1. USDC burned but not minted

   Circle CCTP

   $5 · 1 position

   USDC was burned on one chain through Circle CCTP but the matching USDC was never minted on the destination chain. Circle can still sign it, so it can be completed.

   1. Find the burn transaction hash on the source chain.
   2. Get the signed attestation for it from Circle's attestation API (see the Circle CCTP docs).
   3. On the destination chain, call receiveMessage(message, attestation) on the MessageTransmitter contract. You pay the gas fee. USDC goes to the recipient.

2. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $4 · 2 positions

   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. Archived L2 bridge funds

   Archived L2s

   $1 · 4 positionsMay 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.

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

   <$1 · 2 positions

   1. Use the official bridge of the chain you withdrew from (linked next to each of your positions).

5. Balancer v2 pool share

   <$1 · 1 position

   You hold Balancer v2 pool tokens, in your wallet or staked. You can exit the pool. Balancer has proposed a wind-down: if it passes, pools become withdraw-only on 30 Oct 2026.

   1. Open the Balancer app, find your pool and use Remove liquidity. Do this before 30 Oct 2026.
   2. If the app does not work, call exitPool on the Balancer v2 Vault 0xBA12222222228d8Ba445958a75a0704d566BF2C8 (Etherscan, Write tab).
   3. If your tokens are staked in Aura, Beefy or a gauge, unstake there first.

6. Unclaimed Orbit chain withdrawal

   Arbitrum Orbit chains (Robinhood, Plume, ApeChain and others)

   <$1 · 2 positions

   You withdrew from an Arbitrum Orbit chain to its parent chain, but the last step (execute on the parent chain) was never done. The funds are held in the 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, or paste the withdrawal transaction hash.
   3. When the challenge period is over, press Claim. You pay the gas fee on the parent chain.

7. IntentX trading collateral

   <$1 · 1 positionMay not work

   You have collateral in an IntentX trading sub-account. Free collateral can be withdrawn; locked collateral needs more steps. intentx.io loads, but we could not read any withdrawal guide on it.

   1. Check intentx.io first. If it does not work, call withdrawFromAccount(subAccount, amount) on the IntentX MultiAccount contract for the free amount.
   2. Locked collateral must be deallocated first, which needs a signed proof from the Symmio oracle.
   3. Open positions must be closed or force-closed first. A developer may be needed.
