1. Tokens sent into a contract

   Circle USDC, Paxos, WLFI and others

   $455 · 1 positionNeeds the team

   You sent tokens by mistake to a token or protocol contract and they are still inside. Only the team or DAO that controls that contract can send them back. Some rows have no path at all.

   1. Find the project that owns the contract that holds your tokens.
   2. Write to its support or governance forum. Include your transaction hash as proof.
   3. The team may use a rescue function, a contract upgrade or a DAO vote. There is no guarantee.

2. Lisk L2 balance (closing)

   $35 · 4 positions

   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.

3. Polygon zkEVM balance

   $9 · 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.

4. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $3 · 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.

5. Balancer v2 pool share

   $2 · 2 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. Expired Element Finance position

   <$1 · 1 position

   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.
   2. PT: call withdrawPrincipal(amount, to). YT: call withdrawInterest(amount, to). Both only work after the tranche expiry.
   3. LP shares: exit the Balancer pool with exitPool first, then redeem as above.

7. Thruster v3 position on Blast

   <$1 · 1 position

   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.

8. Orbit Lending deposit on Blast

   <$1 · 1 position

   You supplied funds to Orbit Lending on Blast, which was exploited. You can still withdraw, but some markets hold less cash than is owed, so first come, first served.

   1. Open your cToken contract (listed in the row) on Blast's block explorer, Write tab, connect wallet.
   2. Call redeem(cTokenBalance) or redeemUnderlying(amount).
   3. If you have a borrow in the same market, repay it first; your collateral is locked until then.

9. Stake in PancakeSwap MasterChef v1

   <$1 · 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.

10. Hyphen bridge funds stuck

    Biconomy Hyphen

    <$1 · 1 position

    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.

11. Unclaimed Polygon PoS withdrawal

    Polygon PoS bridge

    $0 · 2 positionsMay not work

    You burned tokens on Polygon to withdraw to Ethereum, and the checkpoint is done, but the exit was never run on Ethereum. The tokens wait in the bridge.

    1. Open Polygon Portal and connect the wallet that withdrew.
    2. Find the withdrawal in your transactions and press Initiate Claim.
    3. Approve in your wallet, then press Claim Tokens. Pay the Ethereum gas fee. The tokens go to the burner address.
