1. dYdX v3 balance

   $1,001 · 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 Your USDC can still be taken out through the escape hatch, or withdrawn if already released.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.

2. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $265 · 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.

3. MKR never converted to SKY

   Maker / Sky

   $18 · 1 position

   You hold MKR, or MKR in the old DSChief voting contract, that was never converted to SKY. The converter still works. Its fee is 5% now (read on-chain 2026-10-01) and rises 1 point every 3 months.

   1. Open the Sky app and connect your wallet.
   2. If your MKR is in the old DSChief voting contract, first call free(amount) on that contract.
   3. Approve MKR, then convert it to SKY. You get 24,000 SKY per MKR minus the fee.
   4. Without the app: call mkrToSky(usr, mkrAmt) on the converter 0xA1Ea1bA18E88C381C724a75F23a130420C403f9a.

4. Across deposit never filled

   $0 · 2 positionsMay not work

   You sent a deposit through Across but nobody filled it on the other chain. Expired deposits are refunded by Across in batches. If no refund arrived long after expiry, contact Across support.

   1. Find your deposit transaction hash on the origin chain explorer.
   2. Look up the hash in the Across Deposit Status Tracker (linked in the Across docs). Status 'expired' means the refund is queued.
   3. Refunds go through batches that take several hours. If nothing arrives long after expiry, send the hash to Across support.
   4. No refund address was set? The refund goes to the depositor address.

5. LayerZero transfer stuck

   LayerZero (OFT tokens)

   $0 · 1 position

   Your LayerZero token transfer arrived on the destination chain but its message was never run. Anyone can retry it, and the tokens go to you.

   1. Look up your transaction on LayerZero Scan and note the message status.
   2. v2: LayerZero Scan can execute a stuck message from its page, or call lzReceive on EndpointV2 0x1a44076050125825900e736c501f859c50fE728c (permissionless).
   3. v1: call retryPayload on the chain's Endpoint contract (explorer Write tab). You pay gas. An empty token adapter needs the app team.
