Use only the official links below. No real recovery asks for your seed phrase or private key. If anyone offers to recover funds for you, it is a scam.
Expired Element Finance position
You hold Element v1 principal tokens (PT), yield tokens (YT) or pool shares. All tranches have ended, so they can be redeemed.
- Open the tranche contract (tranche_or_pool column) on Etherscan, Write Contract tab.
- PT: call withdrawPrincipal(amount, to). YT: call withdrawInterest(amount, to). Both only work after the tranche expiry.
- LP shares: exit the Balancer pool with exitPool first, then redeem as above.
Balancer v1 or CoW AMM pool share
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.
- Open the pool address (pool column) on the block explorer, Write Contract tab.
- Call exitPool(poolAmountIn, minAmountsOut) with your pool token amount. Use zeros for the minimums only if you accept any price.
- 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).
