1. Balancer v2 pool share

   $25 · 6 positions

   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.

2. Expired Element Finance position

   $17 · 4 positions

   You hold Element v1 principal tokens (PT), yield tokens (YT) or pool shares. All tranches have ended, so they can be redeemed.

   1. Open the tranche contract (tranche_or_pool column) on Etherscan, Write Contract tab.

3. Ribbon or Opyn vault funds

5. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $12 · 3 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.

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

   $9 · 5 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.

7. dYdX v3 balance

   $7 · 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.

11. Hyphen bridge funds stuck

    Biconomy Hyphen

    $2 · 2 positions

    Hyphen (Biconomy) is no longer supported. Liquidity provider positions may still be withdrawn from the contracts. Transfers that never arrived need the Biconomy team. We could not confirm this from official docs.

    1. If you provided liquidity, call removeLiquidity with your NFT id on the chain's LiquidityProviders contract on Etherscan (Write tab).
    2. For a farming NFT, first call withdraw(nftId, to) on the LiquidityFarming contract.
    3. If you sent a transfer that never arrived, contact Biconomy; only their executors can release it.

12. CAP Finance pool deposit

    CAP Finance (v3 LP pools)

    <$1 · 1 position

    CAP Finance (v3) on Arbitrum is closed. Your liquidity deposit is still in the pool contract, but you can take out only what pool utilization allows, minus a withdraw fee.

    1. Open the pool contract listed in your row's 'pool' column on Arbiscan or Arbitrum Blockscout, Write tab.
    2. Connect your wallet and call withdraw(clpAmount) with your CLP amount.
    3. Expect less than the full amount if the pool is in use. Pay the fee in ETH on Arbitrum.

13. Saddle pool liquidity

    Saddle Finance

    <$1 · 1 position

    Saddle Finance is closed, but its pools still hold your share. Some pools cannot be exited because a Synthetix token in them is suspended; only Synthetix or Saddle can fix those.

    1. If your LP tokens are in a Saddle gauge, withdraw them from the gauge first.
    2. Approve the LP token to the pool, then on the pool contract's Write tab call removeLiquidity(amount, minAmounts, deadline).
    3. If your row says blocked, the exit will fail until Synthetix or Saddle acts.

14. Expired veCRV lock

    Curve

    <$1 · 1 position

    Your veCRV lock ended but the CRV was never withdrawn. It is still locked in the contract until you call withdraw.

    1. Open the veCRV VotingEscrow contract on Etherscan, Write Contract.
    2. Connect the owner wallet and call withdraw().
    3. If the owner is a smart contract that cannot make this call, the CRV stays locked.

15. Splits or Zora rewards not withdrawn

    0xSplits, Zora

    <$1 · 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.

    3. The Splits app (app.splits.org) can also help.

16. Curve fees not claimed (3CRV)

    <$1 · 1 position

    You locked CRV in veCRV and earned fee rewards in 3CRV from the old Curve fee distributor, but never claimed them. They are still in the contract.

    1. Open the contract's Write tab on the block explorer and connect your wallet.
    2. Call claim with your address. Anyone can call it; the tokens go to you.
