Hello. Congratulations on the resumption of Yoki Origins from tomorrow. Now, I have a question. My wallet is showing my past assets due to the rewind. Also, I still have Yoki NFTs in my wallet that I thought I sold. Please restore your wallet before resuming Yoki. This will also affect the leaderboard. Also, is it okay to make a transaction when my wallet is showing my past assets?

I’m so excited Yoki will be back tomorrow!

“Hello, I’m from the Astar Korea community. I’m curious if I can receive compensation/restoration/recovery. I’ve heard from the Korean team that it’s difficult to receive compensation/restoration/recovery. I sold one Yoki Legendary and used the Ethereum I received to collect paid NFTs and Omars through about 150 Quickswap NFT mintings. I climbed up to rank 48 on the Yoki Origins leaderboard. However, I’m extremely frustrated to hear that I can’t receive compensation for these. When I asked why, I was told it’s because I used the Ethereum received after selling on Larible. It seems like because Yoki Legendary came back to me, that’s the reason. Who will compensate for my time and effort? I think I worked more passionately than anyone else, but I’m very angry and disappointed. And why do I have to fill out the form myself? I’m still typing using ChatGPT. Can’t the Astar team find out and compensate directly? What difference does it make if I fill out the form? If I don’t fill out the form, will I not receive compensation? Please, think about the members of the Korean community. They are very angry.”

Hey everyone,

We’re committed to keeping our communication channels open and transparent. Here’s an update on the recent Astar zkEVM incident:


  1. We’ve successfully reinstated all funds to our affected users. Here’s the breakdown:

    Bridges

    • LayerZero: all impacted transactions have been resolved. Users on Astar L1 all received their ASTR.
    • LayerSwap: all affected transactions are sorted out and been compensated.
    • RelayLink: the team is actively working on resolving pending transactions now that they received the full compensation.
    • uLxLy (native bridge): all users are able to claim their assets through our portal. There was no impact on any bridged asset.

    Onramp

    • Alchemy Pay: there was no impact for our users.
    • Crossmint: all users who used credit card through Crossmint are refunded.

    Please Note: we’re still awaiting action from third-party bridges, like Owlto. In case something is still not sorted out, we recommend you to reach out to the support of the 3rd party bridge or to fill out the form.


  1. Yoki Origins Enthusiasts: we’ve rewarded all impacted wallets with 12 OMA tokens. Let’s continue the Yoki journey!

    Pro Tip: Got over 50 OMAs? Spend some before claiming your daily OMA rewards for maximum benefit.

Does this include transactions involving sales on Rarible? I sold several NFTs on Rarible, and many transactions were rolled back. I’m considering filing a report. However, I understand that your assurance of “your funds are safe” may only apply to missing transactions on the bridge. So, I need clarification on this.

We all know that the core teams have been working tirelessly through the night to resolve this issue. Below are a part of community inquiries about their funds that have been compiled for your reference.

Has the team completed its internal recovery measures, or are they still ongoing?

Obviously, it’s difficult to discuss everything officially without clear answers yet, but one of the main things the community is most curious about is the extent of our collaboration with Polygon and how we are addressing community concerns.

For example, there may be many inquiries about transactions that have not been recovered, and submitting invisible transaction is difficult. Therefore, aside from bridges and on-ramps, does everyone need to submit their issues through a Google form? If they are unaware of their transactions, they won’t be able to submit them. Is it physically challenging to address all these concerns, including on-chain interactions like those on Rarible, Quickswap and the Yoki Yoport?

I’m sure the team is aware that addressing these is crucial for the community, but I just wanted to emphasize it.

Additionally, for Yoki Origins players, if addressing all transaction-related issues physically is challenging, could we consider retroactively applying Lore points as a reward for their efforts? If possible, this might significantly alleviate the frustration of our loyal users.

Past transactions have disappeared and NFTs that should have been sold are still on sale on Rarible. Is it necessary to forcefully restart Yoki Orgins while the bug is still ongoing? Looking at the timeline, there must be people who bought gold Yoki but lost it. Such people will definitely drop in the leaderboard.

After the reopening of Yoki Origins, encountering ‘Oops, transaction denied’ messages is identical to what happened before. It’s frustrating that the server instability persists. I don’t understand why this keeps happening. Please, if you have to rebuild it, do it properly this time."

Additionally, the 35 OMAs received as rewards for active participation in the Korean community from Astar Korea team have also disappeared. Will this be recovered as well? Should I provide my wallet address here?

Hi @astar-korea

Please dont post your wallet here, just for security reasons. I’m not able to give you hands-on support through the forum. Best place is to go to our main Discord and open a ticket for our managers to support you.

bridge from astar zkevm to astar need 1 week to get funds now,( their statement: Discord )
this is insane, it is possible to reduce the time ? could you communicate with layerzoro team?

We are and they confirmed they made sure all funds will be transferred to the impacted users.

Thank you for contacting us on the forum and caring about our ideas.
All the points we earned and the fuse nfts we created during that 3 day interval when you canceled the Yoki event were tx cancelled . What will be the use of giving 12 oma as compensation? Can you look at the leaderboard and see how the gap widened between points? While it was ranked 10th before the update, it now ranked 85th. Please find a fair solution for the transactions made during those three days. We only worked for the event, not the time and money we lost. Thank you all
