   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.

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

   $14 · 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.

3. Unclaimed OP Stack chain withdrawal

   Blast, Mantle, Mode, Zora, Lisk, Ink, Unichain and other OP chains

   $4 · 1 position

   You withdrew from an OP Stack chain to Ethereum but never completed the last step. The funds wait in that chain's bridge.

   1. Use the official bridge of the chain you withdrew from (linked next to each of your positions).
   2. Connect the receiving wallet and open your transactions. Press Prove, wait out the challenge period shown on the page, then press Finalize.
   3. Pay the Ethereum gas fee each time.

4. Gas deposit in EntryPoint

   ERC-4337 EntryPoint

   <$1 · 1 positionMay not work

   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.

5. Polygon zkEVM balance

   <$1 · 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.

6. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   <$1 · 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.

7. Wormhole transfer not redeemed

   Wormhole Portal

   $0 · 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).
