Regaining Access to Lockdrop Accounts

We want to remind our users that lockdrop accounts were specifically created for the purpose of claiming ASTR lockdrop rewards and were not intended for ongoing transactions or use as regular accounts. Importantly, access to these accounts was disabled one and a half years following the claim period, impacting users who had not withdrawn their funds within this extended timeframe.

To support our users in accessing their funds, we are temporarily updating Shiden and Astar to restore access to these lockdrop accounts. This initiative represents a limited support window aimed at facilitating the withdrawal of funds from a feature that is gradually being phased out.

Reconnecting Your Lockdrop Account:​
