Summary
Dymension, a modular blockchain project, recently conducted a large-scale airdrop of its staking and governance token. However, some users, particularly those using the Phantom wallet paired with Ledger hardware wallets, encountered difficulties accessing their airdropped tokens. Phantom users were unable to claim their tokens using the project’s staking page, and were instead instructed to import their wallet’s seed phrase into MetaMask. Those with Ledger hardware wallets faced even more challenges due to the unusual derivation path used by Phantom. The Dymension team has not responded to requests for comment. This incident highlights the ongoing issues and complexity of user experiences in the crypto industry.
Key Points
1. Users of the Phantom wallet, particularly those paired with Ledger hardware wallets, experienced difficulties accessing the airdropped tokens of Dymension, a modular blockchain project.
2. Phantom users were unable to claim Dymension tokens through the project’s staking page, leading to a workaround where they were advised to import their wallet’s seed phrase into MetaMask.
3. The issue was further complicated for users with Ledger hardware wallets, as the derivation path used by Phantom made it impossible to import the wallet used for claiming Dymension tokens using MetaMask’s default settings.
