1. dYdX v3 balance

   $1 · 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 Your USDC can still be taken out through the escape hatch, or withdrawn if already released.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.

2. Tokens sent into a contract

   Circle USDC, Paxos, WLFI and others

   $1 · 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. Balancer v2 pool share

   <$1 · 1 position

   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.
