Today, InvArch (ParaID 3340) performed a lease swap on @Polkadot with @XodeNet (ParaID 3417). This gave Xode the remainder of InvArch’s parachain slot. Crowdloan data now points to Xode, but will still dissolve in 41 days & release locked $DOT. This is the end for InvArch… 💔

Note: This is also impacting Trust Wallet.

There was a change recently on Polkadot where staking "locks" are now "holds". This is causing issues with Ledger Live displaying balances. Please rest assured that these are only display issues. You can check your balance using another wallet or a block explorer like Subscan.
