1. Hop transfer not received

   Hop Protocol

   You sent a Hop transfer long ago and it was never paid out on the destination chain. The funds are still in Hop's bridge contract and its withdraw function still works, but Hop's website and data service are gone, so there is no ready tool: the withdrawal has to be built from on-chain data.

   1. hop.exchange and every address under it (app.hop.exchange, docs.hop.exchange) no longer belong to Hop: hop.exchange now shows a gambling site. Do not open them or connect a wallet there.
   2. Find your transfer in the TransferSent event of your transaction on the origin chain (block explorer, Logs tab). It holds the transfer ID, recipient, amount, transferNonce, bonderFee and the swap values.
   3. The withdraw function also needs a Merkle proof of your transfer. Hop's open-source node tool has a withdrawal-proof command for it, but the tool reads Hop's data service at subgraph.hop.exchange, which no longer answers, so a developer has to point it at another source or rebuild the proof from on-chain events.
   4. With the proof, call withdraw on the Hop bridge contract of the destination chain (block explorer, Write tab) from the wallet that should receive the funds. You pay gas.
   5. On a Layer 2 destination you receive hTokens (for example hUSDC). They can be swapped to the native token in Hop's AMM on that chain.

2. Funds on shut-down Swellchain

   Swell closed Swellchain: the final withdrawal deadline was 2026-06-15 and the chain was to run until 2026-06-30. Withdrawals started before 15 June can still be finalized on Ethereum.

   1. If your withdrawal was started before 15 June: after the 7-day proof wait, prove it on the Ethereum OptimismPortal2 0x758E0EE66102816F5C3Ec9ECc1188860fbb87812 (proveWithdrawalTransaction).
   2. Then call finalizeWithdrawalTransaction on the same contract. You pay ETH gas.
   3. If you never started one: Swell said contract withdrawals were possible until 30 June but are technical. Ask Swell support.
