Nova Wallet

Our 2025 Novasama Yearly Report is live ✨ A full look at what we built, shipped, fixed, and learned across Nova Wallet, Spektr, Vault & more. None of this happens without our community — truly. Thank you 💝 Read here: medium.com/novasama-techn…

There are also reports of an exploit on the SubQuery Network, where an attacker was able to steal funds from on-chain staking contracts due to a missing access control vulnerability. Nova Wallet uses SubQuery as a data indexing service – this means that we read blockchain data through the SubQuery indexer. This is entirely separate from SubQuery Network’s staking smart contracts that were exploited. Our use of the indexer poses zero risk to user funds. Your assets in Nova Wallet are not affected by this exploit.

Your DOT in Nova Wallet is SAFU. Today’s Hyperbridge exploit affected the bridged DOT token contract on Ethereum, not the Polkadot network itself. This exploit affects those who held bridged DOT on Ethereum via Hyperbridge. It does not affect users who hold or stake DOT using Nova Wallet. As always – all users should remain vigilant and not interact with links claiming to offer “recovery”, “assistance”, or “compensation”.

Finally, the full release of the Dynamic Allocation Pool (DAP) is expected to be enacted a bit later on in the year. For the sake of clarity, there has been an initial rollout of DAP with Polkadot runtime upgrades v2.1.0/2.1.1. Mainly, a basic version of the DAP pallet – introducing a permanent account that can hold DOT, along with stopping the burning of DOT from the entire system, and redirecting validator slashed DOT to this new account. The full release of DAP will introduce more significant economic changes, allowing the Polkadot DAO to allocate separate budgets for validators and nominators, partial stablecoin payments to validators (to cover operational costs), and a strategic reserve. These changes will require going through Polkadot’s governance before anything is fully decided. Find out more over on the Polkadot Forum: forum.polkadot.network/t/polkadot-sta…

A minimum self-stake of 10,000 DOT will be enforced upon validators. This change is currently NOT live. It is expected to be live by the end of May. If a validator misbehaves, this is the DOT that will be slashed. The DOT of nominators (stakers) will no longer be slashed. Due to this update in requirements, there is a risk that some Polkadot validators will be chilled (become inactive). Closer to the time that this future runtime upgrade will be applied, all DOT stakers should double-check that their Validators won’t be chilled by not meeting the minimum self-stake requirements. This is not something that you need to do right now, as it is expected that a large portion of validators will be unbonding their DOT from other staking positions in order to re-bond it as validator self-stake to satisfy these requirements. For stakers, this is an easy thing to navigate, as you simply need to change your Validators through Nova Wallet: docs.novawallet.io/nova-wallet-wi…

The Polkadot DAO voted to change various aspects of the DOT token issuance, staking, validators & the treasury. In this thread, we will provide you with an up-to-date summary of the changes that have already been implemented, and an updated expected timeline for future changes.

In addition, the Polkadot DAO recently approved setting the minimum Validator commission to 10% via referendum #1872. This change has now been enacted on Polkadot. It is expected that the minimum Validator self-stake requirements will be live by the end of May. x.com/NovaWalletApp/…

In case you missed it – the Polkadot DAO voted to change the issuance parameters of the DOT token. Our v10.8.2 update reflects the new issuance parameters, so the staking APY you see in Nova Wallet now accurately accounts for the post-halving changes.
