If you participated in the Incentivized Testnet (ITN) and earned rewards by running a stake pool or delegating your stake, you can now redeem your rewards as ada on the Cardano mainnet. 

Daedalus 2.2.0 has a “Redeem Incentivized Testnet rewards” feature which allows the redemption of ITN rewards to a Shelley wallet.

To redeem your ITN rewards in the latest version of Daedalus, you must have the following:

  • The 15-word ITN wallet recovery phrase (from the Daedalus Rewards wallet that contains the rewards.)
  • A Shelley wallet with enough funds to pay the transaction fees. 

NOTE: You can not redeem your ada if you lost your 15-word ITN wallet recovery phrase, even you can access to your rewards balance from your ITN wallet.

 

How to redeem ITN rewards. Daedalus users and stake pools with a recovery phrase.

1. Have a Shelley wallet restored on Daedalus, you need it to have funds to pay for the transaction fee. 

2. Click on the ITN button in the left panel:
