1. Lighter withdrawal not collected

   $3 · 1 position

   You withdrew from Lighter and the money reached the Ethereum contract, but you never collected it. It waits in the contract for you.

   1. Open the Lighter app and go to withdraw history.
   2. Press the claim button on the pending withdrawal. Or use the Write tab of the ZkLighter contract 0x3B4D794a66304F130a4Db8F2551B0070dfCf5ca7 on Etherscan and call withdrawPendingBalance.
   3. Confirm and pay the Ethereum gas fee. Funds go to the owner address.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Unclaimed OP Mainnet or Base withdrawal

   Optimism, Base

   <$1 · 1 position

   You withdrew ETH or tokens from OP Mainnet or Base to Ethereum but never did the last step on Ethereum. The funds wait in the bridge contract.

   1. OP Mainnet: open the Optimism bridge (app.optimism.io/bridge), connect the receiving wallet, open your withdrawal, press Prove, then Finalize after 7 days.
   2. Base: Base's docs list Superbridge and Brid.gg as its bridges. Open one, connect the receiving wallet, find the withdrawal, press Prove, then Finalize.
   3. Base waits 5 days after Prove (1 day if both a TEE proof and a ZK proof back it). Pay the Ethereum gas fee each time.
