1. Funds in old Ethereum contracts (2015-2021)

   $284 · 5 positions

   You have a balance in an old Ethereum contract (The DAO, EtherDelta, IDEX, the 2017 ENS registrar, DigixDAO and others). Each contract has its own withdraw call. Use the wallet that owns the position.

   1. The DAO: on the DAO token 0xbb9bc244d798123fde783fcc1c72d3bb8c189413 call approve(0xbf4ed7b27f1d666546e30d74d50d173d20bca754, yourBalance). Then call withdraw() on the WithdrawDAO contract 0xbf4ed7b27f1d666546e30d74d50d173d20bca754. It pays 1 ETH per 100 DAO.
   2. EtherDelta 0x8d12a197cb00d4747a1fe03395095ce2a5cc6819: from the wallet that deposited, call withdraw(amount) for ETH or withdrawToken(token, amount) for a token. Amounts are in the token's smallest unit.
   3. IDEX v1 0x2a0c0dbecc7e4d658f48e01e3fa353f44050c208: call withdraw(token, amount). Use token 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 for ETH. It reverts if your last IDEX activity was fewer than 240 blocks ago.
   4. 2017 ENS registrar 0x6090a6e47849629b7245dfa1ca21d94cd15878ef: call releaseDeed(labelhash) for the name. The labelhash is keccak256 of the name without .eth. The deposit goes back to the deed owner.
   5. Other contracts (DigixDAO, Neufund and more): use the contract's own withdraw or refund function on Etherscan from the owner wallet. Check the contract's code first.

2. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $186 · 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. ETH in Blur Pool

   $10 · 1 position

   You deposited ETH into the Blur Pool to bid on NFTs and never took it out. 1 pool token equals 1 ETH and you can withdraw at any time.

   1. Open the Blur Pool contract on Etherscan and go to Write as Proxy or Write Contract.
   2. Connect the wallet that holds the balance.
   3. Call withdraw with the amount in wei (18 decimals), then confirm.

4. xAAVE fund tokens

   xToken

   <$1 · 1 position

   You hold xAAVE, a fund token backed by AAVE. Minting is paused, but burning still works and pays out your share of the AAVE.

   1. Find your token. xAAVEa is 0x80DC468671316E50D4E9023D3Db38D3105c1C146 and xAAVEb is 0x704de5696df237c5b9ba0de9ba7e0c63da8ea0df. Open it on Etherscan, Write as Proxy tab, and connect your wallet.
   2. Call burn(tokenAmount, false, minReturn) with your balance. Set minReturn to the least AAVE you accept.
   3. You get your share of the fund's AAVE: about 0.01 AAVE per token at the last check, not 1 to 1.

5. Unclaimed Polygon PoS withdrawal

   Polygon PoS bridge

   $0 · 4 positionsMay not work

   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.
