1. Balancer rescue reward not claimed

   Balancer, Merkl

   $11 · 4 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. Alpaca v1 vault tokens

   Alpaca Finance

   $9 · 2 positions

   You hold Alpaca v1 ibTokens (deposit receipts) on BNB Chain. The vault still pays out the underlying token.

   1. Open the ibToken contract (contract column) on BscScan and go to Write Contract.
   2. Connect the owner wallet and call withdraw(shares).
   3. ibBUSD, ibETH, ibBTCB and ibUSDC were migrated: withdraw may pay a different token. If it reverts, read the contract's functions on BscScan.

3. PoolTogether deposit still in pool

   $6 · 1 position

   You deposited into a PoolTogether v3 or v4 prize pool and never withdrew. Your deposit is still in the pool contract.

   1. Open the prize pool contract (prize_pool address) on the block explorer.
   2. v4: call withdrawFrom(from, amount) with your address. v3: call withdrawInstantlyFrom(from, amount, controlledToken, maximumExitFee).
   3. v3 can charge an early-exit fee. Confirm and check your wallet.

4. Expired Element Finance position

   $6 · 2 positions

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

   1. Open the tranche contract (tranche_or_pool column) on Etherscan, Write Contract tab.
   2. PT: call withdrawPrincipal(amount, to). YT: call withdrawInterest(amount, to). Both only work after the tranche expiry.
   3. LP shares: exit the Balancer pool with exitPool first, then redeem as above.

6. MKR never converted to SKY

   Maker / Sky

   $2 · 1 positionMay not work

   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. GMX v1 GLP staked

   $1 · 1 position

   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.

8. Balancer v2 pool share

   $1 · 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.

9. Saddle pool liquidity

   Saddle Finance

   <$1 · 1 positionMay not work

   Saddle Finance is closed, but its pools still hold your share. Some pools cannot be exited because a Synthetix token in them is suspended; only Synthetix or Saddle can fix those.

   1. If your LP tokens are in a Saddle gauge, withdraw them from the gauge first.
   2. Approve the LP token to the pool, then on the pool contract's Write tab call removeLiquidity(amount, minAmounts, deadline).
   3. If your row says blocked, the exit will fail until Synthetix or Saddle acts.

10. Polygon zkEVM balance

    <$1 · 1 position

    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.

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.

12. Expired veBAL lock

    Balancer

    <$1 · 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.

13. Ended Sablier stream (no price)

    $0 · 1 position

    An ended or canceled Sablier stream whose token has no known price. Most are airdrop vesting or spam tokens, so the value is unknown and may be zero.

    1. Open the Sablier app and connect the wallet that owns the stream.
    2. Press Withdraw on the ended stream if you want the tokens.
    3. Be careful with unknown tokens: many are spam.
