1. USDC burned but not minted

   Circle CCTP

   $40 · 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. Unfinished zkSync withdrawal

   zkSync Era

   $27 · 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.

3. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $11 · 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.

4. deBridge order never filled

   deBridge DLN

   $5 · 2 positions

   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.

5. Funds in frozen StarkEx apps

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

   $4 · 1 positionMay not work

   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.

6. Lisk L2 balance (closing)

   $4 · 1 position

   Lisk's own chain closes on 2026-10-31. Lisk says withdrawing to Ethereum takes about 8 days, and unstaking LSK adds 3 days. Start now.

   1. Open the Lisk bridge (type bridge.lisk.com yourself) and connect your wallet.
   2. Withdraw your assets to Ethereum. If you staked LSK, unlock it first and wait 3 days.
   3. After the wait, prove and finalize the withdrawal on Ethereum. You pay gas on both chains.

7. Unclaimed Linea withdrawal

   $3 · 1 position

   You withdrew ETH or tokens from Linea to Ethereum but never claimed them on Ethereum. They wait in the bridge.

   1. Open the Linea bridge and connect the receiving wallet.
   2. Open your transaction history and find the withdrawal marked ready to claim.
   3. Press Claim and pay the Ethereum gas fee.

8. Nucleus vault shares

   Nucleus (BoringVault)

   $1 · 1 position

   Nucleus deprecated its vaults on 19 Dec 2025 and the withdraw page is gone. You can redeem vault shares through the Teller contract, but only for assets the vault still holds.

   1. Read the Nucleus deprecation guide first.
   2. Check which tokens the vault still holds, and your vault token balance, on Etherscan (or the Plume explorer).
   3. On the vault's Teller contract, Write tab, call bulkWithdraw(withdrawAsset, shareAmount, minimumAssets, to). The guide says to use 0 for minimumAssets.

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

   <$1 · 1 position

   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.

10. Splits or Zora rewards not withdrawn

    0xSplits, Zora

    <$1 · 1 position

    Money was sent to you through 0xSplits, or you earned Zora creator or referral rewards, and it is still inside the contract waiting for you to withdraw.

    1. Splits: open SplitMain 0x2ed6c4B5dA6378c7897AC67Ba9e43102Feb694EE on Etherscan and call withdraw(account, withdrawETH, tokens[]) with your address. Anyone can call it.
    2. Zora: call withdraw(to, amount) on ProtocolRewards 0x7777777F279eba3d3Ad8F4E708545291A6fDBA8B (same address on Base and other Zora chains), from the account that earned the rewards.
    3. The Splits app (app.splits.org) can also help.

11. Hyperlane transfer not delivered

    Hyperlane warp routes

    $0 · 1 positionMay not work

    Your tokens were taken on the origin chain by a Hyperlane route, but the message was not delivered after 7 days. Anyone can deliver it.

    1. Open Hyperlane Explorer and search your transaction hash.
    2. If the message is undelivered and 'Underfunded', pay more interchain gas as shown in the Hyperlane docs, or relay it with the Hyperlane CLI.
    3. Once delivered, the recipient gets the tokens. If delivery keeps failing, the route owner must fix it.
