Chia wallet corruption

Sometimes your wallet might get corrupted. Even though your wallet is synced, you may not see any XCH in your wallet or the displayed amount may be incorrect. This issue can also invalidate your pool NFT, potentially causing you to pool at the wrong pool or even self-pool unintentionally.

2. Go to the tab Advanced
3. Under the section “Resync Wallet”, click on resync
4. Restart the application and wait for the wallet to sync
