1. Balancer v3 pool share

   $22 · 1 position

   You hold Balancer v3 pool tokens, in your wallet or staked. You can exit the pool. Under Balancer's wind-down proposal, the v3 Vault would pause on 30 Nov 2026, so withdraw before then.

   1. Open the Balancer app, find your pool and use Remove liquidity.
   2. If the pool is paused, anyone can call enableRecoveryMode(pool) on the v3 Vault 0xbA1333333333a1BA1108E8412f11850A5C319bA9. Then call removeLiquidityRecovery on the Router.
   3. If your tokens are staked in a gauge, Aura or Beefy, unstake there first.

2. Expired Element Finance position

   $8 · 1 position

   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.

3. dYdX v3 balance

   $5 · 1 position

   dYdX v3 was shut down and its exchange was set to 'frozen' on Ethereum. Your USDC can still be taken out through the escape hatch, or withdrawn if already released.

   1. Open dYdX's v3 sunset post and use the Escape Hatch link in its last update. It is hosted by an independent third party.
   2. Escape needs a proof for your stark key and position. The page builds it; the escape call goes to StarkPerpetual 0xD54f502e184B6B739d7D27a6410a67dc462D69c8.
   3. Then call withdraw from your registered Ethereum address to receive the USDC. You pay Ethereum gas.

5. RNDR never swapped to RENDER

   <$1 · 1 positionMay not work

   You hold old RNDR on Ethereum that was never upgraded. The Render upgrade portal swaps it 1 to 1 for RENDER on Solana. The swap is one-way.

   1. Open the Render upgrade portal. You need an Ethereum wallet with RNDR and a Solana wallet.
   2. Connect both wallets.
   3. Approve RNDR and confirm the upgrade. You pay Ethereum gas.

6. 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.

7. 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.
