1. Balancer rescue reward not claimed

   Balancer, Merkl

   $150 · 2 positions

   After the 3 Nov 2025 Balancer v2 exploit, some funds were rescued. If you held pool tokens at the snapshot block, you can claim your share. Balancer is winding down, so claim soon.

   1. Open balancer.fi and look for the rescued-funds claim page. Connect the wallet that held the pool tokens at the snapshot block.
   2. Check your amount, sign Balancer's claim terms (you release Balancer from liability), then send the claim and pay gas.
   3. Chains: Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon. Contract wallets: Balancer asked them to write to [email protected].

2. Polygon zkEVM balance

   $61 · 3 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.

3. Unclaimed Arbitrum withdrawal

   Arbitrum One, Arbitrum Nova

   $54 · 1 position

   You withdrew ETH or tokens from Arbitrum to Ethereum but never did the final claim on Ethereum. The challenge period (about 6.4 days) is long over, so the funds can be claimed now.

   1. Open the Arbitrum bridge and connect the receiving wallet.
   2. Open Transactions and find the withdrawal marked Claim, or paste the withdrawal transaction hash.
   3. Press Claim and confirm. You pay the Ethereum gas fee. The funds go to the recipient.

4. Balancer v2 pool share

   $14 · 4 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.

6. Harmony balance (chain halted)

   $5 · 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.

7. Seamless v1 deposit on Base

   $2 · 2 positions

   You supplied funds to the Seamless v1 lending pool on Base (an Aave v3 fork). seamlessprotocol.com now redirects to X, but the pool contract still lets you withdraw.

   1. Open the pool contract 0x8F44Fd754285aa6A2b8B9B97739B79746e0475a7 on Basescan, Write tab, connect wallet.

9. Thruster v3 position on Blast

   You hold a Thruster v3 liquidity position (an NFT) on Blast. Thruster has shut down, but the position contract still works.

   1. Open the position contract 0x434575EaEa081b735C985FA9bf63CD7b87e227F9 on Blastscan, Write tab, and connect the wallet that owns the NFT.
   2. Call decreaseLiquidity with your tokenId, the liquidity amount, amount0Min, amount1Min and a deadline. Thruster's old guide explains each field.
   3. Then call collect(tokenId, recipient, max, max) to receive the tokens. You can call burn(tokenId) afterwards to delete the empty NFT.
   4. If the NFT is not in your wallet, it may be locked in another contract such as Hyperlock. Withdraw it from there first.

10. GMX v1 GLP staked

    <$1 · 1 position

    You hold staked GLP, the liquidity token of GMX v1 (Arbitrum or Avalanche). GMX stopped v1 trading in July 2025; you can only sell existing GLP back for the underlying assets.

    1. Open v1.app.gmx.io, connect your wallet and use the Sell GLP page. If your GLP is staked, the page unstakes it as part of the sale.
    2. If the page fails, call unstakeAndRedeemGlp(tokenOut, glpAmount, minOut, receiver) on RewardRouterV2: Arbitrum 0xB95DB5B167D75e6d04227CfFFA61069348d271F5.
    3. GMX docs also mention claims for GLP holders in their distributions section. Rows marked as contracts (vesters, vaults) are unclear.

11. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

    <$1 · 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.
