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

   $174 · 2 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.

3. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $45 · 2 positions

   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.

4. Archived L2 bridge funds

   Archived L2s

   $31 · 2 positionsMay not work

   This chain shut down and its state is gone, so no one can prove a withdrawal now. The Ethereum bridge still holds the money; only the chain team can release it.

   1. Use the official bridge of the chain you withdrew from (linked next to each of your positions).
   2. Check that chain's official site for a refund or recovery notice.
   3. Without the chain's final state nobody can prove a withdrawal. Only the chain team can release the bridge funds.

5. Lisk L2 balance (closing)

   $1 · 1 position

   Lisk's own chain closes on 2026-10-31. Lisk says withdrawing to Ethereum takes about 8 days, and unstaking LSK adds 3 days. Start now.

   1. Open the Lisk bridge (type bridge.lisk.com yourself) and connect your wallet.
   2. Withdraw your assets to Ethereum. If you staked LSK, unlock it first and wait 3 days.
   3. After the wait, prove and finalize the withdrawal on Ethereum. You pay gas on both chains.

6. Polygon zkEVM balance

   <$1 · 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.

   <$1 · 1 position

   Swell closed Swellchain: the final withdrawal deadline was 2026-06-15 and the chain was to run until 2026-06-30. Withdrawals started before 15 June can still be finalized on Ethereum.

   1. If your withdrawal was started before 15 June: after the 7-day proof wait, prove it on the Ethereum OptimismPortal2 0x758E0EE66102816F5C3Ec9ECc1188860fbb87812 (proveWithdrawalTransaction).
   2. Then call finalizeWithdrawalTransaction on the same contract. You pay ETH gas.
   3. If you never started one: Swell said contract withdrawals were possible until 30 June but are technical. Ask Swell support.
