Unable to unlock staked GLMR from Ledger + MetaMask account – ‘Transaction not ready: required parameters missing’ error

I need your help with an issue related to unlocking my previously staked GLMR tokens.

About a year ago, I staked my full GLMR balance through MetaMask connected to a Ledger device. Everything worked fine — tokens were locked and visible in my account the whole time.

Recently, I waited the required unbonding period (around a month) and now I’m trying to claim (unlock) my funds via apps.moonbeam.network/moonbeam/open-gov.

However, when I click “Unlock OpenGov Funds”, I get this error:

:cross_mark: Transaction not ready: required parameters missing

You can see it on the attached screenshot.
The UI also shows that 78,170 GLMR are ready to be unlocked, but the transaction never goes through.

I already tried:

  • Connecting both MetaMask and Ledger directly;

  • Using Polkadot.js Apps with the same account (Ledger extension);

  • Submitting convictionVoting.unlock manually — transaction succeeded, but the balance is still locked in the dApp;

  • Waiting several blocks and refreshing the session — no change.

It seems like the UI or the Ledger integration isn’t properly passing parameters to the unlock call.


:speech_balloon: My question:

  • How can I manually or safely unlock these funds?

  • Should I contact support via a specific channel (Moonbeam Foundation, PureStake, or Ledger)?

  • Is there a known issue with Ledger-connected accounts in OpenGov unlock flow?

Any guidance or manual fix would be greatly appreciated — I’ve been staking responsibly and just want to move my tokens to a new staking setup (https://app.stellaswap.com/pools).

Hi, Alberto
Thanks for your reply and for forwarding the message.
The problem is still ongoing and I haven’t been able to resolve it for a couple of days.

Hello @George_Vartanov
The issue in the dapp should be fixed now. Where you able to unlock your funds?
Thanks for reporting
