1. Unclaimed Starknet withdrawal

   StarkGate (Starknet)

   $27 · 1 position

   You withdrew from Starknet to Ethereum but never ran the last step on Ethereum. The funds wait in the StarkGate bridge.

   2. Open Withdraw history and find the withdrawal ready to claim.
   3. Press Complete or Claim and pay the Ethereum gas fee.

2. Balancer rescue reward not claimed

   Balancer, Merkl

   $20 · 2 positions

   After the 3 Nov 2025 Balancer v2 exploit, some funds were rescued. If you held pool tokens at the snapshot block, you can claim your share. Balancer is winding down, so claim soon.

   1. Open balancer.fi and look for the rescued-funds claim page. Connect the wallet that held the pool tokens at the snapshot block.
   2. Check your amount, sign Balancer's claim terms (you release Balancer from liability), then send the claim and pay gas.
   3. Chains: Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon. Contract wallets: Balancer asked them to write to [email protected].

3. Nile (legacy, Linea) LP tokens

   $7 · 1 position

   Nile (legacy, Linea) is a closed exchange. Your liquidity-pool (LP) tokens still give a share of the tokens in the pair contract. The website is gone, so you use the contracts directly.

   1. Find the pair contract in the 'pair' column of your row. If your LP tokens are staked in a farm, withdraw them there first.
   2. Approve the LP tokens to this exchange's old router contract, then call removeLiquidity on it in the explorer's Write tab.
   3. Never send LP tokens to the pair by hand: anyone can call burn first and take them. If no router works, ask a developer.

4. Ionic Protocol deposit

   $6 · 3 positionsMay not work

   Ionic Protocol lending is shut down and ionic.money is now a domain for sale. Your deposit receipt (ionToken) may still be redeemable, only for the cash left, first come first served.

   1. Open the ionToken contract for your market and chain in the block explorer. Find the pool list with PoolDirectory.getAllPools().
   2. If you have an open loan, repay it first.
   3. Connect your wallet and call redeem or redeemUnderlying. You get at most the cash left in the market.

5. Lisk L2 balance (closing)

   $5 · 3 positions

   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.

6. Funds in frozen StarkEx apps

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

   $3 · 1 position

   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.

7. Polygon zkEVM balance

   $2 · 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.

   1. Open the Pendle app, connect your wallet, and go to Portfolio.
   2. Find the expired position and press Redeem (for PT) or Remove liquidity (for LP).

9. Seamless v1 deposit on Base

   $1 · 1 position

   You supplied funds to the Seamless v1 lending pool on Base (an Aave v3 fork). seamlessprotocol.com now redirects to X, but the pool contract still lets you withdraw.

   1. Open the pool contract 0x8F44Fd754285aa6A2b8B9B97739B79746e0475a7 on Basescan, Write tab, connect wallet.
   2. Call withdraw(asset, amount, to) with the token address, amount = max (type(uint256).max) and your wallet.
   3. If you have debt, repay() first or withdraw only the free part.

10. Balancer v2 pool share

    <$1 · 1 position

    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.

11. 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.

12. Archived L2 bridge funds

    Archived L2s

    <$1 · 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.

13. Wormhole transfer not redeemed

    Wormhole Portal

    <$1 · 1 positionNeeds the team

    You sent tokens with Portal (Wormhole), but nobody completed the transfer on the destination chain. You can redeem it yourself with the signed VAA (the guardians' signed message).

    1. Find your transfer on Wormholescan with your source transaction hash.
    2. If it is not redeemed, open Portal Bridge, choose Redeem, and complete it with your wallet.
    3. Or copy the VAA from the Advanced tab on Wormholescan and submit it on the destination chain contract (Etherscan Write tab).

14. 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.
