2. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $20 · 5 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.

3. USDC burned but not minted

   Circle CCTP

   $11 · 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.

4. MKR never converted to SKY

   Maker / Sky

   $6 · 2 positions

   You hold MKR, or MKR in the old DSChief voting contract, that was never converted to SKY. The converter still works. Its fee is 5% now (read on-chain 2026-10-01) and rises 1 point every 3 months.

   1. Open the Sky app and connect your wallet.
   2. If your MKR is in the old DSChief voting contract, first call free(amount) on that contract.
   3. Approve MKR, then convert it to SKY. You get 24,000 SKY per MKR minus the fee.
   4. Without the app: call mkrToSky(usr, mkrAmt) on the converter 0xA1Ea1bA18E88C381C724a75F23a130420C403f9a.

   3. Then exit the Balancer 80/20 pool to get BAL and WETH.

7. Balancer v2 pool share

   $4 · 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.

8. Polygon zkEVM balance

   $4 · 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.

9. Lisk L2 balance (closing)

   $4 · 1 position

   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.

    $1 · 1 position

    You hold a Thruster v3 liquidity position (an NFT) on Blast. Thruster has shut down, but the position contract still works.

    1. Open the position contract 0x434575EaEa081b735C985FA9bf63CD7b87e227F9 on Blastscan, Write tab, and connect the wallet that owns the NFT.
    2. Call decreaseLiquidity with your tokenId, the liquidity amount, amount0Min, amount1Min and a deadline. Thruster's old guide explains each field.
    3. Then call collect(tokenId, recipient, max, max) to receive the tokens. You can call burn(tokenId) afterwards to delete the empty NFT.
    4. If the NFT is not in your wallet, it may be locked in another contract such as Hyperlock. Withdraw it from there first.

11. Old Polygon Plasma bridge exit

    $1 · 1 position

    You withdrew from Polygon through the old Plasma bridge and the exit was never finished on Ethereum. Polygon's current docs no longer describe this bridge, so the route is not confirmed.

    1. Open Polygon Portal, connect the wallet that burned the tokens, and check Transactions for your exit.
    2. If Portal shows Initiate Claim or Claim Tokens, follow it and pay the Ethereum gas fee.
    3. If it is not listed, the exit must be run on the Polygon contracts directly. Ask Polygon support, with the burn transaction hash.

12. MATIC never swapped to POL

    Polygon

13. GMX v1 GLP staked

    <$1 · 1 position

    You hold staked GLP, the liquidity token of GMX v1 (Arbitrum or Avalanche). GMX stopped v1 trading in July 2025; you can only sell existing GLP back for the underlying assets.

    1. Open v1.app.gmx.io, connect your wallet and use the Sell GLP page. If your GLP is staked, the page unstakes it as part of the sale.
    2. If the page fails, call unstakeAndRedeemGlp(tokenOut, glpAmount, minOut, receiver) on RewardRouterV2: Arbitrum 0xB95DB5B167D75e6d04227CfFFA61069348d271F5.
    3. GMX docs also mention claims for GLP holders in their distributions section. Rows marked as contracts (vesters, vaults) are unclear.

14. Saddle pool liquidity

    Saddle Finance

    <$1 · 1 position

    Saddle Finance is closed, but its pools still hold your share. Some pools cannot be exited because a Synthetix token in them is suspended; only Synthetix or Saddle can fix those.

    1. If your LP tokens are in a Saddle gauge, withdraw them from the gauge first.
    2. Approve the LP token to the pool, then on the pool contract's Write tab call removeLiquidity(amount, minAmounts, deadline).
    3. If your row says blocked, the exit will fail until Synthetix or Saddle acts.

15. 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.

17. Ended Sablier stream (no price)

    $0 · 2 positions

    An ended or canceled Sablier stream whose token has no known price. Most are airdrop vesting or spam tokens, so the value is unknown and may be zero.

    1. Open the Sablier app and connect the wallet that owns the stream.
    2. Press Withdraw on the ended stream if you want the tokens.
    3. Be careful with unknown tokens: many are spam.
