   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].

   You hold old MATIC on Ethereum that was never swapped to POL. The swap is 1 to 1. Polygon has not announced a deadline.

   1. Open the Polygon Portal upgrade page and connect your wallet. Switch the wallet to Ethereum.
   2. Approve the upgrade contract to use your MATIC.
   3. Confirm the migrate transaction to receive POL. You pay Ethereum gas.

3. Balancer v2 pool share

   $67 · 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.
