1. USDC burned but not minted

   Circle CCTP

   $84 · 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. STG never swapped to ZRO

   Stargate / LayerZero

   <$1 · 1 position

   You hold STG that was never swapped to ZRO. The official redemption site gives 0.08634 ZRO per STG. LayerZero says conversions end on 15 December 2026.

   1. Open the STG Redemption site and connect the wallet that holds STG on Ethereum.
   2. Sign the Terms of Conversion message when asked, approve STG, then confirm the swap.
   3. Do this before 15 December 2026. Conversions are not supported after that date.
   4. Without the site: call swap(stgAmount, signature) on 0x921949cc006A563D76Abd111a3e4c2ACe2C4273f. The signature is of the Terms text.

3. 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.

4. 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.
