1. Tokens sent into a contract

   Circle USDC, Paxos, WLFI and others

   $8,069 · 1 positionNeeds the team

   You sent tokens by mistake to a token or protocol contract and they are still inside. Only the team or DAO that controls that contract can send them back. Some rows have no path at all.

   1. Find the project that owns the contract that holds your tokens.
   2. Write to its support or governance forum. Include your transaction hash as proof.
   3. The team may use a rescue function, a contract upgrade or a DAO vote. There is no guarantee.

2. PieDAO index token

   $1,328 · 4 positionsMay not work

   PieDAO index tokens (pies) on Ethereum are still backed by a basket of tokens. You can exit the pool and get the underlying tokens.

   1. Open the pie token contract (the 'contract' column) in the explorer, Write tab, and connect your wallet.
   2. Call exitPool(amount) to receive the basket tokens pro rata.
   3. USD++ failed in a test. If your token is in a Balancer or Uniswap pool, remove that liquidity first.

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

   $554 · 9 positions

   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.

4. Alongside AMKT index fund share

   $458 · 1 positionMay not work

   You hold AMKT, a crypto index token. The vault still holds WBTC and wstETH behind it, but we found no confirmed redeem route and the project site is gone.

   1. Open the AMKT token on Etherscan and find the issuer or redeemer contract it links to.
   2. Try its redeem function from your holder wallet. This was not tested, so it may fail.
   3. Tokens held by exchanges, bridges or pools belong to other people, not the contract.
