1. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $135 · 3 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.

2. K2 (Karak) chain balance

   $13 · 1 positionNeeds the team

   The K2 team's bridge on Ethereum now pays balances by Merkle proof (a list that proves your balance). The merkle root is set and claims are not paused. After 2027-09-12 the guardian can sweep what is left.

   1. Ask the K2 team for your Merkle proof. We could not find an official page that gives proofs.
   2. On the OptimismPortal 0xeeCE9CD7Abd1CC84d9dfc7493e7e68079E47eA73 call claimETH(_amount, _proof) for ETH.
   3. For tokens, call claimTokens(_tokens, _amounts, _proof) on the L1StandardBridge 0xBA61F25dd9f2d5f02D01B1C2c1c5F0B14c4B48A3.

3. Polygon zkEVM balance

   $7 · 3 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. Balancer v1 or CoW AMM pool share

   $5 · 1 position

   You hold tokens of an old Balancer v1 pool or a Balancer CoW AMM pool. There is no Balancer app for v1, but you can leave the pool through the contract.

   1. Open the pool address (pool column) on the block explorer, Write Contract tab.
   2. Call exitPool(poolAmountIn, minAmountsOut) with your pool token amount. Use zeros for the minimums only if you accept any price.
   3. If your tokens are staked elsewhere, withdraw them there first. Balancer also publishes an open-source exit tool: github.com/balancer/exit-ui (no hosted copy was online on 2026-10-01).

   1. Open the AutoFarmV2 chef contract (chef column) on the block explorer, Write Contract.
   2. Connect your wallet and call withdraw(pid, amount).

6. Harmony balance (chain halted)

   $4 · 5 positionsNeeds the team

   Harmony proposed (non-binding, 7 Sept 2026) a final snapshot and an ERC-20 ONE airdrop on Ethereum. This list shows positions at the last block our data saw. You cannot sign anything on the chain now.

   1. Do not expect to withdraw this yourself. The chain is halted.
   2. Watch Harmony's official channels for the vote result and the snapshot rules.
   3. Keep access to your wallet. The proposal says the airdrop would go to the same address on Ethereum.

7. Expired veCRV lock

   Curve

   $4 · 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.

8. Saddle pool liquidity

   Saddle Finance

   $4 · 1 positionNeeds the team

   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.

    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.

13. Curve fees not claimed (3CRV)

    $2 · 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.

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

    $1 · 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.

15. Seamless v1 deposit on Base

    <$1 · 1 position

    You supplied funds to the Seamless v1 lending pool on Base (an Aave v3 fork). seamlessprotocol.com now redirects to X, but the pool contract still lets you withdraw.

    1. Open the pool contract 0x8F44Fd754285aa6A2b8B9B97739B79746e0475a7 on Basescan, Write tab, connect wallet.
    2. Call withdraw(asset, amount, to) with the token address, amount = max (type(uint256).max) and your wallet.
    3. If you have debt, repay() first or withdraw only the free part.
