1. Funds in old Ethereum contracts (2015-2021)

   $49 · 1 position

   You have a balance in an old Ethereum contract (The DAO, EtherDelta, IDEX, the 2017 ENS registrar, DigixDAO and others). Each contract has its own withdraw call. Use the wallet that owns the position.

   1. The DAO: on the DAO token 0xbb9bc244d798123fde783fcc1c72d3bb8c189413 call approve(0xbf4ed7b27f1d666546e30d74d50d173d20bca754, yourBalance). Then call withdraw() on the WithdrawDAO contract 0xbf4ed7b27f1d666546e30d74d50d173d20bca754. It pays 1 ETH per 100 DAO.
   2. EtherDelta 0x8d12a197cb00d4747a1fe03395095ce2a5cc6819: from the wallet that deposited, call withdraw(amount) for ETH or withdrawToken(token, amount) for a token. Amounts are in the token's smallest unit.
   3. IDEX v1 0x2a0c0dbecc7e4d658f48e01e3fa353f44050c208: call withdraw(token, amount). Use token 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 for ETH. It reverts if your last IDEX activity was fewer than 240 blocks ago.
   4. 2017 ENS registrar 0x6090a6e47849629b7245dfa1ca21d94cd15878ef: call releaseDeed(labelhash) for the name. The labelhash is keccak256 of the name without .eth. The deposit goes back to the deed owner.
   5. Other contracts (DigixDAO, Neufund and more): use the contract's own withdraw or refund function on Etherscan from the owner wallet. Check the contract's code first.

3. Balancer rescue reward not claimed

   Balancer, Merkl

   $3 · 2 positions

   After the 3 Nov 2025 Balancer v2 exploit, some funds were rescued. If you held pool tokens at the snapshot block, you can claim your share. Balancer is winding down, so claim soon.

   1. Open balancer.fi and look for the rescued-funds claim page. Connect the wallet that held the pool tokens at the snapshot block.
   2. Check your amount, sign Balancer's claim terms (you release Balancer from liability), then send the claim and pay gas.
   3. Chains: Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon. Contract wallets: Balancer asked them to write to [email protected].

4. Polygon zkEVM balance

   $3 · 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.

5. GMX v1 GLP staked

   $3 · 2 positions

   You hold staked GLP, the liquidity token of GMX v1 (Arbitrum or Avalanche). GMX stopped v1 trading in July 2025; you can only sell existing GLP back for the underlying assets.

   1. Open v1.app.gmx.io, connect your wallet and use the Sell GLP page. If your GLP is staked, the page unstakes it as part of the sale.
   2. If the page fails, call unstakeAndRedeemGlp(tokenOut, glpAmount, minOut, receiver) on RewardRouterV2: Arbitrum 0xB95DB5B167D75e6d04227CfFFA61069348d271F5.
   3. GMX docs also mention claims for GLP holders in their distributions section. Rows marked as contracts (vesters, vaults) are unclear.

6. Unclaimed Starknet withdrawal

   StarkGate (Starknet)

   $3 · 1 position

7. Ionic Protocol deposit

   $2 · 1 positionMay not work

   Ionic Protocol lending is shut down and ionic.money is now a domain for sale. Your deposit receipt (ionToken) may still be redeemable, only for the cash left, first come first served.

   1. Open the ionToken contract for your market and chain in the block explorer. Find the pool list with PoolDirectory.getAllPools().
   2. If you have an open loan, repay it first.
   3. Connect your wallet and call redeem or redeemUnderlying. You get at most the cash left in the market.
