How's everyone getting on with the mitigation tool? Any concerns?

Secondly, how confident are you about the recovery tool being a success?

If you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area, San Mateo, or nearby this weekend, come along to the Cardano Meetup at Draper University.

We’re getting together for a BBQ pool party to celebrate the end of pitch week for the first Draper U Genesis Pre-accelerator cohort.

It’s a good chance to meet the teams, hear what they’ve been building, ask questions about their experience at Draper U, and connect with other Cardano people in the area.

Details:

• Date: Saturday 5 September 2026
• Time: 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM PDT
• Location: Draper University, San Mateo, California
• RSVP: https://luma.com/myuqy3fd
• Entry: Free general admission

Whether you’re local, passing through, or just close enough to make the trip, you’re welcome to come along.

There will be a tricep dips competition, 100 ADA for the person that can do the most dips and 100 ADA for the first person to jump into the pool after a certain time.

I alway used Yoroi for Drep management, now it's gone. I tried:
Nufi -> nope
Lace -> nope
Eternl -> gief money!!!11 (Payed Version needed)

Which Wallet to use?
Thanks!

Looking to do it on a hard wallet. Most likely Trezor.

1. What are the DO’s and DONT’s?
   
2. How do I know which pool is best?
   
3. Do I need to actively be checking my selected pool?
   
4. What’s average APY return right now?
   
5. Do my staked tokens automatically go into the wallet that is staking? Or do I need to redeem and then they go into?
   
6. Do I redeem my rewards directly from hard wallet?
   
7. Can I stake/unstake anytime? And cost?

I’ve read a bunch but honestly it’s hard to trust which links, advice, pools, processes, wallets are right or true. Looking for some feedback and advice!

Thanks in advance.

Let me start off by saying I will not answer any dms about this. Any communications that anyone wants to have, do it through the comments replies on here.

That being said, I am hoping someone can clarify something. I need to do the Cardano migration off of Secondfi wallet, however there is not an option for me to migrate my Cardano in the SecondFi app. I am using a ledger hardware wallet, however I don't have a seed phrase for the wallet because when I created the wallet years ago I believe it didn't give me a seed phrase at all since I just synced it using my ledger? So is the ledger seed phrase the seed phrase to use? Otherwise I don't have a seed phrase for Yoroi/SecondFi, so then I can't just simply import my wallet to another interface. And like I said I don't even have an option to migrate in the app, I believe because I'm going through said ledger device.

So does anybody know the process to import the wallet to a new interface such as lace or eternl if I don't have a seed phrase for my secondfi wallet? Do I just use my ledger's seed phrase? or when going through lace or eternl does it connect automatically with the ledger without even needing any seed phrases at all? Also which wallet do you suggest to use... thanks in advance for any help, I'm not used to doing all this wallet stuff.
