1. Lighter withdrawal not collected

   $161 · 1 position

   You withdrew from Lighter and the money reached the Ethereum contract, but you never collected it. It waits in the contract for you.

   1. Open the Lighter app and go to withdraw history.
   2. Press the claim button on the pending withdrawal. Or use the Write tab of the ZkLighter contract 0x3B4D794a66304F130a4Db8F2551B0070dfCf5ca7 on Etherscan and call withdrawPendingBalance.
   3. Confirm and pay the Ethereum gas fee. Funds go to the owner address.

2. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $40 · 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. Expired Element Finance position

   $4 · 2 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.
   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.

   $2 · 1 position

   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.
