1. Funds on shut-down Swellchain

   Swellchain, Swell

   $5 · 1 position

   Swell closed Swellchain: the final withdrawal deadline was 2026-06-15 and the chain was to run until 2026-06-30. Withdrawals started before 15 June can still be finalized on Ethereum.

   1. If your withdrawal was started before 15 June: after the 7-day proof wait, prove it on the Ethereum OptimismPortal2 0x758E0EE66102816F5C3Ec9ECc1188860fbb87812 (proveWithdrawalTransaction).
   2. Then call finalizeWithdrawalTransaction on the same contract. You pay ETH gas.
   3. If you never started one: Swell said contract withdrawals were possible until 30 June but are technical. Ask Swell support.

2. Polygon zkEVM balance

   $3 · 2 positions

   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.

3. Lisk L2 balance (closing)

   $2 · 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.

4. Archived L2 bridge funds

   Archived L2s

   $2 · 1 positionMay 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.

5. Gas deposit in EntryPoint

   ERC-4337 EntryPoint

   <$1 · 1 position

   A smart account or paymaster deposited gas money in the ERC-4337 EntryPoint contract and left it there. Plain wallets can take it out; smart contract accounts often cannot.

   1. Open the EntryPoint contract for your chain and version on the block explorer.
   2. From the deposit account, call withdrawTo with your receiving address and the amount.
   3. If the account is a smart contract, check that it has a function that calls withdrawTo; many do not. Stake needs unlockStake, then withdrawStake.

6. 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.

7. 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.
