EMURGO responds to the issue of unclaimed ADA vouchers, urging the community to remain patient.

According to Foresight News, Cardano developer EMURGO has issued a statement explaining the redemption process for unclaimed ADA vouchers. It stated that although the vast majority of pre-sale ADA vouchers have been successfully redeemed, there remains a small portion that have not been redeemed by the original holders. To assist these participants in redeeming their vouchers, IOG has implemented a detailed seven-year process, which includes multiple redemption events to locate all participants and submit their registration information and related KYC documents. Given that most initial voucher holders are in Japan, EMURGO supports IOG in contacting these holders to facilitate redemption. Although in some cases holders have been successfully located, there are still some holders that have not been found. The Shelley Hard Fork has rendered the ongoing redemption of vouchers for ADA unusable, thus requiring a transfer to continue the redemption process. The identification process is carried out by local third parties using various investigative methods, including home visits. EMURGO acknowledges the community’s expectations for transparency and supports IOG in conducting an independent audit. EMURGO urges the community to be patient while awaiting the results of the independent audit, stating that once the audit results are announced, all outstanding issues will be resolved.
