1. Lighter withdrawal not collected

   $16 · 1 position

   You withdrew from Lighter and the money reached the Ethereum contract, but you never collected it. It waits in the contract for you.

   1. Open the Lighter app and go to withdraw history.
   2. Press the claim button on the pending withdrawal. Or use the Write tab of the ZkLighter contract 0x3B4D794a66304F130a4Db8F2551B0070dfCf5ca7 on Etherscan and call withdrawPendingBalance.
   3. Confirm and pay the Ethereum gas fee. Funds go to the owner address.

2. Archived L2 bridge funds

   Archived L2s

   $11 · 3 positionsMay not work

   This chain shut down and its state is gone, so no one can prove a withdrawal now. The Ethereum bridge still holds the money; only the chain team can release it.

   1. Use the official bridge of the chain you withdrew from (linked next to each of your positions).
   2. Check that chain's official site for a refund or recovery notice.
   3. Without the chain's final state nobody can prove a withdrawal. Only the chain team can release the bridge funds.

3. Polygon zkEVM balance

   <$1 · 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.
