1. Balancer rescue reward not claimed

   Balancer, Merkl

   $582 · 5 positions

   After the 3 Nov 2025 Balancer v2 exploit, some funds were rescued. If you held pool tokens at the snapshot block, you can claim your share. Balancer is winding down, so claim soon.

   1. Open balancer.fi and look for the rescued-funds claim page. Connect the wallet that held the pool tokens at the snapshot block.
   2. Check your amount, sign Balancer's claim terms (you release Balancer from liability), then send the claim and pay gas.
   3. Chains: Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon. Contract wallets: Balancer asked them to write to [email protected].

2. Polygon zkEVM balance

   $41 · 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. Ionic Protocol deposit

5. Lisk L2 balance (closing)

   $28 · 2 positions

   1. Open the Lisk bridge (type bridge.lisk.com yourself) and connect your wallet.
   2. Withdraw your assets to Ethereum. If you staked LSK, unlock it first and wait 3 days.
   3. After the wait, prove and finalize the withdrawal on Ethereum. You pay gas on both chains.

6. Seamless v1 deposit on Base

7. Balancer v2 pool share

   $6 · 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).

8. Orbit Lending deposit on Blast

   $4 · 2 positions

   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.

9. Nucleus vault shares

   Nucleus (BoringVault)

   $4 · 3 positions

   Nucleus deprecated its vaults on 19 Dec 2025 and the withdraw page is gone. You can redeem vault shares through the Teller contract, but only for assets the vault still holds.

   1. Read the Nucleus deprecation guide first.
   2. Check which tokens the vault still holds, and your vault token balance, on Etherscan (or the Plume explorer).
   3. On the vault's Teller contract, Write tab, call bulkWithdraw(withdrawAsset, shareAmount, minimumAssets, to). The guide says to use 0 for minimumAssets.

10. GMX v1 GLP staked

    $3 · 2 positions

    You hold staked GLP, the liquidity token of GMX v1 (Arbitrum or Avalanche). GMX stopped v1 trading in July 2025; you can only sell existing GLP back for the underlying assets.

    1. Open v1.app.gmx.io, connect your wallet and use the Sell GLP page. If your GLP is staked, the page unstakes it as part of the sale.
    2. If the page fails, call unstakeAndRedeemGlp(tokenOut, glpAmount, minOut, receiver) on RewardRouterV2: Arbitrum 0xB95DB5B167D75e6d04227CfFFA61069348d271F5.
    3. GMX docs also mention claims for GLP holders in their distributions section. Rows marked as contracts (vesters, vaults) are unclear.

11. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

    $3 · 2 positions

    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.

12. Moonbeam balance (chain halted)

    <$1 · 1 positionNeeds the team

    Moonbeam's public migration 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.

13. Wormhole transfer not redeemed

    Wormhole Portal

    1. Find your transfer on Wormholescan with your source transaction hash.
    2. If it is not redeemed, open Portal Bridge, choose Redeem, and complete it with your wallet.
    3. Or copy the VAA from the Advanced tab on Wormholescan and submit it on the destination chain contract (Etherscan Write tab).

14. Unclaimed OP Mainnet or Base withdrawal

    Optimism, Base

    $0 · 1 position

    You withdrew ETH or tokens from OP Mainnet or Base to Ethereum but never did the last step on Ethereum. The funds wait in the bridge contract.

    1. OP Mainnet: open the Optimism bridge (app.optimism.io/bridge), connect the receiving wallet, open your withdrawal, press Prove, then Finalize after 7 days.
    2. Base: Base's docs list Superbridge and Brid.gg as its bridges. Open one, connect the receiving wallet, find the withdrawal, press Prove, then Finalize.
    3. Base waits 5 days after Prove (1 day if both a TEE proof and a ZK proof back it). Pay the Ethereum gas fee each time.
