-token2049-rare-evo-2026-recap-urgent-governance-call-to-action-rethinking-catalyst-funding-real-world-impact-tech-wins-cip-updates-and-more/156342)

Here’s what I did if it helps you out. Open Lace -> go to Staking Center -> click on my wallet and delicate my ADA to a DRep (I literally picked a random one, I did this step only to take me to the next step and un-stake) -> once I completed that I was given the option to un-stake my ADA. I was free to move my ADA once I completed the un-staking. Hopefully that helps!

I figured it out in my end. In Lace, I had to unstake my ADA and it let me move 99% of it. A small amount was left (less than 1%). But that usually happens to me whenever I’m moving around wallets. I’m not sure if there a work around to completely get 100% moved due to network fees

lol, you definitely don't sound mad at all.
Look at my comment history. I've been shorting since $78K all the way to $83K.
Then after the drop to $58K, I warned people not to short until we're past $64K, because of the liquidations. And even have the comment that straight up showed where I was buying:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1uxle5r/comment/oxy5med/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1uxle5r/comment/oxy5med/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
That still puts me in the green. Plus I now also shorted the ADA rally to $0.20. Which puts me well in the green.
Remind me again how your $74K + bags are doing?
I actually kind of feel for you tho. Just stop looking at the charts, and hodl until Q4 of 2027, and you'll be fine.

hey how to transfer my ADA to another wallet not using the seed phrase?

​
The vote to seat Cardano's newly elected 2026 Constitutional Committee needs enough support before the current members' terms expire. If it fails, the committee could fall below its required minimum, temporarily blocking the ratification of major governance actions.
This doesn't stop the Cardano network, but it can slow or block important development decisions.
We've seen with Osmosis how declining participation and voter apathy can weaken decentralized governance. Let's not repeat that.
If you hold ADA, delegate your governance power to an active DRep and check how they're voting on “Update Constitutional Committee 2026.”
Decentralization only works if we participate.

"can i get my cardano from secondfi"
Cardano is the network. The main token of the Cardano network is ADA. Therefore, I think you are asking whether you can get your ADA tokens.
SecondFi is one of many apps / programs that one can use to tell the Cardano network what you want to do with your ADA tokens. Because crypto tokens (like ADA) are FOREVER ON THE NETWORK / BLOCKCHAIN, you can use other apps / programs to 'get' them or move them.
In other words, even if you initially used SecondFi to move ADA from an exchange to a private wallet that you control, you can use other Cardano apps / programs - like Lace, Daedalus, or ADAlite - to move or otherwise use your ADA tokens, as they are still on the Cardano network.
"why people still holding cardano, the project lost all credibility."
The SecondFi wallet app / program lost credibility, not the Cardano network or its tokens (like ADA).
About a month after the SecondFi fiasco hit the news, the same nonsense happened to the Bitcoin network: the Coldcard wallet had been generating seed phrases with weak entropy (randomness), just like the SecondFi wallet had been doing. That meant that BTC owners who generated their seed phrases on Coldcards were having their wallets drained of BTC tokens\*, just as ADA owners who generated their seed phrases using SecondFi were having their ADA tokens drained by hackers who could easily guess their seed phrases.
\*= This is a simplification of what happened; not all Coldcard users had their wallets drained if they went out of their way to add extra entropy (randomness) to their seed phrase during its creation - which is a feature not supported by most wallet software, including SecondFi.

Japan should be bringing in real adoption for ADA, the US can't keep standing on the sidelines. It does not look like Congress will give us Clarity on the Clarity or Genius Act here in 2026, as Congress takes vacations for a good chunk of the year, while getting premium health care through the gov. While 99% percent of the working poor are getting by with part time gig work, which allows corporations to not provide healthcare, the entire system rotten to the core.
We need interest / rewards on stable coins NOW and gov needs to acknowledge staking of ADA, it is currently in a gray area. Also most importantly we need the ability to have crypto healthcare accounts that provide tax shelters for medical costs / medications. Cryptos must make inroads into healthcare, otherwise we are doomed here in the US.
A perfect example of this is car accidents and similar events where litigation is involved, 99.9% of citizens in the US have a cell phone / smartwatch, when you get into an accident there needs to be open source software involved where critical telemetry / metrics / vitals should be sent instantly to the ER, law firms, courts, etc... There is an enormous amount of work that needs to be done with IPFS / Blockchain in healthcare that will create a decent amount of jobs in conjunction with building out automated workflows with AI. ADA ETFs are great but only the tip of the iceberg, healthcare / crypto / blockchain adoption, when done properly should be able to fix many of the issues plaguing healthcare.
