1. Validator with old withdrawal key

   Ethereum staking

   $20,458 · 1 position

   This validator still has old 0x00 withdrawal credentials. Its ETH cannot be sent out until the owner of the withdrawal mnemonic signs a change to a normal Ethereum address.

   1. Only the holder of the withdrawal mnemonic can do this. Use it offline, never in a website, with staking-deposit-cli or ethdo.
   2. Broadcast the signed change with the Launchpad withdrawals page or a beacon explorer.
   3. After it is included, the balance is paid to your new address automatically.

2. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $7 · 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.

3. Kine Finance collateral

   $6 · 2 positions

   You deposited collateral in Kine. kine.finance no longer loads. The kTokens can be redeemed 1:1 through the contract, unless you still owe kUSD.

   1. Open your kToken contract (contract column) on the block explorer, Write Contract.
   2. Call redeem(amount) with your kToken balance.
   3. If you owe kUSD, repay it on the kMCD contract first.

4. Stake in PancakeSwap MasterChef v1

   $5 · 1 position

   You staked LP or CAKE in the first PancakeSwap farm contract and left it there. The contract still lets you withdraw.

   1. Open MasterChef v1 (0x73feaa1eE314F8c655E354234017bE2193C9E24E) on BscScan and use Write Contract.
   2. Connect the staking wallet and call withdraw(pid, amount) or emergencyWithdraw(pid). For pool 0 (CAKE), use leaveStaking(amount).
   3. Then remove liquidity from the LP token if you want the two coins.

5. Balancer v2 pool share

   $3 · 1 position

   You hold Balancer v2 pool tokens, in your wallet or staked. You can exit the pool. Balancer has proposed a wind-down: if it passes, pools become withdraw-only on 30 Oct 2026.

   1. Open the Balancer app, find your pool and use Remove liquidity. Do this before 30 Oct 2026.
   2. If the app does not work, call exitPool on the Balancer v2 Vault 0xBA12222222228d8Ba445958a75a0704d566BF2C8 (Etherscan, Write tab).
   3. If your tokens are staked in Aura, Beefy or a gauge, unstake there first.

6. dYdX v3 balance

   $3 · 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.
