1. Unfinished zkSync withdrawal

   zkSync Era

   $8 · 1 position

   You started a withdrawal from zkSync Era (or a similar ZK Stack chain) to Ethereum, but never finalized it on Ethereum. The money sits in the L1 bridge.

   1. Open the ZKsync bridge and connect your wallet.
   2. Find the withdrawal that is ready to finalize. Withdrawals are delayed about 3 hours after they are sent.
   3. Press Finalize and pay the Ethereum gas fee. The funds go to the receiver address.

2. Archived L2 bridge funds

   Archived L2s

   <$1 · 1 positionMay not work

   This chain shut down and its state is gone, so no one can prove a withdrawal now. The Ethereum bridge still holds the money; only the chain team can release it.

   1. Use the official bridge of the chain you withdrew from (linked next to each of your positions).
   2. Check that chain's official site for a refund or recovery notice.
   3. Without the chain's final state nobody can prove a withdrawal. Only the chain team can release the bridge funds.

3. Orbit Lending deposit on Blast

   <$1 · 1 positionMay not work

   You supplied funds to Orbit Lending on Blast, which was exploited. You can still withdraw, but some markets hold less cash than is owed, so first come, first served.

   1. Open your cToken contract (listed in the row) on Blast's block explorer, Write tab, connect wallet.
   2. Call redeem(cTokenBalance) or redeemUnderlying(amount).
   3. If you have a borrow in the same market, repay it first; your collateral is locked until then.

4. Funds in frozen StarkEx apps

   Sorare, Immutable X, ApeX Pro, edgeX v1, Myria

   <$1 · 1 position

   Some StarkEx apps keep balances off-chain. A pending withdrawal can be claimed now. A deposit-only record cannot: the app operator must first publish data.

   1. Check the row type. A pending withdrawal can be claimed now; a deposit ledger row cannot.
   2. For a pending withdrawal, call withdraw with your owner key and asset type on the app's StarkEx contract (Etherscan). Funds go to your registered address.
   3. For a frozen app, the escape hatch needs the operator or data committee to publish state first. See the StarkWare docs.

5. Unclaimed OP Stack chain withdrawal

   Blast, Mantle, Mode, Zora, Lisk, Ink, Unichain and other OP chains

   <$1 · 1 position

   You withdrew from an OP Stack chain to Ethereum but never completed the last step. The funds wait in that chain's bridge.

   1. Use the official bridge of the chain you withdrew from (linked next to each of your positions).
   2. Connect the receiving wallet and open your transactions. Press Prove, wait out the challenge period shown on the page, then press Finalize.
   3. Pay the Ethereum gas fee each time.

6. Polygon zkEVM balance

   <$1 · 1 position

   Polygon zkEVM's sequencer stopped on 1 July 2026. Wallet-held funds not bridged before then can be claimed on Ethereum in a claim UI. Polygon treats unclaimed assets as abandoned after 2027-12-31.

   1. Open the Polygon zkEVM claims site and connect the wallet that held the funds.
   2. Pick your balances and send the claim transaction on Ethereum.
   3. Funds locked inside DeFi contracts are not auto-migrated. Ask Polygon through the forum post.

7. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   <$1 · 1 position

   zkSync Lite was shut down on 2026-05-04. Remaining balances are claimable on Ethereum through a claim contract and a withdrawal portal. Your account is on that list and has not claimed.

   1. Open the zkSync Lite withdrawal portal and connect the wallet that owned the account.
   2. The portal finds your address in the final state, builds the proof and sends the claim. Follow its prompts.
   3. Confirm the Ethereum transaction. Tokens go to your L1 address. Matter Labs sponsors gas for the first 100,000 withdrawals.
