1. Expired veCRV lock

   Curve

   $1,293 · 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   Your veCRV lock ended but the CRV was never withdrawn.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.

2. Ionic Protocol deposit

   $287 · 1 positionMay not work

   Ionic Protocol lending is shut down and ionic.money is now a domain for sale. Your deposit receipt (ionToken) may still be redeemable, only for the cash left, first come first served.

   1. Open the ionToken contract for your market and chain in the block explorer. Find the pool list with PoolDirectory.getAllPools().
   2. If you have an open loan, repay it first.
   3. Connect your wallet and call redeem or redeemUnderlying. You get at most the cash left in the market.

3. USDC burned but not minted

   Circle CCTP

   $77 · 1 position

   USDC was burned on one chain through Circle CCTP but the matching USDC was never minted on the destination chain. Circle can still sign it, so it can be completed.

   1. Find the burn transaction hash on the source chain.
   2. Get the signed attestation for it from Circle's attestation API (see the Circle CCTP docs).
   3. On the destination chain, call receiveMessage(message, attestation) on the MessageTransmitter contract. You pay the gas fee. USDC goes to the recipient.

4. Curve fees not claimed (3CRV)

   $17 · 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.

5. Old Maker SCD vault collateral

   $16 · 1 positionMay not work

   You own an old single-collateral Dai vault (CDP) that still has collateral (PETH) left after the system was shut down.

   1. Open the Tub contract 0x448a5065aeBB8E423F0896E6c5D525C040f59af3 on Etherscan, Write tab.
   2. If the vault still has debt, anyone can call bite(cupId) first. Then the vault owner calls free(cup, ink) to get PETH.
   3. Call exit(wad) to swap PETH for WETH. If a DSProxy owns the vault, send these calls through the proxy.

   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. Moonriver balance (chain halted)

   $7 · 1 positionNeeds the team

   Moonriver's public migration of MOVR to Base closed on 31 July 2026. The team reviews late claims by email, one by one. The announced late window was 60 days, so it may have closed.

   1. Read the Moonbeam team's late-claim notice (forum link).
   2. Contact [email protected] with your wallet address, token, amount, where it is held and why you missed the deadline.
   3. Expect a manual review with no set reply time. Never share your seed phrase.

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

   $3 · 3 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.

10. Old SAI stablecoin to cash out

    Maker SAI

    <$1 · 1 positionMay not work

    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.

11. 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 hold Element v1 principal tokens (PT), yield tokens (YT) or pool shares. All tranches have ended, so they can be redeemed.

    2. PT: call withdrawPrincipal(amount, to). YT: call withdrawInterest(amount, to). Both only work after the tranche expiry.
