1. Unclaimed Polygon PoS withdrawal

   Polygon PoS bridge

   $1,000 · 1 position

   You burned tokens on Polygon to withdraw to Ethereum, and the checkpoint is done, but the exit was never run on Ethereum. The tokens wait in the bridge.

   1. Open Polygon Portal and connect the wallet that withdrew.
   2. Find the withdrawal in your transactions and press Initiate Claim.
   3. Approve in your wallet, then press Claim Tokens. Pay the Ethereum gas fee. The tokens go to the burner address.

2. Balancer v2 pool share

   $315 · 2 positions

   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. REPv1 never swapped to REPv2

   Augur (REP)

   $130 · 1 position

   You hold old REPv1 tokens that were never swapped to REPv2. The REPv2 contract still accepts them.

   1. Approve first: on REPv1 0x1985365e9f78359a9B6AD760e32412f4a445E862 call approve(spender = 0x221657776846890989a759BA2973e427DfF5C9bB, your full REPv1 balance).
   2. Open the REPv2 contract 0x221657776846890989a759BA2973e427DfF5C9bB on Etherscan, Write tab, and connect your wallet.
   3. Call migrateFromLegacyReputationToken(). It moves your whole REPv1 balance and mints REPv2 1 to 1.

4. Expired veBAL lock

   Balancer

   $93 · 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.

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

   $12 · 1 position

   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.
