   2. Approve the upgrade contract to use your MATIC.
   3. Confirm the migrate transaction to receive POL. You pay Ethereum gas.

2. Tokens sent into a contract

   Circle USDC, Paxos, WLFI and others

   $380 · 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.

3. 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.

4. MKR never converted to SKY

   Maker / Sky

   <$1 · 1 position

   You hold MKR, or MKR in the old DSChief voting contract, that was never converted to SKY. The converter still works. Its fee is 5% now (read on-chain 2026-10-01) and rises 1 point every 3 months.

   1. Open the Sky app and connect your wallet.
   2. If your MKR is in the old DSChief voting contract, first call free(amount) on that contract.
   3. Approve MKR, then convert it to SKY. You get 24,000 SKY per MKR minus the fee.
   4. Without the app: call mkrToSky(usr, mkrAmt) on the converter 0xA1Ea1bA18E88C381C724a75F23a130420C403f9a.
