1. Unfinished zkSync withdrawal

   zkSync Era

   $14 · 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.

2. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $8 · 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.

3. 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).

4. Polygon zkEVM balance

   <$1 · 1 position

   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.
