1. USDC burned but not minted

   Circle CCTP

   $171 · 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. Harmony balance (chain halted)

   $9 · 5 positionsNeeds the team

   Harmony proposed (non-binding, 7 Sept 2026) a final snapshot and an ERC-20 ONE airdrop on Ethereum. This list shows positions at the last block our data saw. You cannot sign anything on the chain now.

   1. Do not expect to withdraw this yourself. The chain is halted.
   2. Watch Harmony's official channels for the vote result and the snapshot rules.
   3. Keep access to your wallet. The proposal says the airdrop would go to the same address on Ethereum.

3. Polygon zkEVM balance

   $5 · 3 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.

4. Orbit Lending deposit on Blast

   $4 · 2 positions

   You supplied funds to Orbit Lending on Blast, which was exploited. You can still withdraw, but some markets hold less cash than is owed, so first come, first served.

   1. Open your cToken contract (listed in the row) on Blast's block explorer, Write tab, connect wallet.
   2. Call redeem(cTokenBalance) or redeemUnderlying(amount).
   3. If you have a borrow in the same market, repay it first; your collateral is locked until then.

8. Seamless v1 deposit on Base

   $1 · 1 position

   1. Open the pool contract 0x8F44Fd754285aa6A2b8B9B97739B79746e0475a7 on Basescan, Write tab, connect wallet.

9. 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.

10. Expired veBAL lock

    Balancer

    <$1 · 1 position

    Your veBAL lock ended but you never withdrew. You get 80BAL-20WETH pool tokens back, not BAL.

    1. Open the veBAL contract on Etherscan and go to Write Contract.
    2. Connect the owner wallet and call withdraw().
    3. Then exit the Balancer 80/20 pool to get BAL and WETH.

11. Balancer v2 pool share

    <$1 · 1 position

    You hold Balancer v2 pool tokens, in your wallet or staked. You can exit the pool. Balancer has proposed a wind-down: if it passes, pools become withdraw-only on 30 Oct 2026.

    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.

12. Curve fees not claimed (3CRV)

    <$1 · 1 position

    You locked CRV in veCRV and earned fee rewards in 3CRV from the old Curve fee distributor, but never claimed them. They are still in the contract.

    1. Open the contract's Write tab on the block explorer and connect your wallet.
    2. Call claim with your address. Anyone can call it; the tokens go to you.
    3. If many weeks are unclaimed, repeat the call; each call covers up to 20 weeks.
    4. Check your wallet for the 3CRV.

13. Ionic Protocol deposit

    <$1 · 1 positionMay 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.

    2. If you have an open loan, repay it first.

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.

15. IntentX trading collateral

    <$1 · 2 positionsMay not work

    You have collateral in an IntentX trading sub-account. Free collateral can be withdrawn; locked collateral needs more steps. intentx.io loads, but we could not read any withdrawal guide on it.

    1. Check intentx.io first. If it does not work, call withdrawFromAccount(subAccount, amount) on the IntentX MultiAccount contract for the free amount.
    2. Locked collateral must be deallocated first, which needs a signed proof from the Symmio oracle.
    3. Open positions must be closed or force-closed first. A developer may be needed.

16. Across deposit never filled

    $0 · 1 positionMay not work

    You sent a deposit through Across but nobody filled it on the other chain. Expired deposits are refunded by Across in batches. If no refund arrived long after expiry, contact Across support.

    1. Find your deposit transaction hash on the origin chain explorer.
    2. Look up the hash in the Across Deposit Status Tracker (linked in the Across docs). Status 'expired' means the refund is queued.
    3. Refunds go through batches that take several hours. If nothing arrives long after expiry, send the hash to Across support.
    4. No refund address was set? The refund goes to the depositor address.
