1. Balancer v2 pool share

   $34,967 · 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.

2. Polkadot 2017 sale DOT unclaimed

   Polkadot, Kusama

   $1,186 · 1 positionMay not work

   This Ethereum address bought DOT in the 2017 Polkadot sale, or got KSM in the 2019 Kusama drop, and never claimed it. You need the Ethereum wallet that bought it to sign one message.

   1. Follow the Polkadot wiki claims guide. In Polkadot-JS apps (Polkadot or Kusama), go to Developer > Extrinsics.
   2. Use claims.claim, or claims.claim_attest with the statement text if the row needs it.
   3. Sign the message with the Ethereum wallet that bought (personal_sign) and give a Polkadot account to receive. Part may be vesting-locked.

3. Old SAI stablecoin to cash out

   Maker SAI

   $143 · 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.

4. Funds on shut-down Swellchain

   Swellchain, Swell

   $37 · 1 position

   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.

5. Ellipsis LP tokens

   $34 · 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. MKR never converted to SKY

   Maker / Sky

   $23 · 1 position

   You hold MKR, or MKR in the old DSChief voting contract, that was never converted to SKY. The converter still works. Its fee is 5% now (read on-chain 2026-10-01) and rises 1 point every 3 months.

   1. Open the Sky app and connect your wallet.
   2. If your MKR is in the old DSChief voting contract, first call free(amount) on that contract.
   3. Approve MKR, then convert it to SKY. You get 24,000 SKY per MKR minus the fee.
   4. Without the app: call mkrToSky(usr, mkrAmt) on the converter 0xA1Ea1bA18E88C381C724a75F23a130420C403f9a.

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

   $14 · 4 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.

8. Prisma Finance leftover funds

   $6 · 1 position

   Prisma was exploited in 2024 and wound down. You may have collateral left over after a redemption, Stability Pool gains or deposits, or other claimable funds. They are still in the contracts.

   1. Read the wind-down guide linked below to see which pot your row is in.
   2. Leftover collateral: on the Trove Manager contract in your row, Write tab, call claimCollateral(receiver) from your wallet.
   3. Stability Pool 0xed8b26d99834540c5013701bb3715fafd39993ba: call withdrawFromSP(0), then claimCollateralGains(recipient, collateralIndexes). Deposits: withdrawFromSP(amount).

9. FTM never moved to Sonic (S)

   Fantom to Sonic

   $5 · 1 position

   You hold FTM on Ethereum that was never moved to S on Sonic. Sonic's guide says the Sonic Gateway bridges it 1 to 1.

   1. Open the Sonic Gateway and connect the wallet that holds FTM on Ethereum.
   2. Select FTM (Ethereum), enter the amount, click Bridge and approve the transactions.
   3. When the Claim button appears, claim your S on Sonic. Sonic's guide is from 2024, so check the Gateway still lists FTM (Ethereum).

10. K2 (Karak) chain balance

    $3 · 1 positionNeeds the team

    The K2 team's bridge on Ethereum now pays balances by Merkle proof (a list that proves your balance). The merkle root is set and claims are not paused. After 2027-09-12 the guardian can sweep what is left.

    1. Ask the K2 team for your Merkle proof. We could not find an official page that gives proofs.
    2. On the OptimismPortal 0xeeCE9CD7Abd1CC84d9dfc7493e7e68079E47eA73 call claimETH(_amount, _proof) for ETH.
    3. For tokens, call claimTokens(_tokens, _amounts, _proof) on the L1StandardBridge 0xBA61F25dd9f2d5f02D01B1C2c1c5F0B14c4B48A3.

11. Orbit Lending deposit on Blast

    <$1 · 2 positionsMay not work

    You supplied funds to Orbit Lending on Blast, which was exploited. You can still withdraw, but some markets hold less cash than is owed, so first come, first served.

    1. Open your cToken contract (listed in the row) on Blast's block explorer, Write tab, connect wallet.
    2. Call redeem(cTokenBalance) or redeemUnderlying(amount).
    3. If you have a borrow in the same market, repay it first; your collateral is locked until then.

    0xSplits, Zora

    <$1 · 1 position

    Money was sent to you through 0xSplits, or you earned Zora creator or referral rewards, and it is still inside the contract waiting for you to withdraw.

    1. Splits: open SplitMain 0x2ed6c4B5dA6378c7897AC67Ba9e43102Feb694EE on Etherscan and call withdraw(account, withdrawETH, tokens[]) with your address. Anyone can call it.
    2. Zora: call withdraw(to, amount) on ProtocolRewards 0x7777777F279eba3d3Ad8F4E708545291A6fDBA8B (same address on Base and other Zora chains), from the account that earned the rewards.
    3. The Splits app (app.splits.org) can also help.

13. Balancer v1 or CoW AMM pool share

    <$1 · 1 position

    You hold tokens of an old Balancer v1 pool or a Balancer CoW AMM pool. There is no Balancer app for v1, but you can leave the pool through the contract.

    1. Open the pool address (pool column) on the block explorer, Write Contract tab.
    2. Call exitPool(poolAmountIn, minAmountsOut) with your pool token amount. Use zeros for the minimums only if you accept any price.
    3. If your tokens are staked elsewhere, withdraw them there first. Balancer also publishes an open-source exit tool: github.com/balancer/exit-ui (no hosted copy was online on 2026-10-01).
