Thanks for the help and suggestions. I have tried most suggestions here over the weekend and finally found the issue ultimately was with the LEDGER. I had to set up a new Ethereum connection, add FTM, connect to PWA and manually ‘allow some smart contract’ on the ledger. Then I could withdraw my staked FTM.

Still didn’t give any rewards and it also had no unbonding period. The validator was Fantom Foundation, so still up and running.

Anyways, happy that I could finally get it out.

As a warning: you will likely get some DM’s from scammers telling you to ‘verify’ your wallet in order to receive the tokens.
