1. Balancer v2 pool share

   $4 · 3 positions

   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.

2. Polygon zkEVM balance

   $3 · 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.

3. Balancer rescue reward not claimed

   Balancer, Merkl

   $3 · 2 positions

   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].

4. Alpaca v1 vault tokens

   Alpaca Finance

   <$1 · 1 position

   You hold Alpaca v1 ibTokens (deposit receipts) on BNB Chain. The vault still pays out the underlying token.

   1. Open the ibToken contract (contract column) on BscScan and go to Write Contract.
   2. Connect the owner wallet and call withdraw(shares).
   3. ibBUSD, ibETH, ibBTCB and ibUSDC were migrated: withdraw may pay a different token. If it reverts, read the contract's functions on BscScan.

5. Expired veCRV lock

   Curve

   <$1 · 1 position

   Your veCRV lock ended but the CRV was never withdrawn. It is still locked in the contract until you call withdraw.

   1. Open the veCRV VotingEscrow contract on Etherscan, Write Contract.
   2. Connect the owner wallet and call withdraw().
   3. If the owner is a smart contract that cannot make this call, the CRV stays locked.

6. 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.

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.

   <$1 · 1 position

   You deposited into a PoolTogether v3 or v4 prize pool and never withdrew. Your deposit is still in the pool contract.

   2. v4: call withdrawFrom(from, amount) with your address. v3: call withdrawInstantlyFrom(from, amount, controlledToken, maximumExitFee).
   3. v3 can charge an early-exit fee. Confirm and check your wallet.
