Hello! I have an old dero wallet created in 2018. Using dero-wallet-cli-linux-amd64 tool version from 2018, as I maintain a copy of the blockchain, I can open the wallet and see the balance properly.

dERogxcN 0/0 0.00000000 | 57.30000000>>> status
Wallet Version : 1.0.2-alpha.9+14042018
Wallet Height : 0	 Daemon Height 0 
Locked balance   : 57.300000000000
Unlocked balance : 0.000000000000
Total balance    : 57.300000000000

Just for reference, this is one of the transactions available:

Height 68096 transaction 345da9017ea5348da235d32c099630415558ab6c51eff682b87f7c8b982b02f2 received 2.000000000000 DERO

However, I have tried opening this wallet using lastest dero official release (Release114) and that wallet can't be opened. Whenever I put the correct password, it answers with this error message:

ERROR wallet Error ocurred while opening wallet file {"filename": "/path/to/wallet.dero", "error": "invalid character '``' looking for beginning of value"}

If I check my wallet address on the dero blockchain explorer (explorer.dero.io), it reports "No details found in database".

Can somebody help with this? Many thanks in advance!

Update:
I could generate the 25 words seed from my old wallet. After that, recovered the wallet using recovery seed with the latest client wallet (dero-wallet-cli-linux-amd64 version 3.5.2-114.DEROHE.STARGATE+01102022). The wallet was succesfully recovered:

30/12 08:09:59 INFO wallet Successfully recovered wallet from seed

After that, I used menu option number 4 (Account registration to blockchain (registration has no fee requirement and is precondition to use the account)). That takes a while to complete.

And after that, I check the balance, and see 0.00

dero1qyk 1424395/1424395 0.00000  >>> status
Wallet Version : 3.5.2-114.DEROHE.STARGATE+01102022
Wallet Height : 1424395	 Daemon Height 1424395 
DERO Balance    : 0.00000

Please, some help with this would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

You missed the swap from last year to move your funds from Atlantis chain (2018-2022) to new chain Stargate (2022-now).

Stay tuned on dero channels (discord for example) for upcoming announcements for those who missed the swap deadline.

Oh, really? I was not aware of that! I suppose there will be more people in my situation. I will stay tuned as suggested. Many thanks for that information!

Hi I have a similar issue, I was able to restore my wallet on the web wallet at https://wallet.dero.io/ and access it. However, there is a 0 balance now presumably due to the Atlantis to Stargate migration. Can anyone help advise to the missing funds? Thank you

Sounds like you missed the "swap" for balance transfers.
Please go to discord and await for further instructions in the #announcement channel.
