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

   $232 · 5 positions

   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. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $174 · 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.

3. Polygon zkEVM balance

   $95 · 3 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.

5. Ellipsis LP tokens

   $52 · 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.

6. Stake in PancakeSwap MasterChef v1

   $31 · 4 positions

   You staked LP or CAKE in the first PancakeSwap farm contract and left it there. The contract still lets you withdraw.

   1. Open MasterChef v1 (0x73feaa1eE314F8c655E354234017bE2193C9E24E) on BscScan and use Write Contract.
   2. Connect the staking wallet and call withdraw(pid, amount) or emergencyWithdraw(pid). For pool 0 (CAKE), use leaveStaking(amount).
   3. Then remove liquidity from the LP token if you want the two coins.

7. Balancer v2 pool share

   $11 · 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.

8. dYdX v3 balance

   $8 · 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.

   Stargate / LayerZero

   <$1 · 1 positionMay not work

   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.

   4. Without the site: call swap(stgAmount, signature) on 0x921949cc006A563D76Abd111a3e4c2ACe2C4273f. The signature is of the Terms text.

10. Ended Sablier stream (no price)

    $0 · 1 position

    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.

11. Funds in frozen StarkEx apps

    Sorare, Immutable X, ApeX Pro, edgeX v1, Myria

    $0 · 1 positionMay not work

    Some StarkEx apps keep balances off-chain. A pending withdrawal can be claimed now. A deposit-only record cannot: the app operator must first publish data.

    1. Check the row type. A pending withdrawal can be claimed now; a deposit ledger row cannot.
    2. For a pending withdrawal, call withdraw with your owner key and asset type on the app's StarkEx contract (Etherscan). Funds go to your registered address.
    3. For a frozen app, the escape hatch needs the operator or data committee to publish state first. See the StarkWare docs.
