1. Unclaimed Polygon PoS withdrawal

   Polygon PoS bridge

   $40 · 1 position

   You burned tokens on Polygon to withdraw to Ethereum, and the checkpoint is done, but the exit was never run on Ethereum. The tokens wait in the bridge.

   1. Open Polygon Portal and connect the wallet that withdrew.
   2. Find the withdrawal in your transactions and press Initiate Claim.
   3. Approve in your wallet, then press Claim Tokens. Pay the Ethereum gas fee. The tokens go to the burner address.

2. PoolTogether deposit still in pool

   $4 · 1 position

   You deposited into a PoolTogether v3 or v4 prize pool and never withdrew. Your deposit is still in the pool contract.

   1. Open the prize pool contract (prize_pool address) on the block explorer.
   2. v4: call withdrawFrom(from, amount) with your address. v3: call withdrawInstantlyFrom(from, amount, controlledToken, maximumExitFee).
   3. v3 can charge an early-exit fee. Confirm and check your wallet.

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. 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.

5. NEAR Rainbow Bridge withdrawal

   <$1 · 2 positions

   You moved an ERC-20 from NEAR to Ethereum and the tokens were burned on NEAR but never unlocked on Ethereum. The Ethereum light client stopped in April 2025, so claiming may not work.

   1. Open Rainbow Bridge and check if your withdrawal can still be finished.
   2. If it asks for a proof, the Ethereum light client is paused, so the step may fail.
   3. Ask the NEAR or Aurora team about the Omni Bridge for stuck Rainbow transfers.

6. deBridge order never filled

   deBridge DLN

   $0 · 1 position

   You created a deBridge order that nobody filled. The order can be cancelled only from the destination chain, by the destination order authority address. The cancel then returns your tokens on the source chain.

   1. Find your order in the deBridge app. Check it is not filled.
   2. Send the cancel transaction on the DESTINATION chain from the order's destination authority address (usually your wallet). It needs a small native fee.
   3. A cross-chain message then unlocks your tokens on the source chain. Funds go to the source order authority address.
