2. Archived L2 bridge funds

   Archived L2s

   $121 · 1 positionMay not work

   This chain shut down and its state is gone, so no one can prove a withdrawal now. The Ethereum bridge still holds the money; only the chain team can release it.

   1. Use the official bridge of the chain you withdrew from (linked next to each of your positions).
   2. Check that chain's official site for a refund or recovery notice.
   3. Without the chain's final state nobody can prove a withdrawal. Only the chain team can release the bridge funds.

3. Unclaimed Starknet withdrawal

5. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $8 · 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.

8. Wormhole transfer not redeemed

9. Harmony balance (chain halted)

   $3 · 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.

10. ReactorFusion deposit (zkSync)

    ReactorFusion (zkSync)

    $1 · 1 position

    ReactorFusion lending is shut down and the website is gone. Your deposit receipt token may still be redeemable, but only for the cash left in the market, after you repay any debt.

    1. Open the receipt token contract of your market (in your row) in the block explorer, Write tab, and connect your wallet.
    2. If you have an open loan, repay it first.
    3. Call redeem or redeemUnderlying (or withdraw, if the contract shows that name). You get at most the cash still in the market.
    4. Not tested by us. Pay the network fee in the chain's coin. A developer may be needed.
