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

   $1,796 · 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.

2. dYdX v3 balance

   $341 · 1 position

   dYdX v3 was shut down and its exchange was set to 'frozen' on Ethereum. Your USDC can still be taken out through the escape hatch, or withdrawn if already released.

   1. Open dYdX's v3 sunset post and use the Escape Hatch link in its last update. It is hosted by an independent third party.
   2. Escape needs a proof for your stark key and position. The page builds it; the escape call goes to StarkPerpetual 0xD54f502e184B6B739d7D27a6410a67dc462D69c8.
   3. Then call withdraw from your registered Ethereum address to receive the USDC. You pay Ethereum gas.

3. Ellipsis LP tokens

   $29 · 1 position

   You hold Ellipsis stablecoin or BTC pool tokens on BNB Chain, in your wallet or staked. The contracts still work; the Ellipsis site did not load when checked.

   1. If staked, call emergencyWithdraw(pid) on LpTokenStaker 0xcce949De564fE60e7f96C85e55177F8B9E4CF61b; normal withdraw fails.
   2. Then call remove_liquidity or remove_liquidity_one_coin on the pool contract.
   3. Use BscScan's Write Contract tab.

4. Curve fees not claimed (3CRV)

   $22 · 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.

5. KEEP never swapped to T

   Threshold (KEEP)

   $1 · 1 position

   You hold old KEEP tokens that were never wrapped into T. The Threshold VendingMachine still does the swap.

   1. Open the KEEP VendingMachine 0xE47c80e8c23f6B4A1aE41c34837a0599D5D16bb0 on Etherscan, Write tab, and connect your wallet.
   2. First approve: on the KEEP token 0x85eee30c52b0b379b046fb0f85f4f3dc3009afec call approve(spender = the VendingMachine, amount). Amounts use 18 decimals.
   3. Then call wrap(amount) on the VendingMachine to receive T. Threshold says there is no deadline.

6. PieDAO index token

   <$1 · 2 positionsYou can claim<$1May not work<$1

   PieDAO index tokens (pies) on Ethereum are still backed by a basket of tokens. You can exit the pool and get the underlying tokens.

   1. Open the pie token contract (the 'contract' column) in the explorer, Write tab, and connect your wallet.
   2. Call exitPool(amount) to receive the basket tokens pro rata.
   3. USD++ failed in a test. If your token is in a Balancer or Uniswap pool, remove that liquidity first.

7. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   <$1 · 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.

8. Expired Element Finance position

   <$1 · 1 position

   You hold Element v1 principal tokens (PT), yield tokens (YT) or pool shares. All tranches have ended, so they can be redeemed.

   1. Open the tranche contract (tranche_or_pool column) on Etherscan, Write Contract tab.
   2. PT: call withdrawPrincipal(amount, to). YT: call withdrawInterest(amount, to). Both only work after the tranche expiry.
   3. LP shares: exit the Balancer pool with exitPool first, then redeem as above.

9. Old SAI stablecoin to cash out

   Maker SAI

   <$1 · 1 position

   SAI (the first Dai) was shut down. Each SAI can still be cashed for a fixed amount of WETH: 0.0052856 WETH per SAI (read from the contract).

   1. Approve first: on the SAI token 0x89d24A6b4CcB1B6fAA2625fE562bDD9a23260359 call approve(spender = 0xBda109309f9FafA6Dd6A9CB9f1Df4085B27Ee8eF, amount).
   2. Open the SaiTap contract 0xBda109309f9FafA6Dd6A9CB9f1Df4085B27Ee8eF on Etherscan, Write tab, and connect your wallet.
   3. Call cash(wad) with your SAI amount. You receive WETH.
