1. Expired veBAL lock

   Balancer

   $15 · 1 position

   Your veBAL lock ended but you never withdrew. You get 80BAL-20WETH pool tokens back, not BAL.

   1. Open the veBAL contract on Etherscan and go to Write Contract.
   2. Connect the owner wallet and call withdraw().
   3. Then exit the Balancer 80/20 pool to get BAL and WETH.

2. Balancer v2 pool share

   $15 · 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.

3. Polygon zkEVM balance

   $4 · 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.

4. KNCL never swapped to KNC

   Kyber (KNCL)

   <$1 · 1 position

   You hold old KNCL tokens that were never swapped to KNC. The KNC token contract still accepts them.

   1. Approve first: on the old KNC token (KNCL) 0xdd974D5C2e2928deA5F71b9825b8b646686BD200 call approve(spender = 0xdeFA4e8a7bcBA345F687a2f1456F5Edd9CE97202, amount).
   2. Open the KNC contract 0xdeFA4e8a7bcBA345F687a2f1456F5Edd9CE97202 on Etherscan, Write as Proxy tab, and connect your wallet.
   3. Call mintWithOldKnc(amount). It burns your KNCL and mints KNC 1 to 1.

5. 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.
