1. USDC burned but not minted

   Circle CCTP

   $1,009 · 1 position

   USDC was burned on one chain through Circle CCTP but the matching USDC was never minted on the destination chain. Circle can still sign it, so it can be completed.

   1. Find the burn transaction hash on the source chain.
   2. Get the signed attestation for it from Circle's attestation API (see the Circle CCTP docs).
   3. On the destination chain, call receiveMessage(message, attestation) on the MessageTransmitter contract. You pay the gas fee. USDC goes to the recipient.

2. Lido withdrawal not claimed

   $15 · 1 position

   You asked Lido to turn stETH into ETH. The request is ready, but you never claimed the ETH. The request NFT owner can claim it.

   1. Open the Lido withdrawals page and connect the wallet that owns the request NFT.
   2. Find the request marked Claimable and press Claim.
   3. Confirm and pay gas in ETH. The ETH goes to your wallet.

3. Harmony balance (chain halted)

   $9 · 1 positionNeeds 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.

4. Polygon zkEVM balance

   $7 · 2 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.

5. PoolTogether deposit still in pool

   $4 · 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.

6. Splits or Zora rewards not withdrawn

   0xSplits, Zora

   $3 · 1 position

   Money was sent to you through 0xSplits, or you earned Zora creator or referral rewards, and it is still inside the contract waiting for you to withdraw.

   1. Splits: open SplitMain 0x2ed6c4B5dA6378c7897AC67Ba9e43102Feb694EE on Etherscan and call withdraw(account, withdrawETH, tokens[]) with your address. Anyone can call it.
   2. Zora: call withdraw(to, amount) on ProtocolRewards 0x7777777F279eba3d3Ad8F4E708545291A6fDBA8B (same address on Base and other Zora chains), from the account that earned the rewards.
   3. The Splits app (app.splits.org) can also help.

7. RPL v1 never swapped to RPL

   Rocket Pool

   $1 · 1 position

   You hold old RPL v1 tokens that were never swapped to the current RPL. The swap contract still works.

   1. Open the RocketTokenRPL contract 0xD33526068D116cE69F19A9ee46F0bd304F21A51f on Etherscan and connect your wallet.
   2. First approve: on the old RPL v1 token call approve(spender = 0xD33526068D116cE69F19A9ee46F0bd304F21A51f, amount).
   3. Then call swapTokens(amount) on 0xD335... to receive RPL 1 to 1.

8. Old Polygon Plasma bridge exit

   <$1 · 1 position

   You withdrew from Polygon through the old Plasma bridge and the exit was never finished on Ethereum. Polygon's current docs no longer describe this bridge, so the route is not confirmed.

   1. Open Polygon Portal, connect the wallet that burned the tokens, and check Transactions for your exit.
   2. If Portal shows Initiate Claim or Claim Tokens, follow it and pay the Ethereum gas fee.
   3. If it is not listed, the exit must be run on the Polygon contracts directly. Ask Polygon support, with the burn transaction hash.
