The move follows a June 23 exploit that has now resulted in closing down the wallet, with users urged to withdraw their assets before all functions are disabled on Aug. 3, 2026.
Non-custodial multichain cryptocurrency wallet Ctrl Wallet will shut down its services, weeks after a security exploit, and told users on Tuesday to withdraw their assets within the next month.
Ctrl Wallet reported a security issue on June 23 effecting some Cardano wallets on the platform and said it entered a temporary "maintenance mode" to protect user assets until its engineering team restores full functionality.
Earlier today, the wallet's operators announced that starting Aug. 3, 2026, sending, receiving, swapping funds and all other actions within the app will be unavailable, except for exporting users' recovery phrases.
The app will be removed from both app and browser extension stores, while downloads will be halted immediately, Ctrl Wallet said in a blog post.
Ahead of the Aug. 3 deadline, users can transfer their assets from Ctrl Wallet to another exchange or crypto wallet. After that, users will only be able to import their recovery phrase into another compatible wallet provider. Ctrl Wallet “strongly” recommended that users export their assets before Aug. 3.

Ctrl Wallet said that users can export their 12-word or 24-word recovery phrase into compatible wallets, including MetaMask, Trust Wallet and Phantom.
The wallet provider said there will not be a migration token or an airdrop event and urged users to exercise caution when encountering fake social media posts or websites promising similar incentives.
Ctrl Wallet, formerly XDEFI Wallet, lists between 11 and 50 employees and over 650,000 monthly users on its LinkedIn page. The wallet supported over 2,500 blockchain networks, including Cardano and Midnight.

🦊 小靓解读
Ctrl Wallet 因6月23日的安全漏洞被迫关停，用户需在8月3日前撤资。这反映出非托管钱包在安全防护上仍有短板，短期可能打击用户对Cardano生态钱包的信任。
📊 市场影响
事件对ADA价格影响有限，但可能引发短期抛压，尤其是关联钱包的代币。中短期看，类似安全事件会促使资金流向更成熟的交易所或硬件钱包。
💡 操作建议
建议持有ADA的用户尽快从Ctrl Wallet导出私钥，转移至安全钱包如Ledger或OKX Web3。避免在事件完全平息前使用受影响平台进行交易。
